Impacto dos atropelamentos sobre a herpetofauna da Floresta Atlântica (PR-340, Antonina, Paraná)     & Vinalto Graf

ABSTRACT. Biodiversity of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) and monitoring of the species of Pimplinae and Poemeniinae from Capao da Imbuia, Curitiba, Parana. The ichneumofauna of Capao da Imbuia was studied during three years of capture, using Malaise traps. 114,469 specimens were captured, of which 3,603 belong to 20 subfamilies of ichneumonids. Pimplinae and Poemeniinae in the wood contains 14 genera and 48 species. In the first sample (1978)(1979), 23 species were captured; in the second (1985-) 986),21 species were obtained, 13 of which had been previously captured, with an addition of eight species. And in the last sample (1995)(1996) , 39 species were obtained, of which 17 had not previously been captured. The dominant species, considering the number of individuals, were:

ABSTRACT. Catalog of the Apoidea of the Neotropical Region (Hymenoptera, CoUetidae). I. ParacoUetini. The species ofthe tribe ParacoUetini are presented as the ftrSt part of a commented catalog ofColletidae bees, from the Neotropical Regioo. The geographic distribution, flowers, biological behaviour, taxonomy, type loca1ity and depositary museums are mentioned, bibliographic infonnation are given for each species and a new genus, Actenosigynes, is proposed to Leioproctus (L.) folvoniger Michener, 1989.

Luiz dos Anjos I Vinalto Graf 2 ABSfRACf. RICHNESS OF BIRDS OF SANTA RITA FARM, CAMPOS GERAIS REGION , PALMEIRA COUNTY , PARANÁ, BRAZIL. Two hundred and eighty eight bird species were registered in Santa Rita Farm, east of Paraná State in Brazil (28°18'S,49°48'W), from Februal)' 1990 to Janual)' '1991. Eighty four species were registered in ali 12 months and eighty three were registered once during this period. October was the richest in number of species (220) and Julywas the poorest (137). The naturallandscape ofthe Santa Rita farm is composed of open field with several patches of araucaria forest (from 10 to 40 ha) and some small areas of marshland. Two hundred and eight species occurred only in one of these habitats: 163 in the forest, 35 in the open field and 10 in the marshland. The others often occurred in both forest and open field ; there is a gradient of occurrence between them. Columba speciosa Gmelin, 1789; C. maculosa Temminck, 1813; Dolichonyx oryzivorus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Sporophila melanogaster (Pelzeln, 1870) were new field registers in Parana State. Because of its great number of bird species (some endangered species) and its landscape, composed of well preserved habitats, Santa Rita farm is shown as a strategic area for conservation.

ABSTRACT. THE OCClJRRENCE OF FU COPlMI'LA GAULD lN BR AZIL (HYMENOPTERA, ICHNEUMONIDAE, PIMPLlNAE). Flacopilllpla was described with one species, F. varelae by Gauld (1991) from Costa Rica (only temales, Guanacaste National Park). This genus is recorded for the first time in Brazil and a new species, F sl/lina, is described and the distribution in southeast and south of Brazil is mapped (Minas Gerais: Belo Horizonte; Paraná : Telêmaco Borba, Ponta Grossa, Curitiba, Colombo, Antonina). KEY WORDS . Hymenoptera, lchneumonidae, Pimplinae, Flacopimpla, distribution taxonomy o gênero Flacopimpla e a espécie F. varelae foram descritos por GAULD • (1991) para três fêmeas da ichneumofauna da Costa Rica, coletadas no Parque Nacional Guanacaste. Esta espécie, conforme Gauld, se asseme lha às espécies dos gêneros Zatypota F oerster, 1868, Eruga Townes, 1960 e Acrodactyla Haliday, 1837, por apresentar em comum uma área rômbica no segundo tergito, a parte apical da mediela da asa posterior fortemente arqueada e ovipositor curto. Difere desses gêneros por apresentar nas tíbias posteriores, um sulco longitudinal na superfície interna, sem pêlos e as mandíbulas com o dente superior mu ito longo e curvado para cima. A espécie do Brasil, que se descreve a seguir, apresenta outras características dos Polysphinctini e de Flacopimpla
