Resumen

The Yungas or the Subtropical Mountain Forests represent one of the most biodiverse ecoregions in Argentina. Its distribution over the Andean mountain ranges helps retain water, generating the lotic ecosystems. The aim of this work is to describe a dataset of the Baetidae and Elmidae families. This dataset contains 1,183 records, 828 belong to Baetidae (15 genera and 27 species) and 355 to Elmidae (10 genera and 16 species). Ten out of the 24 protected areas were sampled, without records in some of them, such as northeastern Salta province and eastern Jujuy province. This work is intended to expose information gaps in order to contribute to future research projects.

Métodos

Data collection The dataset is part of the database of Entomological Collection of Instituto de Biodiversidad Neotropical (IBN) (CONICET – UNT), Argentina. The dataset was made with LibreOffice and data was cleaned with the OpenRefine 3.2 program, both open access software. This dataset is composed of three related tables: a) the location, which includes: country, province, county, municipality, locality, name of the station or river name, decimal latitude, decimal longitude and altitude (m); b) the taxonomic data, which includes: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, specific epithet, scientific name, author and year of scientific name, collector, event time, sampling protocol, identified by, individual count, life stage, catalog number, type status sex and preparations if it corresponds; c) the physical, chemical and environmental variables, which include: water and air temperature, pH, sample time, vegetation strata, biogeographic region and habitat. All the data on the sample labels were transcribed in the database. The samples are preserved in 70% or 96% ethyl alcohol (Levi, 1966; Simmons & Muñoz-Saba, 2015), inside glass vials. If the genitalia of some specimen were studied, they were conserved into different eppendorf tubes. For subsequent DNA studies, some of the samples were stored in a freezer. Each vial was designated a unique collection code, consisting of three parts: abbreviated name of the institution, taxonomic order category and vial number (e.g . IBN-E-300). Each vial may contain more than one specimen and, in some case, more than one species. All vials are deposited in a metal cabinet, in a room without windows with constant humidity and temperature of 50% and 23 °C (air conditioning and dehumidifier). The strong point of our collection is that most of the collectors are actively working on the collection, so the georeferences as well as any potential missing data were efficiently supplied and verified using digital cartography (satellite images; Quantum GIS v1.7; Google Earth Pro). The dataset was exported on DarwinCore v.1.4 (http://www.gbif.es/Recursos2.php), postvalidation was applied using DARWINTEST software (http://www.gbif.es/darwin_test/Darwin_Test_in.php), and the metadata was integrated to the dataset in DarwinCore Archive format. Finally, the dataset was provided to Sistema Nacional de Datos Biológicos, Ministerio de Educación, Cultura, Ciencia y Tecnología (SNDB, Argentina) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), by means of their Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT). The data were analyzed in a GIS (QGIS Development Team, 2018). The georeferenced points were overlapped on the protected areas of national and provincial jurisdiction (Administration of National Parks, Federal System of Protected Areas) and the reference maps were constructed from QGIS. In addition, digital elevation model GDEM-Aster V2 (global digital elevation model, version 2, Satellite Aster) was used to delineate altitude ranges that are related to the different altitude floors of the Yungas. This dataset is also available on GBIF and Sistema Nacional de Datos Biológicos (SNDB): https://doi.org/ 10.15468/3yegl2 (https://www.gbif.org/dataset/59e256fe- 2444-479c-b754-7e94d1cefcef); https://datos.sndb. mincyt.gob.ar/collectory/public/showDataResource/ dr9878
