| description | The richness of diurnal butterflies in the Montes de Maria (Serranía de Coraza) was characterized using linear transects of 600 m. long. Inside each transects eight circular plots of 15 m of radius were established. To collected butterflies, we used entomological network and Van Someren Rydon traps. To compare the composition, abundance and uniformity of the species in each transect and to establish if the samples were significant, range-abundance curves were performed. In addition, to calculated the expected number of species curve of rarefaction and extrapolation-interpolation were made. In total, 301 individuals were collected belongs to 4 families, 13 subfamilies, 22 tribes, 44 genera and 55 species. Nymphalidae have the highest abundance (235) and richness (37), while Biblidinae (120 individuals) and Hamadryas februa (56 individuals) were more abundant subfamily and species. Results suggest that tropical dry forests of Coraza, despite the anthropic impact, have a great diversity butterflies’ species. Herein we show the importance of following studying the butterfly composition and diversity that allows, not only know the structure of these communities, also to increase the knowledge inside tropical dry forest entomofauna of Serrania Coraza reserve. |

Entomología Montes de María, Colosó, richness, composition The richness of diurnal butterflies in the Montes de Maria (Serranía de Coraza) was characterized using linear transects of 600 m. long.

Herein we show the importance of following studying the butterfly composition and diversity that allows, not only know the structure of these communities, also to increase the knowledge inside tropical dry forest entomofauna of Serrania Coraza reserve. La riqueza de las mariposas diurnas en los Montes de María fue caracterizada a través de tres transectos lineales de 600 m. de largo, en los cuales se establecieron 8 parcelas circulares de 15 m. de radio para realizar las capturas. Dentro de cada parcela se recolectaron especímenes usando dos métodos: red entomológica y trampas Van Someren Rydon. Se realizaron curvas de rango-abundancia para comparar la composición, abundancia y uniformidad de las especies en cada transecto; además el número esperado de especies fue calculado a través de una curva de rarefacción y extrapolación-interpolación. En total se recolectaron 301 individuos agrupados en 4 familias, 13 subfamilias, 22 tribus, 44 géneros y 55 especies. Nymphalidae con 235 individuos y 37 especies, fue la familia más importante; mientras que Biblidinae y Hamadryas februa (56 individuos) son la subfamilia y especie más relevantes. Los resultados sugieren que los bosques secos de Coraza, a pesar de su destrucción por las actividades antrópicas, poseen gran riqueza de mariposas. Lo anterior, demuestra la importancia de seguir realizando estudios de composición de mariposas que permitan conocer no solo la estructura de estas comunidades, también para incrementar el conocimiento de la entomofauna de los bosques secos dentro de la reserva.
