“…Despite the richness found in the area, few surveys were carried out at particular regions in Brazil (e.g., Laroca and Mielke 1975;Motta 1998;Marinoni et al 1999;Á vila Jr. 2005). This is the case of the northeastern region (e.g., Duarte Jr. et al 2001;Schlindwein 2005a, b, 2008;Lopes et al 2006).…”

Synchronous phenology of hawkmoths (Sphingidae) and Inga species (Fabaceae–Mimosoideae): implications for the restoration of the Atlantic forest of northeastern Brazil

Biotic and abiotic factors such as resource availability and rainfall may exert influence on the life cycle of several organisms. In this study, we investigated correlations between the phenology of hawkmoths, flowering phenology of Inga Mill. species (Fabaceae-Mimosoideae-Ingeae) and rainfall in one of the largest remnants of Atlantic forest in northeastern Brazil (Coimbra forest with ca. 3500 ha). We carried out monthly hawkmoth inventories and phenological observations of the five most abundant Inga species in Coimbra forest from October 2005 to August 2007. Altogether 39 hawkmoth individuals were collected with light trap or butterfly net, which were ascribed to nine genera and 14 species. With the present study Pachygonidia caliginosa Boisduval (BombycoideaSphingidae-Dilophonotina) is registered for the second time in Brazil, since the species had been previously collected only in the Amazon. The tribe Dilophonotina was the most represented with five species. Animals with short proboscises (14.7-35.0 mm) represented over 69.7% of the sample. Most individuals were collected during the months of low rainfall, the same period of the highest flower abundance of five Inga species. The flowering of Inga vera, I. striata and I. ingoides was positively correlated with hawkmoth abundance. The synchrony of the activity period of these animals in adult phase with certain nectar sources, and the relationship between morphological parameters of hawkmoths and Inga flowers suggest a narrow pollination mutualistic relationship at the study site. Considering the hotspot status of the Atlantic forest due to high fragmentation and habitat loss, as well as the previous local extinction of hawkmoth species in smaller fragments of the studied landscape, our results are relevant for restoration plans not only for the Brazilian Atlantic forest, but for neotropical forests in general, where Inga is native.

A fauna de esfingídeos (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae) foi estudada no Parque Nacional do Jaú e arredores, Amazonas, Brasil, durante o período de julho de 1993 a junho de 1996. O método empregado para as coletas foi luz mista de mercúrio e luz negra UV montadas sobre um lençol branco em períodos de 12 horas consecutivas. Foram coletados 2362 espécimes de 25 gêneros e 79 espécies, com a predominância de espécies das tribos Dilophonotini (45 espécies), seguida por Sphingini (13 spp.), Macroglossini (8 spp.), Philampelini (7 spp.) e Ambulycini (6 spp.). Os dados são comparados a outras áreas da Amazônia brasileira: Município de Itacoatiara (AM), Ilha de Maracá e Pacaraima (RR). Apresenta-se uma lista das espécies de esfingídeos incluindo 16 registros novos para o Estado do Amazonas e igualmente para todas as localidades em que foram coletadas.

“…Camargo et al (2016) did not mention the occurrence of X. ploetzi in their work on the hawkmoths of the Brazilian Amazon, and neither did Kitching (2017) in his taxonomic inventory of the Sphingidae. The new data are important because this species has never been reported in the numerous surveys, usually with light traps in the state of Amazonas (e.g., Motta et al 1998, Motta and Andreazze 2001, Motta and Xavier Filho 2005, Motta 2009). …”
