BACKGROUND A revised list of the mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) known to occur in Colombia is presented. A total of 324 species from 28 genera of Culicidae are included. The species names are organized in alphabetical order according to the current generic and subgeneric classification, along with their authorship. The list is compiled in order to support mosquito research in Colombia. NEW I...

L.N. MANCHESTER, A . TOOLE AND R . GOODACRE. 1995. Forty-eight strains of Carnobacter ium were examined by pyrolysis mass spectrometry (PyMS). T h e effects of culture age and reproducibility over a 4 week period were also examined. T h e results were analysed by multivariate statistical techniques and compared with those from a previous numerical taxonomic study based on morphological, physiol...

UNLABELLED • PREMISE OF THE STUDY The use of multiple genetic regions from the nuclear genome, including low-copy markers, has long been recognized as essential to robust phylogenetic construction, addressing gene tree incongruence, and allowing increased resolution to test current taxonomy and resolve basic hypotheses about character evolution, biogeography, and other organismal traits of in...

The taxonomic circumscription of the large and diverse leaf beetle genus Chrysolina Motschulsky is not clear, and its discrimination from the closely related genus Oreina Chevrolat has classically been controversial. In addition, the subgeneric arrangement of the species is unstable, and proposals segregating Chrysolina species into new genera have been recently suggested. In this context, the ...
