RAMOS-ARTUNDUAGA, Jonathan; LONDONO-CARVAJAL C, Carlos Andrés e MARIN-URIBE, Mario Alejandro. Butterflies associated with forests in Solano, Caquetá, Colombian Amazon (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea). Biota colombiana [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.2, pp.56-69. Epub 29-Jul-2021. ISSN 0124-5376. https://doi.org/10.21068/c2021.v22n02a03.
We sampled the butterfly community in the municipality of Solano, department of Caquetá, in Colombian Amazonia. The collection of butterflies was carried out during four consecutive days at four study locations, using bait traps and active search nets. Each location had 12 sampling points, with a distance of 250 m between points, for a total sampling length of three kilometers. We collected 487 individuals belonging to 110 species, 80 genera, 28 tribes, 17 subfamilies and six families. The families with the highest abundance and number of species were Nymphalidae, with 68.2 % (75 spp.), Riodinidae 11.8 % (13 spp.) and Pieridae 10 % (11 spp.). The best represented subfamily was Satyrinae (N=228), particularly the tribe Morphini (N=65). Remarkable findings include six species of Marpesia, one third of the species described for the genus, and Gunayan rubricollis, a rare species in Colombia. The present research confirms the diversity of butterflies in Amazon forests, where more than 40 % of the species are indicators of the forest’s good state of conservation.
