“…: Piezodorus guildinii (Westwod), Euschistus heros (F.), Dichelops furcatus (F.), Edessa meditabunda (F.) and Nezara viridula (L.). The first four species are new records for blackberries in the world (Panizzi, 1997;Bunde et al, 2010;Brennan et al, 2013). Plants at pod formation stage, unripe and ripe fruits are more attractive to stink bugs than posterior stages (Bundy;McPherson, 2000).…”

Information concerning the presence of stink bugs in blackberry (Rubus spp.) in Brazil is sparse. This study aimed to identify the stink bug species associated with blackberry, to establish the daily dynamics and evaluate the fruits damage. The experiment was conducted in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, in blackberry orchard. Presence and evaluations of stink bugs were done weekly through visual and sweeping samplings at different day times. Five species of pentatomids were identified: Piezodorus guildinii, Nezara viridula, Euschistus heros, Dichelops furcatus and Edessa meditabunda. The bugs attack the drupelets producing a dark brown spot and wrinkled berries.

“…However, there is still a lack of knowledge in relation to other taxonomic groups, including terrestrial invertebrates, whose functions can be related to herbivory, nutrient cycling, and pollination processes in terrestrial ecosystems, among others (Medan et al 2011). Among the few published studies, we highlight some insect inventories that include butterflies, beetles and heteropterans (Marchiori and Romanowski 2006;Paz et al 2008Paz et al , 2014Bunde et al 2010;Rosa et al 2011, Silva et al 2012.…”

The temperate and subtropical grassland ecosystems are among the most threatened ecosystems in the world due to habitat loss. This study aimed to make a list of butterfly species present in native grassland fields in the city of Santa Maria, southern Brazil. The sampling field effort was 225 h using entomological nets, from 2009 to 2011. In total, 117 species of butterflies were recorded, distributed in six families and 18 subfamilies. Nymphalidae was the richest family, with 56 species, while Lycaenidae was the least rich family, with six species. Twenty species constitute new records for Santa Maria; while six of those are new records for the Central Depression Region of Rio Grande do Sul. In the face of global and local threats, it is urgent to increase efforts to study the biology and ecology of the grassland communities in order to provide support to biological conservation.

“…Despite its high biodiversity, little is known about invertebrate diversity in the Pampa. Considering that only recent studies focus on non-pest insects, some efforts made to evaluate the diversity of Coleoptera (Da Silva et al 2013), Diptera (Hochmüller et al 2010), Hemiptera (Mendonça Jr. et al 2009;Bunde et al 2010), Hymenoptera (Rosado et al 2012), Orthoptera (Cigliano et al 2000;Wysiecki et al 2000), and Lepidoptera (Krüger and Silva 2003;Romanowski, 2006a, 2006b;Paz et al 2008;Sackis and Morais 2008;Morais et al 2012;Paz et al 2013;Marchiori et al 2014) can be highlighted. Among insect, the butterflies are considered an adequate group for studies evaluating fragmented habitats (see discussion in Bonebrake et al 2010).…”

The Pampa is a biome shared by Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. Despite its high biodiversity, little is known about the invertebrate fauna. The few inventories done so far were conducted outside protected areas, which could result in underestimated real biodiversity. Thus, species inventories from protected areas should be done to serve as reference for conservation. Here we survey the butterflies occurring in the Banhado dos Pachecos Wildlife Refuge, Uruguayan Savanna, Brazil. Sampling was performed between April 2012 and March 2013. After 288 hours of sampling, 1,508 individuals from 113 species were sampled; five new species records for Rio Grande do Sul state and 12 for the Uruguayan Savanna were found. Richness among families was compared to other inventories and butterfly conservation discussed concerning the conversion of grasslands into croplands/pastures. The evidence presented supports that the Pampa is a fragile environment under the pressure of habitat conversion. Biodiversity studies in fragmented areas are needed to provide essential information for conservation programs.
