“…In general, there was a low similarity between the diversity studies of Eumeninae. This may be associated to the scarce knowledge about the group in Brazil (FERREIRA et al, 2019), since most of the morphospecies are identified only up to the gender level. Eumeninae generic classification has undergone constant changes and many taxa require modern reviews with phylogenetic foundation (CARPENTER & GARCETE-BARRETT, 2002).…”

“…Wasps show a very close relationship with the phytophysiognomy matrix and can be used to evaluate some environmental variables, indicating the integrity and complexity of the ecosystem in which they are inserted (LOYOLA & MARTINS, 2008). The Neotropical Eumeninae fauna is still little known, indicating the need for more research analyzing this taxon (FERREIRA et al, 2019). Thus, this study aims to carry out an inventory of the Eumeninae community in a seasonal deciduous forest in the Parque Estadual da Mata Seca, Minas Gerais.…”

Eumeninae is the subfamily with the highest number of species among Vespidae family, with more than 3,750 species and 210 genera identified worldwide. Some ecosystems are subsampled, such as the decidual seasonal forest, also known as dry forest. Thus, this study aims to execute the inventory of the Eumeninae community in decidual seasonal forest in the Parque Estadual da Mata Seca, Minas Gerais. The study took place from February to December 2021, executing active search and using malaise traps. A total of 90 individuals, belonging to 30 species, was collected, which characterize this study as the fourth highest list of Eumeninae for Brazil, even with a smaller sampling effort than other similar studies. In this study, 40% of the collected species are rare, having been collected only once. The most abundant species were Pachodynerus brevithorax (Saussure, 1853), Hypalastoroides brasiliensis (Saussure, 1856), Pachymenes ater (Saussure, 1852) and Montezumia petiolata (Saussure, 1855). This research shows how the Neotropical Eumeninae fauna is still little explored, indicating the need for more research to be conducted with this taxon, especially in environments without exploration such as the decidual seasonal forest.
