Cerambycidae (Insecta: Coleoptera) of the Parque Natural Municipal de Porto Velho, Rondônia, Western Amazon, Brazil

Abstract: Cerambycidae is one of the largest families of beetles and it is estimated that there are about 25,000 species of longhorned beetles in the world. However, little is known about the distribution of many species in some regions, including the Amazon. The longhorned beetles are indispensable in the ecological chain, contributing mostly to the recycling of dead wood in forest. The present study is an inventory of the Cerambycidae of the Parque Natural Municipal de Porto Velho, Rondônia, Brazil. Insects were sampl… Show more

“…In the present study, 13 genera and 19 species were collected in the cerrado sensu stricto, an area with the characteristic phytophysiognomy of the Cerrado biome. The diversity found in this study was low in comparison to other studies that have been done with the family in other biomes (Maia et al 2003, Souza & Silva 2012, Ferreira & Rocha 2015, Monné & Monné 2017. A possible explanation for the low diversity found in the study, since more than 800 species are reported for the biome, is that we use only one type of trap.…”

“…There are hundreds of papers published in Brazil on the Cerambycidae family, addressing topics such as species diversity (Maia et al 2003, Napp & Monné 2006, Souza & Silva 2012, genera review , species seasonality (Marinoni & Ganho 2003), and ecological and behavioral aspects (Machado et al 2006, Lemes et al 2011. Despite some studies in the Goiás region (Canettieri & Garcia 2000) and in RPPN Santuário do Caraça, Minas Gerais (Monné & Monné 2017), few studies have been carried out in Central Brazil within the Cerrado biome.…”

“…Embora novos registros de ocorrência desses insetos sejam publicados frequentemente (BARRETO et al, 2013;GALILEO et al, 2014;MONNÉ et al, 2012MONNÉ et al, , 2009bRODRIGUES et al, 2010;SOUZA;, dentre outros, neste estudo foram registradas mais oito espécies desconhecidas na região norte do estado. Isto sugere que ainda pouco se conhece sobre a diversidade desses insetos e que se encontra ameaçada pelo elevado grau de degradação ambiental que vem sofrendo.…”

“…Martins, 1976 This species was described from Brazil (Pará). It occurs in Ecuador, Peru, Suriname, Guyana, French Guiana, and Brazil (Amazonas, Rondônia, Pará, and Mato Grosso) (BEZARK et al 2011;SOUZA & SILVA 2012;MONNÉ 2014a). The records from the states of eastern Brazil correspond to A. punctilla Martins & Santos-Silva, 2010. Optomerus bispeculifer (White, 1855) This species was described and was known only from Brazil (Mato Grosso) (MONNÉ 2014a This species was described from Brazil (Pará) and occurs in the states of Amazonas, Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Goiás, Bahia, Espírito Santo, and Rio de Janeiro.…”
