Irwin Section of Economic Entomology, Illinois Natural History Survey, 172 Natural Resources Building, 607 East Peabody Drive, Champaign, Illinois 61820 and Evert I. Schlinger Department of Entomology, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720 Abstract: A 13-inonth expedition to Chile and southern Argentina resulted in 300,000 curated specimens, representing most terrestrial and freshwater groups of arthropods. Brachycerous Diptera, Arachnida, Hy- menoptera, Coleoptera, and Aphididae are best represented in the collection. Malaise traps in the Quebrada de la Plata, Maipu, Santiago Province, monitored daily insect flight activity throughout the 13 months. Expeditions throughout Chile and Argentina are mapped, and included 232 collecting sites. These sites are presented in gazetteer form to more fully explain label data and provide ecological associations. These collecting sites were classified into 19 distinct ecological zones as indicated by a map of the region studied. Introduction The Universidad de Chile and the University of California entered into a broad, 10-year co- operative agreement in 1965 that encompassed most disciplines in both Universities. Under this agreement, we developed a project entitled "A Faunal Analysis of Chilean Arthro- pods" for the years 1966-67, the objective of which was to develop a reference and study col- lection of arthropods for both Universities by collecting and rearing arthropods from major ecological zones of Chile. The original agreement between the Univer- sidad de Chile and the University of California called for an equal division of material between the two institutions with the primary types to be deposited with the Universidad de Chile, San- tiago, or some other institution in Chile so des- ignated by the Universidad de Chile. Most of the specimens gathered during the expedition were taken to the University of California, Riverside in 1967. A large portion of these specimens was mounted and labelled between 1967 and 1969. Some specimens were sent for study to system- atists around the world, and many new species have subsequently been described. In 1969, Schlinger took the arthropod specimens from the expedition with him to the University of Cali- fornia, Berkeley, where the curation process con- tinued. In 1978, through mutual agreement among the Universidad de Chile, University of California, and the California Academy of Sci- ences, the arthropod material from the expedi- [1] OCCASIONAL PAPERS OF THE CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, No. 144 tion at that time in the custody of the University of California, Berkeley, was transferred on per- manent loan to the California Academy of Sci- ences, San Francisco, where it remains. Along with this transfer there was a shift of responsi- bility from the University of California to the Academy of Sciences to uphold the intent of the original agreement between the Universidad de Chile and the University of California. Primary type-specimens and approximately half of the specimens identified by specialists will ultimate- ly be deposited at the Universidad de Chile, San- tiago, and the rest will be deposited with the California Academy of Sciences. The John Simon Guggenheim Foundation generously supported Schlinger's research on the Chilean spiders and their associated parasitoids. Irwin was supported by the Ford Foundation. We were fortunate to have had the able and gen- erous assistance of several Chilean entomolo- gists, including Luciano Campos, Raul Cortez, Roberto H. Gonzalez, Nelson Hitchins O., and Luis E. Pefia, for in-depth consultation about Chilean entomology and geography and for mak- ing facilities available to the project. The above- mentioned scientists were an integral part of the planning and functioning of the project. Other persons throughout Chile and Patago- nia, too numerous to mention individually, are gratefully acknowledged for aiding us with our many separate trips to various parts of the region. Materials and Methods Collection methods were many and varied for procuring arthropods in Chile and Patagonia. A modified malaise flight trap (the Amaud trap de- signed by Dr. Paul Amaud, Jr., California Acad- emy of Sciences, San Francisco, California) caught more specimens than any other collecting meth- od. Of the five flight traps we took to Chile, one was used exclusively near the headquarters of the Agricultural Experiment Station, Universidad de Chile, La Rinconada, Maipu, at an elevation of 450 m. Another trap was permanently assigned to a stream bed at the 510-m level in the Que- brada de la Plata, a canyon on the property of the Agricultural Experiment Station. Two traps were set up in different areas near the stream bed of the Quebrada de La Plata, one at 775 m, the other at 550 m; the latter was subsequently lost, so the former was intermittently used to replace it. That trap accompanied us during collecting excursions to more remote sites. Ultraviolet light proved effective for night flying specimens at the headquarters of the Agricultural Experiment Station, in southern Patagonia (es- pecially Santa Cruz Prov., Argentina), in south- em Chile from Cerro Paine southwards (Maga- llanes), in Tierra del Fuego (Magallanes), in Cordillera de Nahuelbuta (Malleco), in Los Queries (Curico), and in Los Perales (Valparaiso). Otherwise, light collecting proved disappointing and provided very few specimens. Arthropods were beaten and shaken from tree and bush limbs and leaves onto hand-held wire- frame sheets; this method was used mainly south of Santiago. Sand, soil, and litter were sieved frequently throughout Chile and Patagonia, re- sulting in the collection of many soil-dwelling arthropods. Searches under rocks and debris on the ground surface and under loose tree bark were also undertaken. Individual hand netting pro- vided the most diverse array of arthropods and was used at nearly all collecting sites. Composition of Collection Over 250,000 specimens have been mounted, labeled, and sorted at least to order. Another 50,000 have been sorted and stored in alcohol. While all groups of terrestrial and freshwater ar- thropods are represented in the collection, the following groups were emphasized: brachycerous Diptera, Arachnida, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Aphididae. A