The mission of the National Biodiversity Institute (INBio) is to promote a greater consciousness on the value of biodiversity to achieve its preservation and improve the quality of life of the human being. To achieve these objectives, INBio, through a group of expert taxonomists conducts an inventory of its fauna in order to maintain systematized collections of reference, updated and available to a wide community of users of its page and that of REMIB. Consequently, the participation of INBio in REMIB is very important since it enriches and broadens information related to the flora and fauna of Mesoamerica. The database of the Entomology Collection of the INBio has 2 325 794 records corresponding to 291 families, 3 782 genera and 9 324 species.
