Borboletas (Lepidoptera: Hesperioidea e Papilionoidea) de uma área de Semiárido na região nordeste do Brasil.

Abstract

O Semiárido brasileiro corresponde, praticamente, aos limites do bioma Caatinga, sendo uma das regiões com menor número de unidades de conservação e com maior deficiência em estudos da biodiversidade de borboletas. Sendo assim, inventários visando contribuir para o conhecimento da diversidade local são extremamente necessários e urgentes. No presente estudo, uma lista das espécies de borboletas da Serra da Fumaça (Pindobaçu, Bahia, Brasil), foi elaborada baseada em amostragens mensais realizadas no período de Abril a Outubro de 2011, com duração de dois dias. Foram utilizadas rede entomológica e armadilhas com iscas de banana fermentada em caldo-de-cana. Em um total de 1.295 horas de amostragem (97 horas de captura com rede entomológica e 1.198 horas com armadilhas) foram registrados 756 indivíduos de 121 espécies, das quais dezessete são novos registros para o Semiárido e quatro, exclusivamente, para o estado da Bahia.
 List of Butterflies Species (Lepidoptera: Hesperioidea and Papilionoidea) in a Northeastern Brazilian Semiarid Area
 Abstract. The Brazilian Semiarid region practically corresponds to the Caatinga biome boundary, being one of the regions with lowest number of conservations unities and greater deficiency in butterflies’ biodiversity studies. Therefore, inventories in order to contribute to knowledge of local diversity are extremely necessary and urgent. In the present study, a list of butterflies’ species from Serra da Fumaça (municipality of Pindobaçu, state of Bahia, Brazil) was developed based on monthly sampling carried out from April to October 2011, lasting two days. The methods used were active capture with entomological nets and traps baited of fermented banana with juice sugar cane. In a total of 1,295 hours of sampling (97 hours of capture with entomological nets and 1,198 hours with traps) were registered 756 individuals of 121 species, of which seventeen are new records for the Semiarid region and four, exclusively, to state of Bahia.

Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea) of the Private Reserve of Natural Heritage Fazenda Lontra/Saudade, Itanagra, Northern Coast of Bahia, Brazil

“…Danaini (Danainae) is represented by two widespread species, previously mentioned for Bahia by Zacca et al (2011) in the Atlantic Forest and Zacca & Bravo (2012), Lima & Zacca (2014) in the biome Caatinga. Ithomiini (Danainae) is represented by 7 species, same number recorded by Kesselring & Ebert (1982), and includes common species which may be found throughout the year, for example, Mechanitis lysimnia nesaea Hü bner, [1820] and Mechanitis polymnia casabranca Haensch, 1905.…”

“…However, important areas of the biome Caatinga have been studied in the last years, mainly in Pernambuco (PE) and Bahia (BA). The Catimbau National Park (PE) (Nobre et al 2008); the Ecological Park João Vasconcelos Sobrinho (PE), "Brejo de Altitude" enclave of Atlantic Forest inserted in the semi-arid (Paluch et al 2011); northern portion of the ''Chapada Diamantina'' (BA) (Zacca & Bravo 2012) and the ''Serra da Fumac¸a'' (BA) (Lima & Zacca 2014), together represent a significant inventory of butterflies for the Brazilian semi-arid region.…”

“…This is, therefore, a new record for the Quadrilátero Ferrífero. Panoquina peraea (Hewitson, 1866), previously known to occurs only in the states of Rio de Janeiro (Mielke & Casagrande, 2002) and Bahia (Lima & Zacca, 2014), is a new record for Minas Gerais.…”

Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) of an urban park in northeastern Brazil

“…Duarte Jr. et al 2001, Vasconcelos et al 2009, Zacca et al 2011, Zacca & Bravo 2012, very few comprehensive inventories have been published for northeastern Brazil. Examples of recently published well-sampled lists for the region includes those of Nobre et al (2008 and Lima & Zacca (2014) for areas of semi-arid "Caatinga" and the inventories for an altitudinal and coastal Atlantic Forest (Paluch et al 2011 and2016, respectively).…”
