| description | The genus and its five known species are redescribed and P. jicaquei sp. nov. is described. Synonymies include P. beckeri Zang, 1905 with P. opacipennis (Thompson, 1857) (new synonymy), P. mandibularis Casey, 1914 with P. burmeisteri Kuwert, 1891 (new synonymy), P. magister Casey, 1897 with P. mniszechi Kaup, 1868 (new synonymy), P. densipennis Casey, 1914 with P. opacipennis (Thompson, 1857) (new synonymy), and P. kraatzi Kuwert, 1898 with P. mniszechi Kaup, 1868 (new synonymy). We include a phylogenetic analysis, keys for larvae and adults, and biogeographic information for each species. The genus occurs from Mexico to Colombia. Proculus mniszechi is parapatric with P. burmeisteri and partially sympatric with P. opacipennis in Sierra de las Minas, Sierra de Santa Cruz and Cuchumatan Mountains; P. mniszechi occurs in a type of cloud forest above 1500 m altitude, whereas P. opacipennis occurs in another cloud forest type below 1500 m. Proculus opacipennis has a similar relation with P. opacus Kuwert 1891 in the Cuchumatan Mountains, where P. opacus apparently replaces P. mniszechi. Proculus goryi (Melly, 1833) occurs in the volcanic chain of the Pacific coast of Guatemala and Chiapas, Mexico. Proculus jicaquei sp. nov. is known only from the mountains northwest of Yoro, Honduras. Phylogenetic hypothesis shows that P. jicaquei is most closely to P. goryi, these two taxa form a sister clade to all other Proculus species. Proculus mniszechi and P. burmeisteri are sister taxa, as are P. opacus and P. opacipennis. |

El género Proculus y sus cinco especies conocidas son redescritas, además se describe Proculus jicaquei sp. nov. Son sinonimizados: P. beckeri Zang, 1905 (syn. nov.) y P. densipennis Casey, 1914 (syn. nov.) con P. opacipennis (Thompson, 1857); P. mandibularis Casey, 1914 (syn. nov.) con P. burmeisteri Kuwert, 1891; y P. kraatzi Kuwert, 1898 (syn. nov.) y P. magister Casey, 1897 (syn. nov.) con P. mniszechi Kaup, 1868. Se incluyen claves de los adultos y las larvas, e información biogeográfica sobre cada especie. El género se distribuye desde México hasta Colombia. Proculus mniszechi es parapátrica con P. burmeisteri, aunque son parcialmente simpátridas, en la Sierra de las Minas, Sierra de Santa Cruz y Sierra de los Cuchumatanes de Guatemala, P. mniszechi se encuentra en un tipo de bosque mesófilo por arriba de los 1500 m y P. opacipennis se encuentra en otro tipo de bosque mesófilo por abajo de los 1500 m. Proculus opacipennis tiene una relación similar con P. opacus en la Sierra de los Cuchumatanes, donde P. opacus aparentemente reemplaza a P. mniszechi. Proculusgoryi (Melly, 1833) se encuentra en la cadena de volcanes de la costa pacífica de Guatemala y Chiapas, México. Proculus jicaquei sp. nov. unicamente es conocida de una localidad de las montañas al noroeste de Yoro, Honduras. La hipótesis filogenética muestra que P. jicaquei está más relacionada con P. goryi, estas dos especies forman el clado hermano de todas las otras especies de Proculus. En tanto que P. mniszechi y P. burmeisteri sontaxa hermanos, como por su parte lo son P. opacus y P. opacipennis Instituto de Ecología, A.C. 2022-08-04 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Original articles Artículos originales application/pdf https://azm.ojs.inecol.mx/index.php/azm/article/view/2555 10.21829/azm.2003.902555 ACTA ZOOLÓGICA MEXICANA (N.S.); No. 90 (2003); 281-306 ACTA ZOOLÓGICA MEXICANA (N.S.); Núm. 90 (2003); 281-306 2448-8445 0065-1737 spa https://azm.ojs.inecol.mx/index.php/azm/article/view/2555/2973 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 |
