Catalog of the invertebrate type specimens hosted at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador and Escuela Politécnica Nacional natural history collections

“…Pichincha, Cotopaxi, and Napo provinces are again reported as the most explored, and the invertebrates of many localities already listed in the 2008 catalog (e.g., Reserva Otonga and Estación Científica Yasuni) continue to be studied ( Monte and Mascagni 2012 ; Erwin and Henry 2017 ; Flowers 2018 ). The southern provinces of Ecuador are starting to appear, i.e., Cajanuma, at the Parque Nacional Podocarpus, in Loja, where 19 species of Diptera : Drosophilidae were discovered and described by Peñafiel and Rafael (2018a , b , c ; 2019a , b ).…”
