“…More recently, most of the progress done on the study of madicolous organisms came out of taxonomic works (Sinclair 1988, Cranston 1998, Roque and Trivinho-Strixino 2004, Short 2009, Short et al 2013, Bilton 2015, Pinho and Andersen 2015, Trivinho-Strixino and Shimabukuro 2017, Shimabukuro et al 2017a, b, Pinho and Shimabukuro 2018), emphasizing the potential of this habitat in harboring a rich and endemic overlooked fauna. In South America, madicolous habitats have recently provided remarkable discoveries on the occurrence of insects, from new records (Roque and Trivinho-Strixino 2004, Short et al 2013, Pinho and Andersen 2015) to several new species (Pepinelli et al 2009, Silva et al 2012, Trivinho-Strixino et al 2012, Miller and Montano 2014, Shimabukuro et al 2017a, b, Pinho and Shimabukuro 2018). …”

Thin layers of water running over rocky surfaces are characteristic of madicolous habitats, which harbor a peculiar Chironomidae community. However, information on the identity, distribution, and ecology of madicolous chironomids in the Neotropical region are still sparse. The main purpose of this research is to reveal and contribute to the ecology of madicolous Chironomidae species, especially regarding their altitudinal distribution in the Atlantic Forest. Sampling was performed using our own designed emergence traps deployed from 0 to 2700 m a.s.l. in 70 sites in three mountains in southeastern Brazil. Sixty taxa of chironomids were collected and identified, of which only 22 are known to science. Most of the species showed a wider distribution than previously known, both in terms of geographic and altitudinal ranges, while others showed significant association with particular altitudinal bands (as evidenced by the indicator species analysis). Atlantic Forest mountainous regions are known to harbor one of the richest fauna in the world and have been suffering from several types of environmental impacts, including climate change, which will especially affect taxa living in specialized habitats. The narrow range of tolerance to environmental conditions verified for mountain species, and the fact that many of them are rare and endemic, make the conservation efforts in these areas indispensable.

“…De todas estas características, a que se refere à elevação central da base do cibário é a que mais nitidamente diferencia este gênero de todos os outros neotropicais, no entanto a nova espécie descrita aqui, Inaequalium lundi, junto com Inaequalium maranguapense Pessoa & Rios Velásquez & Py-Daniel, 2005, e provavelmente também margaritatum (Pepinelli, Hamada & Luz, 2006), [ souzalopesi (Coscarón,1980), segundo Coscarón em comunicação pessoal, não possui], apresentam, quanto a esta estrutura, características que possibilitam a formação, temporariamente, de um grupo diferenciado dentro do gênero Inaequalium, que aqui passamos a denominar de grupo maranguapense.…”

“…A maior parte das informações usadas na descrição original foi omitida. Pepinelli, Hamada & Luz, 2006. HernánDez et al (2007, na discussão taxonomica referente a espécie maranguapense, citaram que outras espécies com pupas com quatro filamentos branquiais, presentes em Inaequalium, eram I. margaritatum e I. rappae (salientando ser uma forma atípica para rappae), e que as mesmas podem ser distinguidas pela estrutura dos filamentos branquiais e apresentam série de imagens de diferentes configurações dos filamentos e diferenciações entre as pupas de I. margaritatum e I. rappae.…”

Resumo. É descrita uma nova espécie para o gênero Inaequalium (Inaequalium pujoli sp.n.), procedente do Brasil Central, estado de Goiás, macro-região denominada Chapada dos Veadeiros. É proposta a troca do nome da espécie (I. rappae Py-Daniel & Coscarón), por assumir a característica de nomen nudum, para Inaequalium rapporum Py-Daniel & Coscarón, sendo também apresentados comentários e caracteres para esta espécie. São comparadas e comentadas outras duas espécies, Inaequalium maranguapense Pessoa, Ríos-Velásquez & Py-Daniel e Inaequalium margaritatum Pepinelli, Hamada e Luz. É apresentada uma chave diferenciativa para estas quatro espécies.Simuliidae (Diptera: Culicomorpha) in Brazil XIV - about Inaequalium pujoli sp.n. and related species in the Central WestAbstract. A new species of genus Inaequalium (Inaequalium pujoli sp.n.) is described here, from state of Goiás, a macro region called Chapada dos Veadeiros, Central Brazil. Also is proposed to change the name It is proposed to change the name I. rappae Py-Daniel & Coscarón, because it takes on the characteristic of nomen nudum, to Inaequalium rapporum Py-Daniel & Coscarón. Comments and characters of Inaequalium rapporum are also presented. Two other species, I.maranguapense Pessoa, Ríos-Velásquez & Py-Daniel and I. margaritatum Pepinelli, Hamada & Luz are compared and commented.A key of differentiation to these four species is presented.
