“…The results from this short-term multidisciplinary expedition (see other scientific results in Bastos et al 2016 , Neto et al 2016 , Dantas and Hamada 2017 , Fraga et al 2017 , Lourenço 2017 , Raimundi et al 2017 , and the documentary associated with the expedition at http://www.grifafilmes.com/en/new-species ) highlight our poor knowledge of the Brazilian Guiana Shield highlands region. Our study can be used as primary data source for future biodiversity, biogeography, and conservation assessments that consider Guiana Shield highlands on a larger scale.…”

The Brazilian mountain ranges from the Guiana Shield highlands are largely unexplored, with an understudied herpetofauna. Here the amphibian and reptile species diversity of the remote Serra da Mocidade mountain range, located in extreme northern Brazil, is reported upon, and biogeographical affinities and taxonomic highlights are discussed. A 22-days expedition to this mountain range was undertaken during which specimens were sampled at four distinct altitudinal levels (600, 960, 1,060 and 1,365 m above sea level) using six complementary methods. Specimens were identified through an integrated approach that considered morphological, bioacoustical, and molecular analyses. Fifty-one species (23 amphibians and 28 reptiles) were found, a comparable richness to other mountain ranges in the region. The recorded assemblage showed a mixed compositional influence from assemblages typical of other mountain ranges and lowland forest habitats in the region. Most of the taxa occupying the Serra da Mocidade mountain range are typical of the Guiana Shield or widely distributed in the Amazon. Extensions of known distribution ranges and candidate undescribed taxa are also recorded. This is the first herpetofaunal expedition that accessed the higher altitudinal levels of this mountain range, contributing to the basic knowledge of these groups in remote areas.

“…We found 74 Ephemeroptera species in Roraima State through literature review, including members of Baetidae, Caenidae, Euthyplociidae, Leptohyphidae, Leptophlebiidae and Oligoneuriidae families (Gama neto & Passos 2017;raimundi et al 2017;santos et al 2017). In our study, besides these families, we found the family Coryphoridae which is recorded for the first time in Roraima.…”

“…In Brazil, there are 447 species distributed among 83 genera and 10 families: Caenidae, Euthyplociidae, Leptohyphidae, Melanemerellidae, Oligoneuriidae, Coryphoridae, Ephemeridae, Polymitarcyidae, Baetidae, and Leptophlebiidae (Salles et al 2023). Leptophlebiidae Banks, 1900 is a cosmopolitan and morphologically diverse family (Raimundi et al 2017), ranking as the second most diverse family in the Neotropical region within the order Ephemeroptera (Barber-James et al 2013, Domínguez & Dos-Santos 2014. This family comprises seven subfamilies: Castanophlebiinae, Habrophlebinae, Leptophlebiinae, Terpidinae, Atalophlebiinae, Choroterpinae, and Hagenulinae (Monjardim et al 2020).…”

Leptophlebiidae is the second most diverse family within Ephemeroptera, with species distributed across various States in Brazil, but with gaps in distribution records in others. Currently, nine species of Leptophlebiidae are recorded for the state of Piauí. Based on this information gap, the objective of this study was to present an updated species list of the family Leptophlebiidae new occurrence records and distributional sites for the state of Piauí, Brazil. By analyzing 447 specimens, we have significantly expanded our knowledge about the distribution of Leptophlebiidae species in the state of Piauí, increasing the recorded species from nine to 17. We have also added new occurrence records for six species and, for the first time, documented the presence of four genera. It is important to highlight that there is still an extensive area within the Cerrado and Brazilian semiarid regions where the occurrence of Ephemeroptera is unknown, confirming that the diversity in this area is underestimated and that knowledge of Ephemeroptera species and their distributions can expand with increased sampling efforts in the coming years, reducing the Linnean and Wallacean shortfall regarding this group. Our results also demonstrate the urgent need for inventories in the southern part of the state of Piauí, particularly in the sub-basins of the middle and upper Parnaíba river, which are considered suitable for monoculture expansion in Brazil.
