“…This pattern was also reported in other relatively complete inventories in the Neotropics, showing Hesperiidae as the best represented butterfly group in any well surveyed locality, followed by the Nymphalidae (Brown & Freitas 2000b). However, in short term studies with low sampling effort there has been a clear numerical dominance of Nymphalidae (Motta 2002;Iserhard & Romanowski 2004;Duarte & Almeida 2006;Marchiori & Romanowski 2006), likely due to the fact that they are easily captured and identified in the field. The Hesperiidae, Lycaenidae and Riodinidae, all including many small and inconspicuous species, require more effort to be adequately sampled.…”

“…continuing studies and long-range conservation strategies) even if no threatened species have been recorded in the present study. The entire area shows a unique combination of different habitats and geography that includes deep valleys, expansive mangroves, high mountains and lowland plains, which provide conditions for the presence of a rich and diverse fauna combining elements from Mielke (1996); 17 Brown & Freitas (2002b); 18 Mielke & Casagrande (1998) Mielke et al (2008); 23 Motta (2002); 24 Duarte et al (2010); 25 Monteiro et al (2010).…”

ABSTRACT. Butterflies (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea) of the "Baixada Santista" region, coastal São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. A list with 538 species of butterflies recorded in the Baixada Santista, São Paulo (SE Brazil) is presented. Standard sampling protocols (i.e. with entomological nets) were followed. Baited traps were installed for fruit feeding species. Data from the literature and entomological collections were also considered in the total estimated species richness. The species richness recorded in the Baixada Santista region represents about 16% of the Brazilian butterfly fauna, and 34% of the known butterfly fauna for the state of São Paulo. The present list contains an appreciably higher number of species in comparison to other lists from similar biomes farther south, such as Blumenau in Santa Catarina, and Maquiné in Rio Grande do Sul.

This paper presents a list of species of butterflies (Lepidoptera: Hesperioidea and Papilionoidea) sampled in Porto Mauá municipality (27634'S, 28640'W), Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Sampling was carried out monthly between March 2008 and March 2009. After 204 net-hours of sampling effort, a total of 1,993 individuals from 253 species were recorded. With a single additional expedition, eight new species were added, reaching a total of 261 species recorded in the region of Porto Mauá . These new reports and the species accumulation curves may indicate a much richer fauna. The distribution of richness among butterfly families is compared with other inventories in seasonal semideciduous forest areas in the Atlantic Forest. We also discuss the importance of riparian forests of the Uruguay River as an ecological corridor that enables the maintenance of the butterfly fauna on the southern edge of the Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest Ecoregion. Keywords: Atlantic Forest, connectivity, conservation, seasonal semi-deciduous forest, species richness. IntroductionThe Atlantic Forest is a hotspot of biodiversity Figure 1A). This area was originally covered by a continuous semi-deciduous forest with high biodiversity rates. Nowadays, this ecoregion has the largest area of remaining forest and is home to a large part of the original biota, including several endangered species (Di Bitetti et al. , Ruschel et al. 2007).www.scielo.br/bn http://dx

“…Listas regionais de espécies do grupo são importantes por prover informações sobre diversidade taxonômica, genética e ecológica (Motta 2002): também, através da comparação da ocorrência de espécies em diferentes habitats ou localidades podem ser definidas as formas de manejo mais adequadas (Balmer 2002). Assim, tais listas constituem material fundamental para avaliação e monitoramento ambiental e podem servir para determinar áreas prioritárias para conservação (De Vries et al 1997, Harding et al 1995, Viejo et al 1989.…”

Abstract:To contribute to the knowledge on the composition and distribution of the butterfly fauna of the Southeastern region of Rio Grande do Sul state (RS), five areas at Serra do Sudeste were sampled between April/2003 and January/2004. The species composition of Nymphalidae, Papilionidae and Pieridae was compared with existing records for the contiguous areas at the foot of Serra do Sudeste and the South Coast Plain (Pelotas and surroundings). In a total of 289 net-hours of sampling at Serra do Sudeste, 2.326 individuals in 81 species were recorded: 59 Nymphalidae, 12 Papilionidae and 10 Pieridae. Literature data available for the adjacent areas lists 138 species. Putting both sources together, a total of 152 species are now registered for the Southeast Region of RS: 110 Nymphalidae, 14 Papilionidae and 28 Pieridae. Amongst these species, 14 (9%) occur only in Serra do Sudeste, and 71 (47%) only at the contiguous areas. The results demonstrate the peculiar composition of Serra do Sudeste lepidopterofauna and emphasize the biological importance of this area of Rio Grande do Sul.
