GUTIERREZ, Yeisson  e  BACCA, Tito. PHASMATODEA (INSECTA) OF THE ÑAMBÍ NATURAL RIVER RESERVATION, NARIÑO, COLOMBIA. Bol. Cient. Mus. Hist. Nat. Univ. Caldas [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.1, pp.210-221. ISSN 0123-3068.

This paper presents a preliminary list of Phasmatodea of Ñambí River Nature Reserve, as a result of a six days sampling using sweep net and manual collection. Fourteen species were found, of which six were identified at generic level; Acanthoclonia, Atratomorpha, Globocrania, Ignacia, Parobrimus, Phanocles and eight at specific level; Olcyphides obscurellus, Holca annulipes, Isagoras proximus, Laciniobethra aff. conradi, Libethra nisseri, Metriophasma (Acanthometriotes) myrsilus, Paraceroys quadrispinosus, Phanocloidea schulthessi. Three of these species are reported in Colombia for the first time: O. obscurellus, I. proximus and P. schulthessi. All genera and species reported are distributed only in South America, except for Phanocles with distribution in Central America as well, and some taxa are registered in the department of Nariño for the first time. This work shows that like for other organisms studied in biogeographical Chocó, the diversity of Phasmatodea is high and for this reason more studies should be encouraged about the faunal composition of this group in this region and in Colombia.
