Biodiversity inventories represent an integral component for the adequate management of natural resources of any country. In the case of faunistic studies, however, these rarely include arthropod taxa due to their considerably high diversity and scarce taxonomic knowledge. In this context, DNA Barcoding (

A total of 10 collecting trips of 5 to 10 days each were carried out from June 2009 to May 2011. Collects were performed both during the rainy and dry seasons in order to have a complete representation of the examined group through the year. Specimens were collected in 24 sites within the CBS boundaries (Table
DNA samples were obtained from a single hind leg and sent for DNA extraction and amplification to the Canadian Center for DNA Barcoding at University of Guelph, Ontario (see detailed laboratory protocols in
Species boundaries were established following a 2% divergence criterion (

A total of 961 specimens were collected during the ten field trips, of which 883 COI sequences were generated. Fifteen of these sequences had a length lower than 500 bp and thus did not receive a BIN, though they were included in the analysis. The sequences generated belonged to 289 barcoding species and 30 identified genera, though four barcoding species could not be assigned to any genus (Table

The Mexican dry tropical forest is known for containing a considerably high species richness and endemicity rates for various plant and animal groups (
Our updated study identified 14 additional genera and increased 53% the number of barcoding species found in the CBS with respect to the results obtained in

Neighbour-joining tree obtained from BOLD that includes 883 nucleotide sequences belonging to doryctine specimens. The distance model used was the Kimura 2 Parameter, the marker was COI-5P, and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd codon positions were included. The sequences had a lengrh greater than 200bp. See Suppl. material
