Contribuição de ambientes antrópicos como habitats para formigas de solo de Floresta Estacional Decidual no Sul do Brasil

Resumo. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a contribuição de dois ambientes antrópicos (monocultura de Eucalyptus e pastagem de bovinos) como habitats para espécies de formigas edáficas de Floresta Estacional Decidual (mata nativa). Foram realizadas coletas semanais entre outubro de 2009 e março de 2010 utilizando armadilhas de solo do tipo Pitfall, no município de Santa Cruz do Sul, RS, Brasil. Duas hipóteses foram testadas: (1) a diversidade de formigas é maior na mata nativa em relação a pastagem de bovinos e a monocultura de Eucalyptus; (2) ambientes florestais (mata nativa e monocultura de Eucalyptus) apresentam assembleias de formigas mais similares entre si do que com ambientes abertos (pastagem de bovinos). Foi observado 930 espécimes de formigas, distribuídas em seis subfamílias, 17 gêneros e 28 espécies. As curvas geradas pelos estimadores de espécies indicam que a amostragem foi suficiente. A mata nativa foi mais rica que as outras fitofisionomias, corroborando com a hipótese (1). Embora a pastagem de bovinos tenha sido estatisticamente mais semelhante com a monocultura de Eucalyptus, possivelmente por serem ambientes mais impactados que a mata nativa, houve um alto compartilhamento de espécies entre os ambientes florestais. Esses resultados demonstram a importância da preservação de ambientes naturais como repositórios da mirmecofauna. Contribution of anthropogenic environments as habitats for soil ant from Deciduous Seasonal Forest in Southern Brazil Abstract. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of two anthropic environments (Eucalyptus monoculture and cattle pasture) as habitats for edaphic ant species of Deciduous Seasonal Forest (native forest). Weekly collections were conducted between October 2009 and March 2010 using Pitfall traps, in the municipality of Santa Cruz do Sul, RS, Brazil. Two hypotheses were tested: (1) the diversity of ants is greater in the native forest in relation to cattle pasture and a monoculture of eucalyptus; (2) forest environments (native forest and Eucalyptus monoculture) present ant mounts more similar to each other and with open environments (pasture area). It was observed 930 occurrences of ants, distributed in six subfamilies, 17 genera and 28 species. Curves generated by species estimators indicate that sampling was sufficient. The native forest was richer than the other phytophysiognomies, corroborating with the hypothesis (1). Although the pasture area has been established statistically with the Eucalyptus monoculture, possibly for being environments more impacted than the native forest, there was a high species sharing among the forest environments. These results demonstrate the importance of the preservation of natural environments as repositories of ant fauna

Boletín oficial de la provincia de Santander: Número 15 - 1861 Febrero 04

Aricoris Westwood, 1851 é um gênero Neotropical cujas larvas são mirmecófilas e que até o presente momento é constituído por 27 espécies. Dentro do gênero, o grupo constantius é representado por borboletas de médio a pequeno porte, de coloração marrom e facilmente confundidas com Satyrinae (Nymphalidae). Por formarem um complexo de espécies crípticas, apresentam uma história taxonômica confusa e tortuosa. Dessa maneira, aqui é proposta uma revisão taxonômica com abordagem integrativa, utilizando-se um gene mitocondrial (citocromo c oxidase subunidade I -COI) aliado a análise morfológica. O complexo constantius é recuperado como uma linhagem monofilética constituída de seis espécies: A. constantius (Fabricius, 1793), A. monotona (Stichel, 1910), A. tutana (Godart, [1824]), A. sp. 1 sp. nov. (Brasil: Distrito Federal, Goiás, Minas Gerais, São Paulo), A. sp. 2 sp. nov. (Brasil: Distrito Federal, Mato Grosso do Sul e Paraná) e A. sp. 3 sp. nov. (Brasil: Bahia e Minas Gerais). As espécies novas aqui descritas eram tratadas até então como A. tutana.Os resultados moleculares corroboram com os caracteres morfológicos. Neótipos são designados para Papilio constantius Fabricius, 1793 e Erycina tutana Godart, [1824], cujos tipos foram perdidos. Todas as espécies podem ser identificadas através de uma combinação de características de padrão alar e genitálias. Para auxiliar na identificação destas espécies, foram elaboradas diagnoses, ilustrações dos caracteres diagnósticos e uma chave de identificação. Os indivíduos adultos apresentam óleo em suas asas, indicando hábitos afitófagos no estágio larval. Além disso, A. constantius foi observada na natureza se alimentando de honeydew de hemípteros atendentes de formigas. Esse trabalho contribui com o conhecimento de Riodinidae, uma das famílias de borboletas menos estudadas, e ilustra a necessidade de uma abordagem integrativa na taxonomia deste grupo.Aricoris Westwood, 1851 is a Neotropical genus whose larvae are myrmecophilous and, until the present moment, is constituted of 27 species. Within the genus, the group constantius is represented by medium to small butterflies of brown color and easily confused with Satyrinae (Nymphalidae). Because these butterflies form a complex of cryptic species, they present a confusing and tortuous taxonomic history. Thus, a taxonomic revision with an integrative approach is proposed herein, using a mitochondrial gene (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I – COI) allied to the morphological analysis. The complex constantius is recovered as a monophyletic lineage consisting of six species: A. constantius (Fabricius, 1793), A. monotona (Stichel, 1910), A. tutana (Godart, [1824]), A. sp. 1 sp. nov. (Brazil: Distrito Federal, Goiás, Minas Gerais and São Paulo), A. sp. 2 sp. nov. (Brazil: Distrito Federal, Mato Grosso do Sul and Paraná) e A. sp. 3 sp. nov. (Brazil: Bahia and Minas Gerais). The new species described herin were previously treated as A. tutana. The molecular results corroborate with the morphological characters. Neotypes are assigned to Papilio constantius Fabricius, 1793and Erycina tutana Godart, [1824], whose types were lost. All species can be identified through a combination of characteristics in the wing pattern and of genitalia. To assist in the identification of these species, diagnoses, illustrations of the diagnostic characters and an identification key were elaborated. Adult individuals have greasy in their wings, indicating aphytophagy in the larval stage. Furthermore, A. constantius was observed in nature feeding on honeydew produced by ant-tended Hemiptera. This work contributes to the knowledge of Riodinidae, one of the less studied butterfly families, and illustrates the need for an integrative approach in the taxonomy of this group

