Abstract

The number of species in the genus Phyllophaga Harris (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae) in Colombia is updated to 33. This group represents one of the most common components of the "white grubs" complex, known to damage important agricultural crops, especially in the Colombian Andean Mountains. A commented taxonomic history of the genus is provided, including five new records for the country (P. schizorhina, P. onoreana, P. densata, P. guanacasteca, and P. gigantea) and Phyllophaga tesorito is described as a new species. A key to the identification of male specimens of 30 species is included with a catalogue illustrating their key structures. Finally, aspects related to their ecological importance, geographic distribution, and phenology are discussed.

摘要

哥伦比亚哈里斯鳃金龟属（鞘翅目：金龟科：鳃金龟亚科）的物种数量更新为33种。该类群是“蛴螬”复合体中最常见的组成部分之一，已知会损害重要的农作物，尤其是在哥伦比亚安第斯山脉地区。文中提供了该属的分类学历史注释，包括该国的五个新记录（裂鼻鳃金龟、奥诺雷鳃金龟、密鳃金龟、瓜纳卡斯特鳃金龟和巨鳃金龟），并将特索里托鳃金龟描述为一个新物种。文中还包括了30种雄性标本的鉴定检索表，并附有说明其关键结构的图谱。最后，讨论了与它们的生态重要性、地理分布和物候相关的方面。
