“…In São Paulo State, there are records of nine families, 37 genera and 53 species (Mariano & Polegatto 2011). Thus, the present study, which covers the most important mountainous regions of São Paulo State, recorded a significant portion of the fauna composition of Brazil (80% of families and 49% of genera) and of the state (89% of families and genera).…”

“…In São Paulo, the number of studies on ecology, taxonomy, and biology of Ephemeroptera assemblages are increasing in recent years (e.g., Crisci-Bispo et al 2007;Polegatto & Froehlich 2003;Mariano & Polegatto 2011) and led to the current knowledge of biodiversity in the state. On the other hand, due to the increasing human occupation and exploitation of natural areas, faunal inventories especially those that include both immature and alates are relevant to the establishment of priority areas for biodiversity conservation.…”

ABSTRACT. Diversity of Ephemeroptera (Insecta) of the Serra da Mantiqueira and Serra do Mar, southeastern Brazil. The aim of this study was to inventory the mayfly fauna, based on nymphal and alate stages, in Serra da Mantiqueira and in Serra do Mar, São Paulo State, as well as to present information about habitats used by the genera. Nymphs were collected in several streams and mesohabitats with a Surber sampler and the winged stages with light attraction methods, entomological nets, and Malaise traps. In all, eight families and 33 genera were recorded, representing a very significant portion of the Brazilian fauna (80% of families and 49% of genera). Furthermore, it was possible to identify 11 species, of which two are new records for the state: Tricorythodes santarita Traver and Caenis reissi Malzacher. Despite the high diversity recorded, the accumulation curves presented an ascending form, indicating an increase in the number of genera with additional sampling effort. The high richness found in these areas are in agreement with the high biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest biome and the sampling effort employed, which included the use of different methods, the collection of both nymphs and winged stages, and the sampling of a large area with diverse streams and habitats.

“…In the specific case of the Ephemeroptera, we believe that the lack of data on the characteristics of one life stage or one of the sexes, in the case of the adults, may often result in errors of identification, especially under field conditions, when ecologists, rather than taxonomists identify the specimens. This may result in shortcomings and misinterpretations in many areas of research (Mariano and Polegatto, 2011), given the fundamental need for an adequate classification of organisms (Marques and Lamas, 2006). In some extreme cases, new taxa may be falsely described due to the lack of data on one or other life stage (Falcão et al, 2011).…”

G Model No. of Pages 7 Revista Brasileira de Entomologia xxx (2015) xxx-xxx w w w . r b e n t o m o l o g i a . c o m a b s t r a c tThis study reviewed the data on the Brazilian Ephemeroptera, based on the studies published before July, 2013, estimated the number of species still to be described, and identified which regions of the country have been the subject of least research. More than half the species are known from the description of only one developmental stage, with imagoes being described more frequently than nymphs. The Brazilian Northeast is the region with the weakest database. Body size affected description rates, with a strong tendency for the larger species to be described first. The estimated number of unknown Brazilian species was accentuated by the fact that so few species have been described so far. The steep slope of the asymptote and the considerable confidence interval of the estimate reinforce the conclusion that a large number of species are still to be described. This emphasizes the need for investments in the training of specialists in systematics and ecology for all regions of Brazil to correct these deficiencies, given the role of published papers as a primary source of information, and the fundamental importance of taxonomic knowledge for the development of effective measures for the conservation of ephemeropteran and the aquatic ecosystems they depend on.