The Chrysidoidea Wasps (Hymenoptera, Aculeata) in Conventional Coffee Crops and Agroforestry Systems in Southeastern Brazil

Agroforestry systems represent the integration of agricultural crops with native vegetation. These systems are of great importance to minimize the agricultural impact in the land through intercropping of these vegetations. Despite of the importance of Chrysidoidea as parasitoids wasps associated with different groups of insects, there is no study comparing the assemblages of these hymenopterans in conventional and agroforestry systems in Brazil. The “Pontal do Paranapanema”, located in the extreme west of the state of São Paulo (Brazil), has historically been occupied by coffee crops and some small areas of agroforestry systems. Therefore, this study aimed to verify the abundance and composition of Chrysidoidea wasp fauna in different conventional coffee crops and agroforestry systems located in this region. To do so, we collected in six different localities in the “Pontal do Paranapanema” using a Malaise trap in each locality with collections occurring monthly between June 2011 and July 2012. A total of 3,623 Chrysidoidea specimens of three families were collected: Bethylidae, with four genera and a total of 3,396 individuals, representing 93.73% of the total collected; Chrysididae with 11 genera and 151 individuals (4.16%), and Dryinidae with five genera and 76 individuals (2.09%). In terms of abundance, the agroforestry was responsible for most of the individuals collected (n = 2029), followed by the conventional systems with 1,406 individuals and the transitional with 188. The most abundant genera were Epyris and Dissomphalus, responsible for about 92% of the total of Chrysidoidea collected. Most of the genera of Chrysididae were collected in the conventional systems alone or in both conventional and agroforestry systems. For Bethylidae and Dryinidae, no genera were found exclusively in the conventional system. It is expected that the structural complexity of each one of the different ecosystems impact directly in the fauna of Chrysidoidea parasitoids associated

Cienc. 32 (124): 432. Type material. According to the original description, Lignyostola crinisus var. bicolor Mabille & Boullet, 1919 was apparently described based on two females from Brazil and Colombia in the MNHN, six males and six females from Suriname and French Guiana in the Boullet collection, and six unsexed specimens from French Guiana and Suriname in the Mabille collection, although it is not clear if those figures correspond to a mixed lot, including both “typical” crinisus and var. bicolor. However, no syntypes of L. crinisus var. bicolor were found in the MNHN collection, where the Mabille and Boullet material is housed (R. Rougerie, pers. comm.). On the other hand, there is a male specimen, clearly referable to bicolor, in NHMUK, which was part of Mabille’s collection and was later (in 1923) acquired by René Oberthür and afterwards went to the NHMUK in 1931. This male bears a handwritten label in Mabille’s handwriting reading “ var. bicolor / Mab. et B.” and another stating “crinisus / var. / Santarem”, and was regarded by Evans (1952: 28) as a “type”. Aiming to establish the correct identity of the species, this male specimen is hereby designated as the lectotype of Lignyostola crinisus var. bicolor and the following labels will be attached: / Lectotypus / Lectotypus Lignyostola crinisus var. bicolor Mabille & Boullet, 1919 Siewert, Lemes, Mielke & Casagrande det. 2020/. Diagnosis. FW length: males 23–25 mm (n=15) and females 25–26 mm (n=2). Males of Augiades vespasius bicolor have a similar HW pattern to that of A. crinisus, but the hyaline spots on the FW are present in the latter and absent in A. v. bicolor. Other genitalic characters that differentiate both species are described in the diagnosis of A. crinisus. Females of A. v. bicolor have VHW with yellow-orange discal and postdiscal area with remnants of a brown band in the postdiscal area, different to the other Augiades. Distribution. Augiades vespasius bicolor occurs in Amazonia, with records from French Guiana, Surinam, Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, and North Brazil (Fig. 5). Evans (1952) cites a doubtful location for this subspecies in Pernambuco (Brazil) which we did not include in the map. Taxonomic discussion. After its description, Evans (1952: 28) interpreted Lignyostola crinisus var. bicolor Mabille & Boullet, 1919 as a subspecies of Augiades epimethea. The male genitalic morphology of A. v. bicolor (Fig. 3G–I) is most similar to A. v. vespasius (Fig. 3D–F), and therefore we maintain the subspecific status of this taxon. Examined material.
