“…Insect vision responds differently to UV, blue, and green spectra, and responses may vary between species, as well as individuals of the same species inhabiting different areas [21]. Silva et al [45] reported that light traps with green and blue LEDs attracted more mosquitoes than other LEDs and incandescent lights. In our study, traps with blue LED attracted more mosquitoes than those with green and red LEDs.…”

Light traps are a common method for attracting and collecting arthropods, including disease vectors such as mosquitoes. Various types of traps have been used to monitor mosquitoes in a forest in Western Thailand. In this study, four Light Emitting Diodes (LED) light sources (UV, blue, green, and red) and two fluorescent lights (white and UV) were used to trap nocturnal adult mosquitoes. These traps were used with light alone and not any additional attractant. The experiment was conducted from 18:00 to 06:00 h. on six consecutive nights, every two months, across dry, wet, and cold seasons. All specimens were first identified by morphological features and subsequently confirmed by using PCR. We collected a total of 873 specimens of 31 species in four genera, Anopheles, Aedes, Culex, and Armigeres. Anopheles harrisoni was the predominant species, followed by Aedes albopictus, Culex brevipalpis, Culex nitropunctatus, and Armigeres (Leicesteria) longipalpis. UV fluorescent light was the most effective light source for capturing forest mosquitoes, followed by UV LED, blue LED, green LED, white fluorescent, and red LED. The optimal times for collection were from 21:00 to 03:00 h in the dry season. Our results demonstrate that appropriate sampling times and light sources should be selected for optimal efficiency in vector surveillance programs.

Understanding mosquito biodiversity in the Atlantic Forest is important for assessing changes in the distribution of mosquito populations, which have been considered predominantly to be sylvatic. An observational study of Culicidae was conducted in a remnant of the Atlantic Forest in the Poço das Antas Biological Reserve, Silva Jardim municipality, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, to evaluate species diversity and the influence of climatic factors (temperature, relative humidity and rainfall) on species distribution. Two types of light trap were used: an automatic CDC trap baited with CO2 and a Shannon trap. Collections were also made using a manual suction tube. Overall, 15 700 Culicidae specimens were collected belonging to two subfamilies, 12 genera and 41 species. The most common species were Coquillettidia chrysonotum, Mansonia titillans and Coquillettidia venezuelensis. Principal component analyses indicated a major association between sampling site six and the species Anopheles albitarsis, Mansonia titilllans, Cq. chrysonotum and Cq. venezuelensis. Furthermore, diversity indices indicated that sampling sites 1, 6 and 4 displayed higher diversity and a more uniform species abundance. Culicidae abundance was positively correlated with temperature. Landscape units exhibited contrasting community compositions of mosquitoes at multiple scales, with the community composition more similar in sites with similar landscape parameters. The importance of constant entomological monitoring is underscored by the diversity of mosquito species in this reserve and their potential role in the transmission of pathogens, combined with intermittent flow of visitors to the area.

“…For example, 450 species of birds were recorded in REGUA and in neighboring areas (Pimentel and Olmos 2011). As far as we know, 59 species of mosquitoes (Silva et al 2014) and at least 570 species of butterflies (Soares et al 2011) have been found there. The most significant aspect of these two protected areas, REGUA and Três Picos State Park, is their status as the richest spots for dragonflies and damselflies in the world, with at least 204 species (see Kompier 2015), surpassing Manu National Park in Madre de Dios province in Peru, the site previously known as the most diverse with 188 species (Paulson 2004; number of species updated by Paulson 2006).…”

Two new Brazilian Protoneurinae damselflies,Forcepsioneurareguasp. nov. (holotype male deposited in DZRJ: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro State, Cachoeiras de Macacu municipality, RPPN Reserva Ecológica de Guapiaçu) andForcepsioneuraserrabonitasp. nov. (holotype male deposited in DZRJ: Brazil, Bahia State, Camacan municipality, RPPNs Serra Bonita) , are described, illustrated and diagnosed based on males and females. The bluish and smallerF.reguasp. nov. has been confused with at least three previously described species, being very similar to the type species ofForcepsioneura,F.garrisoniLencioni, 1999, but lacking a defined tubercle-like process on the posterolateral margin of the median lobe of the prothorax in both sexes, which allows it to be distinguished from all other known species. The shape of the cercus of the male ofF.serrabonitasp. nov. is similar to that ofF.grossiorumMachado, 2001 andF.luciaMachado, 2000, two species with very short ventrobasal process. However, it differs from them mainly by the mediobasal process of the cercus, which is rounded in dorsal view and almost not visible in lateral view. The taxonomic status ofForcepsioneurais discussed and a comparison with the other species of the genus is provided. Based on size, habitat and coloration,Forcepsioneuracan be informally divided into two groups: (1) large, orange-black and montane species, includingF.grossiorum,F.itatiaiae(Santos, 1970),F.luciaandF.serrabonitasp. nov.; (2) small, bluish and lowland species, includingF.garrisoni,F.haerteliMachado, 2001,F.reguasp. nov. andF.sancta(HageninSelys, 1860). Our findings highlight the urgency in directing collecting efforts to unexplored areas, as well as the importance of private preserves that harbor the type localities as guardians of the threatened and diverse Atlantic Forest diversity. Together these two localities surveyed account for more than 210 species of odonates, representing almost 24% of the number of Brazilian species. Brazil has the greatest number of known species of odonates in the world. This study shows that further research is required in order to fully understand the diversity ofForcepsioneura.
