Abstract

Resumo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo principal fornecer uma lista e avaliar a diversidade das espécies de borboletas frugívoras em dois fragmentos de Floresta Estacional Decidual no noroeste do Rio Grande do Sul. As amostragens foram mensais entre junho de 2014 a março de 2015. Para a captura das borboletas foram utilizadas armadilhas com isca atrativa à base de banana fermentada em caldo de cana. Após um esforço amostral de 4800 horas, foram amostrados 760 indivíduos distribuídos em 49 espécies de borboletas. Satyrinae foi a subfamília com maior riqueza e abundância de espécies. Hypothyris euclea laphria (Doubleday) representou um novo registro para o estado. A abundância de borboletas apresentou-se de forma heterogênea em ambos os fragmentos no decorrer dos meses amostrados. Apesar de ser um inventariamento de curto prazo, a riqueza de borboletas foi bastante representativa no noroeste do Rio Grande do Sul. Recomenda-se intensificar estudos semelhantes, para prover informações no intuito de conservação dos hábitats.

Butterflies from Atlantic Forest fragments in northwest of Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

Abstract. This study aimed to provide a list and evaluate the diversity of species of fruit-feeding butterflies in two fragments of Decidual Seasonal Forest in the northwest of Rio Grande do Sul. Samples were collected monthly, between June 2014 and March 2015. Traps with attractive baits of fermented banana in sugar cane juice were used to capture the butterflies. After a 4800 hours sampling effort, 760 butterflies were sampled and distributed into 49 species. Satyrinae was the family with the greatest wealth and abundance of species. Hypothyris euclea laphria (Doubleday) represented a new registry for the state. The abundance of butterflies was heterogeneous in both fragments during the months sampled. Despite being a short-term inventory, butterfly richness was quite representative in the northwest of Rio Grande do Sul. It is recommended to intensify similar studies to provide information for the conservation of habitats.
