Abstract
New Dermaptera taxa (one new genus and four new species) are reported from amber pieces proceeding from Mina Los Pocitos near Simojovel de Allende, Chiapas. The amber pieces were collected in the lower Miocene Mazantic Shale, including well-preserved earwigs, with only one antecedent for this insect group in the Mexican amber. The presence of this kind of insects supports the paleoenvironmental interpretation for the Mazantic Shale amber as of a humid forest.
在Chiapas simmojovel de Allende附近的Mina Los Pocitos琥珀中发现了新的皮翅目分类群(1新属和4新种)。这些琥珀碎片是在中新世下侏罗岩页岩中收集的,包括保存完好的蠼螋,在墨西哥琥珀中只有一个昆虫群的先例。这类昆虫的存在支持了马札蒂克页岩琥珀为湿润森林的古环境解释。
期刊介绍:
The Boletín de la Sociedad Geológica Mexicana is a completely free-access electronic journal published semi-annually that publishes papers and technical notes with its main objective to contribute to an understanding of the geology of Mexico, of its neighbor areas, and of geologically similar areas anywhere on Earth’s crust. Geology has no boundaries so we may publish papers on any area of knowledge that is interesting to our readers.
We also favor the publication of papers on relatively unfamiliar subjects and objectives in mainstream journals, e.g., papers devoted to new methodologies or their improvement, and areas of knowledge that in the past had relatively little attention paid them in Mexican journals, such as urban geology, water management, environmental geology, and ore deposits, among others. Mexico is a land of volcanos, earthquakes, vast resources in minerals and petroleum, and a shortage of water. Consequently, these topics should certainly be of major interest to our readers, our Society, and society in general. Furthermore, the Boletín has been published since 1904; that makes it one of the oldest scientific journals currently active in Mexico and, most notably, its entire contents, from the first issue on, are available online.
