Imaturos de Simuliidae (Diptera, Nematocera) e caracterização de seus criadouros no Parque Estadual Intervales, SP, Brasil

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Immature stages of Simuliidae (Diptera, Nematocera) and characterization of its habitats in the Parque Estadual Intervales, SP, Brazil. Larvae and pupae of Simuliidae species living in Parque Estadual Intervales streams were collected in two periods (August/2001 and February/2002) in six streams of the Rio Ribeira basin segment inside the biological reserve. Thirteen species were identified. S. nogueirai and S. subclavibranchium were the most frequent and abundant species. The Simuliidae abundance was higher in the wet season (February/2002) and in organic substrates (leaves, woods, stems).

Species richness and distribution of blackflies (Diptera: Simuliidae) in the Chapada Diamantina region, Bahia, Brazil

“…Eight species was the maximum richness recorded for any stream, this one located in Mucugê. This is a high number of species relative to other studies conducted in Brazil (Hamada et al 2002, Pepinelli et al 2005.…”

“…The sampled larvae and most pupae were fi xed in 95% ethanol, while mature pupae that were close to emergence were isolated in plastic tubes containing a small piece of humid fi lter paper in order to obtain adults ; more details of these procedures can be found in Pepinelli et al 2005). Specimens collected were identifi ed to the species level and will be deposited in the collection of the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA).…”

Distribuição espacial e variação temporal da composição de espécies de borrachudos (Diptera: Simuliidae) em uma microbacia situada no norte do Paraná

“…subpallidum 84 39 15 345 619 55 - Pepinelli et al (2005), em criadouros de águas turbulentas. Ao contrário do observado no presente estudo, Figueiró et al (2006) verifi caram a associação de S. incrustatum com criadouros pequenos e de baixa vazão.…”

“…No Brasil, a maior parte dos trabalhos que contribuem para o conhecimento da fauna e da ecologia de simulídeos concentra-se, principalmente, no Sudeste, com destaque para o estado de São Paulo (Araújo-Coutinho et al 1988, Pepinelli et al 2003, Pepinelli et al 2005, Pepinelli et al 2006, no Sul, principalmente no Rio Grande do Sul (Strieder 2002, 2004, e na Região Amazônica (Hamada & McCreadie 1999, Hamada & Grillet 2001, Hamada et al 2002. No Paraná, os estudos voltados à fauna de simulídeos restringem-se praticamente à região metropolitana de Curitiba e à planície litorânea (Lozovei et al 1989, 2004, Dellome Filho 1991, Cunha et al 1998, com registros parcos ou inexistentes nas demais regiões do estado.…”

Simulium (Inaequalium) marins, a new species of black fly (Diptera: Simuliidae) from inselbergs in Brazil

“…Species in the subgenus S. (Inaequalium) are typically associated with pristine mountain streams and have been recorded at a wide range of altitudes (Pepinelli et al 2005b(Pepinelli et al , 2006. The two most recently described species were collected from high-altitude streams associated with inselbergs in Chapada Diamantina National Park (Pepinelli et al 2006) and Pico da Neblina National Park (Py-Daniel & Barbosa 2007).…”
