Abstract

CLAVIJO GIRALDO, Alejandra et al. Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) of the El Romeral Forest Reserve in the Cordillera Central, Antioquia, Colombia. Biota colombiana [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.2, pp.142-155. ISSN 0124-5376.  https://doi.org/10.21068/c2020.v21n02a10.

We present a public database at SIB Colombia, the product of several studies about the diversity and complementarity of a butterfly community (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) in the El Romeral reserve, a protected area located southwest of the Aburrá Valley on the Central Cordillera in the department of Antioquia, Colombia. We report 69 species, 40 genera, 12 subfamilies and 5 families of butterflies in high Andean ecosystems, between 2250 and 2878 m a.s.l., including unique records and endemic species. The information is associated with specimens and barcode sequences in GenBank.

Keywords : Barcode cox1; Entomological collection; High Andean forest.
