Abstract

La Colección Entomológica Universidad de Antioquia (CEUA) está cimentada en la fundación y desde entonces dirección de la profesora Marta Wolff a partir del año 1997 hasta junio de 2025. Desde julio de 2025 el profesor Cornelio Bota continúa su legado como responsable de la CEUA. Nuestra colección cuenta con un número estimado de 1.000.000 de ejemplares entre insectos y arácnidos siendo nutrida durante 28 años con material obtenido de las salidas de campo de cursos entomológicos de pregrado y posgrado, con la donación de ejemplares, la realización de diferentes proyectos de investigación y de servicios prestados a diferentes actores de la sociedad. Con la actualización de este recurso, presentamos información de 103.127 registros biológicos de calidad preservados en nuestra colección, que son equivalentes a 381.353 ejemplares en poco más de 30 ordenes del Phylum Arthropoda. La mayoría de la Clase Insecta entre los que destacamos: Archaeognatha, Blattaria, Coleoptera, Collembola, Dermaptera, Diptera, Embioptera, Ephemeroptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Mantodea, Mecoptera, Megaloptera, Neuroptera, Odonata, Orthoptera, Phasmatodea, Plecoptera, Psocoptera, Thysanoptera, Zygentoma y Trichoptera, mientras que para Arachnida se incluyen aquí representantes del orden Araneae y la subclase Acari. El recurso actual representa casi todo el territorio colombiano siendo testigos de la enorme diversidad de artrópodos en el país. Se incluyen registros de 31 departamentos (Amazonas, Antioquia, Arauca, Archipiélago de San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina, Atlántico, Bolívar, Boyacá, Caldas, Caquetá, Casanare, Cauca, Cesar, Chocó, Córdoba, Cundinamarca, Guaviare, Huila, La Guajira, Magdalena, Meta, Nariño, Norte de Santander, Putumayo, Quindío, Risaralda, Santander, Sucre, Tolima, Valle del Cauca, Vaupés y Vichada) que comprenden más de 1.000 localidades. Las coordenadas de los registros fueron revisadas y/o georreferenciadas según los métodos presentados en el "Taller de Descripción y Estructura de los Parámetros para la Georreferenciación de Localidades en Colecciones Biológicas" dirigido por el Instituto Alexander von Humboldt en el mes de mayo del 2014, en la ciudad de Medellín. Es importante mencionar que algunos de los ejemplares presentados en el recurso, se encuentran asociados a la publicación de artículos de datos, como es el caso del artículo "Dípteros asociados a fitotelmata en un bosque pluvial tropical (bp-T) en Chocó, Colombia" DOI: https://doi.org/10.21068/2539200X.1126 por lo tanto, dentro del recurso, es posible acceder a dichos datos y se encuentran señalados en el dataset name como: Dípteros_asociados_Fitotelmata_bosque_pluvial_tropical_Chocó_Colombia.

The Entomological Collection of the University of Antioquia (CEUA) is based on the foundation and direction of Professor Marta Wolff from 1997 until June 2025. Since July 2025, Professor Cornelio Bota continues his legacy as head of the CEUA. Our collection has an estimated number of 1,000,000 specimens of insects and arachnids and has been nourished for 28 years with material obtained from field trips of undergraduate and graduate entomological courses, with the donation of specimens, the realization of different research projects and services provided to different actors of society. With the updating of this resource, we present information on 103,127 quality biological records preserved in our collection, which are equivalent to 381,353 specimens in a little more than 30 orders of the Phylum Arthropoda. Most of the Class Insecta among which we highlight: Archaeognatha, Blattaria, Coleoptera, Collembola, Dermaptera, Diptera, Diptera, Embioptera, Ephemeroptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Mantodea, Mecoptera, Megaloptera, Neuroptera, Odonata, Orthoptera, Phasmatodea, Plecoptera, Psocoptera, Thysanoptera, Zygentoma and Trichoptera, while for Arachnida representatives of the order Araneae and the subclass Acari are included here. The current resource represents almost the entire Colombian territory, bearing witness to the enormous diversity of arthropods in the country. Records from 31 departments are included (Amazonas, Antioquia, Arauca, Archipelago of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina, Atlántico, Bolívar, Boyacá, Caldas, Caquetá, Casanare, Cauca, Cesar, Chocó, Córdoba, Cundinamarca, Guaviare, Huila, La Guajira, Magdalena, Meta, Nariño, Norte de Santander, Putumayo, Quindío, Risaralda, Santander, Sucre, Tolima, Valle del Cauca, Vaupés and Vichada) comprising more than 1,000 localities. 1,000 localities. The coordinates of the records were revised and/or georeferenced according to the methods presented at the “Workshop on Description and Structure of Parameters for the Georeferencing of Localities in Biological Collections” conducted by the Alexander von Humboldt Institute in May 2014, in the city of Medellín. It is important to mention that some of the specimens presented in the resource are associated with the publication of data papers, as is the case of the article “Diptera associated with phytotelmata in a tropical rainforest (bp-T) in Chocó, Colombia” DOI: https://doi.org/10.21068/2539200X.1126 therefore, within the resource, it is possible to access such data being indicated in the dataset name as: Dípteros_asociados_Fitotelmata_bosque_pluvial_tropical_Chocó_Colombia.
