Abstract

Besouros dinastíneos foram coletados em Querari, Município de São Gabriel da Cachoeira, região do alto rio Negro, Estado do Amazonas, de abril a maio de 1993. Utilizaram-se lâmpadas de luz mista de mercúrio de 250 W, BL e BLB, sobre um lençol branco, em 33 noites de coletas de 12 horas consecutivas. Foram coletados 76 indivíduos de 20 espécies e 10 gêneros. A tribo Cyclocephalini foi a mais representada (10 espécies), seguida por Phileurini (4 spp.), Oryctini (3 spp.), Dynastini (2 spp.) e Pentodontini (1sp.). Dessas, 7 espécies são registradas pela primeira vez para o Amazonas, 5 delas para o Brasil.

Synopsis of the cyclocephaline scarab beetles (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Dynastinae)

“…This striking, relatively large cyclocephaline occurs in lowland forests in Brazil, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, Suriname, and possibly Colombia (Burmeister 1847, Harold 1869b, Arrow 1937b, Blackwelder 1944, Endrődi 1966, 1985a, Endrődi and Dechambre 1976, Lachaume 1992, Couturier and Kahn 1992, Andreazze 2001, Andreazze and da Silva Motta 2002, Touroult et al 2010, Ponchel 2011, Saltin and Ratcliffe 2012, Ratcliffe et al 2015) (Fig. 60).…”

“…Harposceles paradoxus males have elongated, arcuate protibia with the protibial spurs fused to the base of the tibia. Females are much less common than male specimens in collections, and males are readily attracted to lights at night, especially between midnight and 4 am (Andreazze 2001, Andreazze and da Silva Motta 2002, Touroult et al 2010, Saltin and Ratcliffe 2012). The immature stages of H. paradoxus are associated with the palms Astrocaryum chonta Mart.…”

“…The exceptionally diverse scarab beetles of the genus Cyclocephala Dejean, 1821 (Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae: Cyclocephalini) sum up to over 350 species ( Ratcliffe and Cave 2009 ), many of which are found in Brazil (Blackwelder 1944; Dechambre 1980 ; Endrödi 1985 ; Ratcliffe 1992 ; Andreazze 2001 ; Andreazze and Motta 2002 ; Ratcliffe 2008 ). Most adult Cyclocephala are phototactic and night-active ( Ratcliffe and Cave 2009 ).…”
