Taxonomic notes on South American longhorned beetles, with the description of seven new species of Acanthocinini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) from Ecuador

Diversity of Beetles (Coleoptera) in an Inter-Andean Dry Tropical Forest in Ecuador

“…An example of the former is the canopy fogging surveys by Terry Erwin (Spence et al 2021) in the Tiputini Biological Station (Yasuní National Park), which continue to yield new species for science (e.g., Dole et al 2021). Recent studies have started to address some of these issues, including taxonomic descriptions and reviews (Chamorro et al 2019;Monte and Mascagni 2012;Santos-Silva et al 2021), studies on invasive species and pests (Cisneros-Heredia and Peñaherrera-Romero 2020; Stilwell et al 2014), and ecological studies (Espinoza and Noriega 2018;Moret et al 2020). Despite these efforts, many taxa remain understudied, and their biology is unknown.…”
