Abstract
The natural environment is and has been modified according to human needs either by urbanization or for expansion of cultivation areas. Changes in areas coverage involve a transformation in their associated diversity. Insects are one the best studied groups in agricultural ecosystems but such knowledge is generally limited to pest species and their biological regulators. Butterflies have been used as an indicator group to assess the impact of management practices and habitat modification. This prompted the study of diurnal butterflies diversity associated with a citric agroecosystem in the canyon of the Cauca River, Colombia. The sampling yielded a record of 76 species represented mainly by the family Nymphalidae. This work contributes to the knowledge of the Colombian Lepidoptera and increases data distribution of diurnal butterflies in America.
