Levantamento e análise faunística da família Scolytidae (Coleoptera) em comunidades florestais no Estado do Paraná

Abstract

Survey and Faunistic Analysis of the Family Scolytidae (Coleoptera) in Five ForestCommunities in the State of Paraná Ambrosia beeties are common insects present in the butt log of injured, weakened, dead or recently feli trees. This study aimed to characterize five forestry communities in relation to the species of the fainily Scolytidae. Twenty window traps baited with ethanol were installed ai 0.5 and 1.3 m height in each of the foliowing forest communities: Pinus taeda L., P. elliottii Engelman, Araucaria angustifolia (Bert) O. Kunt, Eucalyptus dunnii Maiden and the native forest. To characterize the communities, ecological indexes were used. Fifiy-two species were identffied belonging to 17 genera. The predominant species were Hypothenemur eruditus West'vvod, H. obscurus F., H. bolivianus (Eggers),XyleborusgracilisEichlioff,Xferrugineus F. andX biseriatus Schedl. The native foresi areashowed the greatest diversiflcation ofbeetle species. P. taeda and P. elliottiz were similar in terms of quality and quantity of common species.
