As borboletas Hesperiidae (Lepidoptera, Hesperioidea) do Distrito Federal, Brasil

Abstract

ABSTRACT. The skippers (Lepidoptera, Hesperioidea, Hesperiidae) of the Distrito Federal, Brazil. An updated list containing 335 species of skippers (Hesperiidae) found in the Distrito Federal (central Brazil), including data obtained from the literature, from several entomological collections, and from collecting of the authors, is presented. Species with presumed distribution in the region are not included. It is presented too, a supplementary list with 32 endemic species occuring in the Cerrado vegetation, from which 27 were found in the Distrito Federal.

Butterflies (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea) of the "Baixada Santista" region, coastal São Paulo, southeastern Brazil

“…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).…”

Borboletas (Papilionoidea e Hesperioidea) de Guarapuava e arredores, Paraná, Brasil: um inventário com base em 63 anos de registros

“…Espécies com ocorrência presumível não foram consideradas, como em Emery et al (2006) e Mielke et al (2008).…”

“…Assim como Mielke et al (2008) proporam dados de Hesperiidae endêmicos do Cerrado, indicamos aqui as espécies de Hesperioidea e Papilionoidea características de Campo Natural, com o intuito de subsidiar medidas conservacionistas, principalmente no estabelecimento de novas unidades de conservação permanentes que protejam essa vegetação característica, e por consequência sua fauna.…”

“…Dice similarity index was chosen because it showed to be more appropriate when samples present differences on sampling effort (Wolda 1981). Published species lists for other ecosystems were used for comparison, as follows: Cerrado (Brown Jr. 1987;Mielke et al 2008), Pampas (Biezanko & Freitas 1938;Biezanko 1963;Canals 2000;Marchiori & Romanowski 2006a;Nuñez-Bustos 2007;Rosa et al 2011; and additional data from specimens deposited in the DZUP) and Atlantic Forest (Mielke 1968;Mielke & Casagrande 1997;Iserhard & Romanowski 2004;Carneiro et al 2008;Nuñez-Bustos 2009;Francini et al 2011). These localities were selected because they represent the typical fauna of the ecosystem where they are located, without the influence from neighboring ecosystems.…”

“…Krüger & Silva 2003;Marchiori & Romanowski 2006a;Marchiori & Romanowski 2006b;Paz et al 2008;Rosa et al 2011), although grassland habitats have also been sampled in other biomes, such as Mata Atlântica (Iserhard et al 2010;Dolibaina et al 2011;Pedrotti et al 2011), Pantanal (Brown 1987), Cerrado (Brown & Mielke 1967a;Brown & Mielke 1967b;Brown 1987;Mielke et al 2008), and Caatinga (Nobre et al 2008). Nevertheless, studies frequently do not include the Hesperioidea (e.g.…”
