Diversidad de Phengodidae (Coleoptera, Elateroidea) en ecosistemas altoandinos de la Cordillera Central en el departamento de Antioquia

As a result of sampling carried out in the páramo complexes of Santa Inés and Sonsón and two forests in the municipalities of Envigado and Yarumal, the Phengodidae genera Pseudophengodes, Microphengodes, Euryopa, Cephalophrixothrix, Halffterus, Howdenia, Ptorthodius, Pseudomastinocerus, Stenophrixothrix, Taximastinocerus and Penicillophorus are recorded. Halffterus is a new record from Colombia and all the genera are recorded for the first time from the Department of Antioquia. The ecosystem where the greatest abundance was found was the forest and the most effective trap for their capture was the Malaise ground trap. Finally, a key to the genera known from Colombia is provided.

Abstract

As a result of sampling carried out in the páramo complexes of Santa Inés and Sonsón and two forests in the municipalities of Envigado and Yarumal, the Phengodidae genera Pseudophengodes, Microphengodes, Euryopa, Cephalophrixothrix, Halffterus, Howdenia, Ptorthodius, Pseudomastinocerus, Stenophrixothrix, Taximastinocerus and Penicillophorus are recorded. Halffterus is a new record from Colombia and all the genera are recorded for the first time from the Department of Antioquia. The ecosystem where the greatest abundance was found was the forest and the most effective trap for their capture was the Malaise ground trap. Finally, a key to the genera known from Colombia is provided.
