Se describe una nueva especie del género Eremoblatta Rehn, 1903, con base en material colectado en detritos de Atta mexicana (Smith 1858), en Querétaro, México.
We report the alpha diversity of the butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea sensu Llorente-Bousquets et al., 2006 and Warren, 2009) of the Metepec Municipality, State of México, Mexico, whose human development index has caused, in a short time, the transformation from a natural landscape to an urban landscape. The field work included 23 samplings, carried out from May 2015 to September 2016. Eighteen sampling sites were divided into 3 main zones: urban (U), urban parks (PU) and marshes (L). A total of 41 species were identified, which are the first records for the municipality of Metepec. Of these, 4 species are endemic to Mexico and 1 is classified as a special protected species by NOM-059-Semarnat-2010. Also, 2 new state records are reported. The richness of Lepidoptera of the municipality of Metepec constitutes 11.45% of the total of the species registered for the State of México. The urban zone had the highest number of species (36); followed by urban parks (17) and the marshes zone (16). Due to the accelerated urbanization of the municipality, it is essential to propose urban landscapes management strategies that protect local biodiversity
Eldaina gen. n. y siete nuevas especies de Blattellidae son descritas para la blatodeofauna mexicana. La especie Xestoblatta caussaneli Grandcolas, 1992 es transferida a este nuevo género e incluida en la clave para la separación de las especies que lo integran.
Morelos is the second smallest state in Mexico, nevertheless, it possesses a remarkable diversity of habitats and insects. Contrastingly, very little is known about some taxa like Blattodea. Here we present new data and taxonomic arrangements for some Blaberoidea of the state and a checklist of cockroaches from Morelos. New material was sampled from Reserva de la Bisfera Sierra de Huautla, near the village El Limón and an urban site in Cuernavaca, Loma Bonita colony. We report 13 genera and 15 species for Morelos state. Panchlora acolhua, Caloblatta sp. and Ischnoptera rufa occidentalis are new state records. Holotypes of Cahita nahua and C. yaqui are illustrated for the first time, and a new species is described for Cuernavaca, Morelos. Total number of reported localities are scarce (18), with many municipalities poorly or not studied. Morelos shows an interesting potential richness according to the state area. In this work, with only a few samples from two localities, important information has been generated. With more studies and efforts, the number of species should increase, including new species.
Se revisa por primera vez a la especie tipo del género Macrophyllodromia Saussure y Zehntner, basados en el ejemplar tipo y nuevo material procedente de México. Se rediagnostica el género, se redescribe la especie y se ilustran los caracteres de mayor importancia taxonómica.
Es descrita una nueva especie del género Neotrópical Rochaina Estrada-Álvarez, Lopes, Maes, Sánchez-Ocampo & Sormani, 2021 para las costas del Pacifico Mexicano, siendo la octava del género y segunda para México.
