Diversidad y distribución de cinco familias de Papilionoidea (Lepidoptera) de las selvas altas en la provincia biogeográfica del Golfo de México

[摘要] In this work, we analyzed the richness and biogeographic relations of Papilionoidea at the Mexican Gulf Biogeographic Province. It applied PAE and Jaccard index at 24 sites and we find 793 species was associated at high evergreen tropical forest (ETF), of which 218 were Exclusives species in this vegetation type and they can used in conservation studies, and 86 of these as Restricted with limited distribution in ETF. In this analysis, the studied sites formed two groups, one at north and another at south of the Sierra Chiconquiaco. These groups support the idea of the Mexican Gulf biogeographic province separated in two districts.
