Borboletas (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea e Hesperioidea) de Matas Paludosas e Matas de Restinga da Planície Costeira da região Sul do Brasil

Abstract

Resumo: Este trabalho teve como objetivo elaborar uma lista de espécies de borboletas de Matas Paludosas e de Restingas da Planície Costeira do Rio Grande do Sul e de Santa Catarina contribuindo para o conhecimento da fauna de borboletas da Mata Atlântica. Foram compilados dados obtidos com amostragens realizadas através de duas técnicas de coleta (armadilha com isca atrativa e rede entomológica) nos anos de 2005 e 2011. Com um esforço amostral de 10.920 horas com armadilhas e de 360 horas-rede foram encontradas 225 espécies de borboletas nos dois ambientes, distribuídas em seis famílias e 19 subfamílias. Vinte e cinco espécies são registros novos ainda não publicados para o Rio Grande do Sul e 35 espécies são novos registros para a Mata Atlântica do Rio Grande do Sul, sendo seis Nymphalidae, dez Hesperiidae, doze Lycaenidae e sete Riodinidae. Os resultados gerados no presente estudo são fundamentais para o conhecimento e conservação dos táxons estudados bem como dos ambientes aos quais estão associados. Palavras-chave: Mata Atlântica, Parque Estadual de Itapeva, novos registros, riqueza de espécies.

Distribution patterns of riodinid butterflies (Lepidoptera: Riodinidae) from southern Brazil

“…In general, this scenario is common for all butterfly families present in Pampa (Rosa et al 2011). An important aspect should be considered: the well-sampled sites are reported in areas with an amount of researchers and established research institutions (mainly represented by universities) near the state capital (Porto Alegre) or their main research project sites (Iserhard and Romanowski 2004;Marchiori and Romanowski 2006a, b;Iserhard et al 2010;Bellaver et al 2012). In Brazil, this pattern is similar for all butterfly fauna, in which the counties that contain more inventories and higher values of species richness are located in areas surrounding important research centers, greatly limiting the access and exploitation to few and limited areas (Santos et al 2008).…”

“…The records of riodinid butterflies were collected from published studies (Mabilde 1896;Azzará 1978;Biezanko et al 1978;Ruszczyk 1986;Hall andHarvey 2001, 2002a;Krüger and Silva 2003;Iserhard and Romanowski 2004;Marchiori and Romanowski 2006a, b;Dessuy and Morais 2007;Sackis and Morais 2008;Giovenardi et al 2008;Bonfantti et al 2009;Iserhard et al 2010;Siewert et al 2010Siewert et al , 2014Fronza et al 2011;Ritter et al 2011;Rosa et al 2011;Morais et al 2012;Bellaver et al 2012;Dolibaina et al 2013;Dias et al 2013) All identifications and nomenclature of museum specimens were checked and revised, and for each specimen, the municipality, geographical coordinates, and reference collection were recorded. As reported by Ferro and Melo (2011), geographical coordinates were not available for most museum specimens, and thus, we used geographical coordinates from the municipality nearest to the point in which the specimen was collected, obtained by the GeoLoc tool for the information system 'splink' , available from the Reference Center on Environmental Information (http://splink.cria.org.br/geoloc).…”

“…In particular, few other parts of the country were ever surveyed since as early as the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. Most recently published inventories are related to Atlantic Forest habitats (Teston and Corseuil 1999, 2002Corseuil et al 2004;Iserhard and Romanowski 2004;Giovenardi et al 2008;Grazia et al 2008;Bonfantti et al 2009;Romanowski et al 2009;Iserhard et al 2010;Pedrotti et al 2011;Ritter et al 2011;Santos et al 2011;Bellaver et al 2012;Morais et al 2012), and the major gaps of information concern the Pampa (native grasslands), a biome restricted in Brazil to its extreme south and which covers about 2% of its surface, extending through Uruguay and northwest Argentina (Bencke 2009;Pillar et al 2009), exclusive to austral South America.…”

An integrative approach elucidates the systematics of Sea Hayward and Cybdelis Boisduval (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Biblidinae)

“…Carneiro et al, ) and Rio Grande do Sul (e.g. Bellaver et al, ) did not yield any specimens. Likewise, this subspecies is not known to occur in Atlantic interior seasonal forests or Araucaria moist forests of southeastern and southern Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay.…”

The “Taygetis ypthima species group” (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae): taxonomy, variation and description of a new species

“…Genitalia terminology follows Oiticica-Filho (1946) and Niculescu (1972-1983) . Distributional data were obtained from seven entomological institutions (see below) and, when possible, from the literature ( Biezanko 1960 , Ebert 1969 , Kochalka et al 1996 , Krüger and Silva 2003 , Iserhard and Romanowski 2004 , Quadros et al 2004 , Uehara-Prado et al 2004 , Giovenardi et al 2008 , Paz et al 2008 , Bonfantti et al 2009 , Iserhard et al 2010 , Peña et al 2010 , Dolibaina et al 2011 , Pedrotti et al 2011 , Santos et al 2011 , Soares et al 2011 , Bellaver et al 2012 , Silva et al 2012 ). Ventral and dorsal wings surfaces were photographed and their patterns compared to original descriptions.…”
