Abstract

This resource presents the checklist of the species from the family Cerambycidae (Coleoptera: Cerambycoidea) collected in the Caribbean region of Colombia, founded during the revision of entomological collections in Colombia. In this checklist two subfamilies, 34 tribes, 89 genera and 127 species are reported. This information was gathered from the following entomological collections in Colombia: Universidad del Atlántico, Puerto Colombia (UARC), Museo Javeriano historia natural Lorenzo Uribe, S.J., Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá (MPUJ), Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional, Bogotá (ICN), Colección Taxonómica Nacional de Insectos Luis María Murillo, Corporación Colombiana de Investigación agropecuaria, Mosquera (CTNI). For all species the distribution in the Caribbean departments was indicated.

General description

Purpose: This checklist has as main purpose to increase the current state of knowledge of the diversity of Cerambycidae in the Caribbean region where it is found protected areas, strategic ecosystems as tropical dry forest and landscapes with a high connectivity and ecological integrity. This information will be useful to further investigation on the conservation of those ecosystems. Also, with this checklist the information of Cerambycidae in biological collection, in national and regional level, will be available through GBIF, where this information can be consulted for taking actions to protect those important ecosystems. Lastly, with the generation of this checklist will strength the interinstitutional network between the revised collections.

Methods

Method step description: Each researcher visited entomological collections in Barranquilla and Bogotá. It was identified the samples of Cerambycidae from the Caribbean coast of Colombia. All available occurrence data was written in a Darwin Core template available in the GBIF website. When necessary, the researcher identified or confirmed the species. From the occurrence data, it was elaborated the checklist of species. The data was sent for quality control. All critical errors were fixed, all non-critical errors were discussed and incorporated when necessary. The data was published and available to posterior modifications.
Study extent description: The study was performed in different entomological collections across Colombia since October 2021, where samples of Cerambycidae representative from the Caribbean coast of Colombia were deposited. 
Sampling description: Researchers with good taxonomic knowledge visited different entomological collections and revised the Cerambycidae collection, identifying to species level when necessary and listing the departments of the Caribbean region of Colombia where those species occur. 
Quality control description: The taxonomic quality of the checklist is ensured by having experts confirming the identification of the species. The data quality is ensured with the revision performed by the BID Regional Project Support Team, where all critical errors are pointed and fixed.
