First records of Symphyllophyton campos-portoi Gilg-Ben. (Gentianaceae) in Maranhão and Tocantins states, Brazil

Abstract

We report the second record of Symphyllophyton campos-portoi Gilg-Ben. in Brazil and the first records from the states of Maranhão and Tocantins, northeastern and northern of Brazil, respectively. The samples were collected in the Cerrado sensu stricto during the beginning of the dry season, within the boundaries of the Parque Estadual do Mirador, Maranhão, and on a farm in northeastern Tocantins. The finding contributes to the knowledge of the flora of these states and expands the known geographic distribution of S. campos-portoi. In this work, we present a description of the species, the first photographic record in this environment, and an identification key for the species of Symphyllophyton from Brazil.

New records of Ceratocampinae (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) species from the Cerrado of Maranhão, Brazil

“…Ceratocampinae species were collected in the Parque Estadual do Mirador between the sources of the Itapecuru and Alpercatas rivers (06°10'S, 044°43'W and 06°42'S,045°54'W) in the municipalities of Fernando Falcão, Formosa da Serra Negra and Mirador, Maranhão, Brazil. The vegetation of this park is of the Cerrado type with a subhumid climate, annual rainfall of 1,200 to 1,400 mm and average maximum and minimum temperatures of 33°C and 19°C, respectively (Silva et al 2020).…”
