Passiflora coelestis is morphologically and anatomically described from living material as a new species belonging to the section Dysosmia, supersection Stipulata and subgenus and genus Passiflora. The species occurs in Araucaria Moist Forest, a phytophysiognomy of the Atlantic Forest biome. The section has been characterized as one of the most taxonomically complex groups within Passiflora. Passiflora coelestis is related to species within the Dysosmioides group and is similar to P. campanulata, differing mainly in the stipules, petiole, bracts, and corona filaments. The new species is morphologically compared with taxa of the section; moreover, additional anatomic, palynological and molecular data are also discussed with regard to taxonomic classification.
O presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar um levantamento preliminar das espécies de borboletas (Lepidoptera - Rhopalocera) que ocorrem no Jardim Botânico Faxinal do Céu, no distrito de Faxinal do Céu, município de Pinhão, PR (25º54'28.32''S; 51º35'50.84''W). As coletas foram realizadas no período de fevereiro de 2016 a março de 2017 principalmente pelo uso de rede entomológica (puçá). Foram identificadas 128 espécies pertencentes a 6 famílias e 19 subfamílias. Foram encontrados 17 indivíduos identificados pertencentes à família Hesperiidae (podendo ser 17 espécies diferentes) e 4 indivíduos pertencentes a família Lycaenidae. As famílias que apresentaram maior riqueza foram a Nymphalidae (72) e Hesperiidae (16), 55,55% e 12,70% respectivamente. A região estudada apresentou alta diversidade de Lepidoptera, certamente devido as interações ecológicas existentes entre a fauna e flora do local.