significant quantity of immature specimens were collected, some of which were reared to adults. Certain zones were emphasized in our collections: coastal (and some inland) sand dunes, Nothofagus forests, and Mediterranean scmb areas. Phenological Monitoring Daily samplings by flight trap were made throughout the year at 5 10 m in Quebrada de La Plata. The trap was changed almost daily, and during the peak fall months, it was changed twice a day. While we were on extended trips to various areas of the country, the trap was kindly main- tained by Mr. Nelson Hitchins O. The trap was located at the margin of an in- termittent stream in an area that contained a permanent water supply. During the fall months (late January to early April), before the rains wet t, x\^ ■H IRWIN AND SCHLINGER: ARTHROPOD EXPEDITION TO CHILE AND ARGENTINA )H the parched stream bed, this area teamed with insects seeking water. Therefore, during certain months the sphere of influence of the trap was greater than during other months. Nevertheless, the trap samples provide a good indication of seasonal occurrence of organisms. Gazetteer We prepared the following gazetteer to serve three major functions: 1) to more fully explain the collecting labels on specimens, particularly by giving more ecological data, 2) to correct la- bels that were accidentally misspelled or for other reasons somewhat inaccurate, and 3) to attempt to put Chile and its immediate surroundings into ecological perspective by the use of ecological zone numbers referable to the accompanying map (Fig. 1). This gazetteer represents only the col- lecting sites from 23 January 1966, through 19 February 1967; mainly visited by E. I. Schlinger and M. E. Irwin. A map of the areas of Chile and Patagonia traversed is also included to il- lustrate collecting routes (Fig. 1). Because many of the labels were made at the University of California, Riverside, while the collectors were still in Chile, some misspelling and inaccuracies were inevitable. We had hoped to have a uniform label format. The first line was to have the country in capital letters and the province in small letters; the second line was to have the smallest political unit (or in areas where none was available, some geographical unit, e.g., hill, river) and its modifier(s) (e.g., 5 km N). The third line was to vary according to information available, but always to contain the date, the month first in Roman numerals, then the day in Arabic numerals, and lastly the year in Arabic numerals. The elevation in meters (m) above sea level was to follow the date. The fourth line was to contain the names of the collectors, the rest of the line being reserved for associations, special collecting techniques, and comments when ap- propriate. The fifth line was to have contained the longitude and latitude of the smallest poten- tial unit, not its modifier (United States Board on Geographic Names 1967, 1968). This general format was followed to a great extent but there are some exceptions. In most cases one can find this information in the fol- lowing gazetteer. Where elevations are present, our altimeter was accurate to within ± 50 m, es- pecially at higher elevations. The gazetteer con- tains the following information: 1 . Country (only Chile and Argentina are in- volved) 2. Province 3. Smallest political unit (or geographical unit) 4. Modifier of smallest political unit 5. Longitude -Latitude (to smallest political unit) 6. Elevation in meters (±50 m) 7. Ecological zone of collecting site 8. General notes on area For the divisions into ecological zones (Fig. 1), Pena's (1966) classification of Chile into Ento- mofaunal Regions based on Tenebrionidae (In- secta: Coleoptera) was followed. O'Brien's (1971) entomofaunal regions were very similar but less detailed. Muiioz (1966) added greatly through his treatment of the Chilean flora. For areas bordering Chile in Argentina, we found that the extensive works of Morello (1958) and Soriano (1949, 1956) on the phytogeographical province of the "Monte" and Patagonia adequately de- scribed the limits of biotic zones in such a way that the boundaries of the Patagonian and Monte zones meshed well with Pena's Entomofaunal Regions. Therefore, with the addition of the Monte zone to Pena's 18 Chilean Regions, we were able to ecologically describe the collecting sites of this expedition. We collected rather ex- tensively in 18 of the 19 Regions, missing only the Southern Pacific Region. Description of the zones follows, largely extracted from Peiia (1966). Ecological Zones (See map, Figure 1 ) 1. High Plateau Region (Altiplano) "Puna." Very charac- teristic of parts of Peru, Bolivia, and northern Argentina. Re- stricted in Chile to the provinces Tarapac^ and Antofagasta in an area extending from border of Peru to just south of 24°S, east of the crest of the Andean Cordillera, above 4,000 m. Extensive, undulating table, cut in some places by canyons, characterized by numerous salt lakes and small streams. Dom- inant vegetational components species of Baccharis (Compos- itae) and Stipa (Gramineae). 2. Northern Andean Cordillera Region (Cordillera Andina del Norte). Northern limit at the Peruvian border, southern limit near 27°S, above 2,300 m. Rain in summer and snow in winter produces two spring seasons: one in November/Decem- ber, and another in March/April. Steep mountain slopes with deep canyons and volcanic soil to considerable depth sup- porting either a covering of grass or shrubby vegetation. Dom- inant plants species of Bacchahs, Stipa, and in some areas, Cactaceae.

This canyon was collected exten- sively and intensively over the entire period we were in Chile. Frequent collecting trips ensued and flight trap samples were taken daily at elevation 510 m. Flight traps were also set at 550 m and at 775 m for various periods of time {see Phe- nological Monitoring, above). The area is open woodland along the bottom, and runs neariy due east-west causing its south facing slope to be densely wooded while its north facing slope is dry with shrubs and cacti and in places is neariy barren. An intermittent stream flows through the quebrada and permanent pools occur near the 5 10-m area where the continuous flight trap samples were taken {see also La Rin- conada, notes); Zone 9.
