Presença de alcalóides β-carbolínicos no Rami ou Hami (Bebida de índio)

Abstract

high ambient humidity, was brought to Piracicaba, São Paulo, where it was examined. Kept in the laboratory, in an ambient with a relative humidity level varying from 50 to 70%, the psocids disappeared after a period of 30 to 45 days and the Suidasia pontifica population was much reduced. This observation for the mite species is consistent with its Astigmatic! nature, its water balance being essentially dependent on the relative humidity of the environment (or the atmosphere inside the package). SUMMARYTwo insect and two mite species are reported from dried and salted fish ("pirarucu", Arapaima gigas Cuvier) in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, namely: Liposcelis bostrychophilus Badonnel (Insecta, Psocidae) and the parasite of its eggs, Alaptus globosicornis Girault (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Mymaridae); and, Suidasia pontofica Oudemans (Acari, Astigmata, Saproglyphidae) and Blattisocius keegani Fox (Acari, Mesostigmata, Ascidae).
