“…Pouca informação sobre os esfingídeos de São Paulo encontra-se disponível na literatura. Duarte et al (2008) publicaram a lista mais extensa de esfingídeos para uma localidade deste Estado (Estação Biológica de Boraceia, município de Salesópolis), fruto de coletas realizadas entre 1940 e 2004. Nesta lista, Smerinthinae foi a subfamília com menor número de táxons amostrados, correspondendo a 11% do material coletado (Duarte et al, 2008).…”

“…No Brasil, tem-se coletado adultos desde antes mesmo do sol se pôr completamente até o fim da primeira hora após este evento. Na Estação Biológica de Boraceia, Salesópolis, São Paulo, foram coletados esfingídeos de 1940 a 2004(Duarte et al, 2008) e apenas dois exemplares coletados em 1941 estão depositados na coleção do Departamento de Zoologia da Universidade Federal do Paraná (Mielke & Haxaire, 2013). Em 2008, através da disciplina de graduação "Entomologia de Campo", ministrada pelo professor Dr. Marcelo Duarte da Silva aos alunos da Universidade de São Paulo, foi coletado um macho, que encontra-se na coleção do Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZUSP), ainda outro exemplar macho foi encontrado entre o material dessa expedição que não havia sido montado.…”

“…As amostragens dos saturniídeos foram realizadas seguindo o mesmo plano básico da metodologia empregada em 1948 e 1950. Os saturniídeos foram atraídos com lâmpadas de vapor de mercúrio instaladas em uma das casas-alojamento da EBB (casa dos biologistas sensu Travassos Filho & Camargo 1958; atualmente conhecida como castelinho) que por estar localizado em um ponto elevado, tem sido bastante utilizado para coleta de insetos noturnos (Duarte et al 2008). As paredes brancas do alojamento servem para reforçar a luminosidade e atrair uma quantidade maior de lepidópteros (Travassos Filho & Camargo 1958).…”

This study evaluated and summarized the composition and structure of the saturniid community attracted to light trapping in a remnant of Atlantic Rainforest of the Boraceia Biological Station (EBB), Salesópolis, São Paulo, Brazil. The EBB belongs to Zoological Museum of University of São Paulo (MZUSP) and comprises a 96 ha area located inside the largest Brazilina remananent of the Atlantica Rain Forest. The Saturniidae fauna of this reserve was inventoried based on the specimens deposited at the MZUSP, and it was complemented with 13 months of recently field samplings between 2012 and 2013. Complementary field sampling was based on nocturnal collections of 12 hours along four nights on each of the 13 months. As a result we listed 114 species of the family Saturniidae. Many species were photographed in situ, for illustration of the dorsal and ventral habitus of each species we used the pinned specimens of the collection. Comparisons with other inventories of Saturniidae conducted in different Brazilian localities were performed and demonstrated an elevated number of species in EBB when compared to the data available from other inverntories, from Rio Grande do Sul state, Paraná state and the Savana bioma. Recent field samplings (2012-2013) were compared with the assemblage of saturniids from 25 consecutive months between 1948 and 1950. This comparison demonstrated that the richness and the uniformity of the species recentelly registered (2012-2013) is similar to that from the historical period (1948-1950). Few specimens constituted new record for EBB and other few were sampled exclusively on the whole range of the historical period. The studied area indicated high density of species of Hyleisa Hübner, 1920 with at least 15 species (with three morphospecies) collected, distributed in 1.158 specimens. The results stress the importance of the Serra do Mar Atlatic forest remanent to the conservation of the species of Saturniidae and yet, demonstrate the importance of EBB for the study of insects from the Atlantic Rain Forest. The analysis related to the seasonality and circadian pattern of the recently collected specimens (2012-2013) can be further used to test hypothesis of behavior and biology of the species. The abundance of species showed distinct fluctuation along the year, while some had concentrated distribution, others were broadly sampled along several months. Similarly, some species presented high pics of abundance on restricted periods during the night, while other speces were sampled in several distinct periods. The evaluation of the interchange of species during the year and during the night indicated hight interchanging of species for both cicles, sazonal and cyrcadina, stressing the importance of inventories of Saturniidae with effort along the entire year and along the hole night period. xii The same evaluation also demonstrated that the fluctuation of the abundance of species grouped by subfamilies follow similar and contrasting patters depending on the subfamilies that are being compaired.

With the largest part of diversity in the world absorbed by invertebrates, ignoring invertebrates in biodiversity surveys and monitoring of areas under conservation would give a strongly incomplete image. The poor knowledge of most invertebrate taxa and their enormous diversity limits most surveys to the better-studied groups. Hawkmoths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) are one of the more charismatic and well-known groups among the Lepidoptera and hence a valuable group commonly used in biodiversity research. In this small-scale study, 42 museum specimens of sphingids from Cusuco National Park (Cortés, Honduras) were identified and compared to recent published accounts. This yielded three new country records and, in addition, four new regional records for the park. Some of the additions to the Honduran fauna probably result from recent taxonomic changes. However, the several contributions using a small collection of this well-studied group in an area which has attracted previous research interest, demonstrate the incomplete data availability and the necessity for more rigorous surveying. Several new records concern high altitude species, indicating the data gap in mountains. As elevation is an important determinant of sphingid community structure, sampling across an altitudinal range is recommended. This study also underpins the usefulness of a reference collection-based approach in particular, as many hawkmoth species are identified using subtle diagnostic characters.The size and attractiveness of its representatives have made the hawkmoths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) one of the better studied groups of lepidopterans, with monographs dating M.
