Se presentan nuevos registros de tres especies de cucarachas (Insecta: Blattodea: Blattidae) exóticas para los estados mexicanos de Nuevo León y Tamaulipas.
The woodlouse spider Dysdera crocata C. L. Koch, native to the Old World, is recorded for the Mexican state of Nuevo León via the revision of vouchered specimens; it is also recorded for the states of Baja California, Guanajuato, Hidalgo, San Luis Potosí, and Zacatecas via the revision of photographic records from the citizen science platform iNaturalist; these represent the first records of the species for said states. A brief diagnosis is provided for the family and the species.
Se analizaron especímenes de mantis (Insecta: Mantodea) de dos colecciones entomológicas de Nuevo León, y, en conjunto con registros de la literatura recientes, se reveló la presencia de ocho especies agrupadas en siete géneros y tres familias. La especie Oligonyx bicornis es registrada por primera vez para el estado. Se cuestiona el registro de Pseudomusonia lineativentris para Nuevo León y México. Se propone una clave de identificación para las especies registradas en el estado, así como aquellas con potencial distribución en este.
New state records of species of the flat-backed millipede family Paradoxosomatidae (Diplopoda: Polydesmida) are made for Mexico: Akamptogonus novarae (Humbert and Saussure, 1869) is recorded for the state of Nuevo Leon; Asiomorpha coarctata (Saussure, 1860) is recorded for the states of Estado de Mexico, Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas and Oaxaca; Chondromorpha xanthotricha (Attems, 1898) is recorded for the states of Chiapas, Hidalgo, Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas and Yucatan; and Oxidus gracilis (C.L. Koch, 1847) is recorded for the states of Coahuila and Tamaulipas. We also present two new cases of predation on Oxidus gracilis from a railroad worm (Coleoptera: Phengodidae) larva and a vinegaroon (Thelyphonida: Thelyphonidae).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
