O material estudado foi obtido de coleções entomológicas brasileiras e de coletas com utilização de lençol branco iluminado com lâmpada de luz mista de mercúrio. Cinqüenta e sete espécies foram registradas pela primeira vez no estado do Maranhão, destas 14 são novos registros para o Nordeste brasileiro. As quatro espécies de Isognathus (/. allamandae, I. caricae carícae, /. menechus e I. scyron) listadas para o estado foram caracterizadas quanto ao padrão de coloração e, pela primeira vez, quanto morfologia das genitálias. São apresentadas chaves dicotômicas baseadas no padrão de coloração e nas genitálias. ABSTRACT A sphinx moth survey was carried out in the state of Maranhão with morphological characterization of the species belonging to genus Isognathus Felder & Felder, 1862, which were found in this state. The studied material was acquired from nacional entomological collections as well as through captures by using a white cloth and a 250-watt mixed mercury-tungstan vapor lightbuib. Fifty-seven (57) species were recorded for the first time in the state of Maranhão, of these 14 are new records for the Brazilian northeast. The four Isognathus species

Prof. Moraes Rego, s/n, Cidade Universitária, 50670-901, Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil. E-mail:[email protected] ABSTRACT: The caatinga, a thorn-shrub succulent savannah, is located in Northeastern Brazil and characterized by a short and irregular rainy season and a severe dry season. Insects are only abundant during the rainy months, displaying a strong seasonal pat- tern. Here we present data from a yearlong Sphingidae survey undertaken in the reserve Estação Ecológica do Seridó, located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Hawkmoths were collected once a month during two subsequent new moon nights, between 18.00h and 05.00h, attracted with a 160-watt mercury vapor light. A total of 593 specimens belonging to 20 species and 14 genera were col- lected. Neogene dynaeus, Callionima grisescens, and Hyles euphorbiarum were the most abundant species, together comprising up to 82.2% of the total number of specimens collected. These frequent species are residents of the caatinga of Rio Grande do Norte. The rare Sphingidae in this study, Pseudosphinx tetrio, Isognathus australis, and Cocytius antaeus, are migratory species for the caatinga.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. This study evaluated the seasonality of Sphingidae spp. in two areas of savannah, in the eastern Brazilian Amazon, sampled for one year (June, 2014 through May, 2015) with the aid of Pennsylvania light traps placed at four sampling points. Data on fauna were obtained through the following parameters: abundance (N), richness (S), composition, Shannon diversity and uniformity indices (H’ and U’), and the Berger-Parker (BP) dominance index. Richness estimates were calculated using Bootstrap, Chao1, ACE, Jackknife 1, and Jackknife2 estimators. The Pearson correlation was also used to analyze the effect of climatic variables such as rainfall, temperature, and relative humidity on richness and abundance. The result for the parameters analyzed during the entire sampling period was N= 374, S= 34, H’= 2.59, U= 0.733 and BP= 0.235. The estimation of richness showed that between 63% and 87% of expected species were collected (Bootstrap estimated 39 species and Chao1 estimated 54). The most representative species were: Isognathus caricae (Linnaeus, 1758) (N= 88), Enyo lugubris lugubris (Linnaeus, 1771) (N= 58), Isognathus menechus (Boisduval, [1875]) (N= 46) and Cocytius duponchel (Poey, 1832) (N= 44), with 54% of the sample containing species considered rare divided into 298 male and 76 female specimens.

Bat pollination This specialization is generally inferred when flowers that are only exposed to the activity of nocturnal visitors Columnar cactus set fruit and seed. Although moths are also common visitors to the flowers of columnar cacti at night, it is Moth pollination generally thought that their contribution to the reproductive success of this cactus is negligible. Using selective Pollination exclusions, we assessed the contribution of bats and moths to the reproductive success in a population of Pollination system Pilosocereus leucocephalus in central Mexico. Fruit set was 100% for bat-pollinated flowers and 34% in moth- pollinated flowers. Seed number per fruit was 1473 in bat-pollinated and 836 in moth pollinated flowers. Our results clearly show that in addition to bats, moths are effective pollinators of Pilosocereus leucocephalus in the study area. Therefore, bats are the main pollinators of P. leucocephalus, and moths are the secondary pollinators. Columnar cacti are the dominant elements in the plant communities fruit (e.g.

    Long-Term Stability of the Hawkmoth Fauna (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae) in a Protected Area of Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest

    Journal of Insect Conservation (2018) 22:277–286 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10841-018-0061-0 ORIGINAL PAPER Long-term stability of the hawkmoth fauna (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae) in a protected area of Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest Pedro I. Chiquetto‑Machado1 · Felipe W. Amorim2 · Marcelo Duarte1 Received: 11 August 2017 / Accepted: 24 April 2018 / Published online: 30 April 2018 © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Hawkmoths are an important component of tropical ecosystems, with significant roles as herbivores and pollinators. These moths can be used as indicators in biodiversity assessments because they can be easily sampled and identified. However, hawkmoths have seldom been surveyed over the long term for this purpose, especially in the Neotropical region. Considering that long-term datasets are of indisputable importance for understanding and monitoring temporal changes in biodiversity, this study assessed long-term changes in the hawkmoth fauna in a protected Atlantic Rain Forest area over a period of 64 years. We used historical and recent empirical datasets to ask whether faunal-diversity patterns and species composition have changed over time. We used individual- and sample-based rarefaction and extrapolation curves based on Hill number (diversity order of q = 0) to compare species richness, and the probability version of the abundance-based Chao-Jaccard index to assess beta diversity over time. To assess changes in faunal composition, we conducted a nonmetric multidimen- sional scaling analysis and performed an analysis of similarities to test whether the community composition has changed. Our results clearly showed long-term stability of the hawkmoth community over the 64 years, despite the growing human- induced landscape changes that occurred in the region surrounding the study area during the last 6 decades.

Abstract: The light-attracted hawkmoths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) of the Estação Biológica de Boracéia, municipality of Salesópolis, state of São Paulo, Brazil were sampled during a period of 64 years (1940-2004). A total of 2,064 individuals belonging to 3 subfamilies, 6 tribes, 23 genera and 75 species were identified. Macroglossinae was the most abundant and richest subfamily in the study area, being followed by Sphinginae and Smerinthinae. About 66 % of the sampled individuals were assorted to the macroglossine tribes Dilophonotini and Macroglossini. Dilophonotini (Macroglossinae) was the richest tribe with 26 species, followed by Sphingini (Sphinginae) with 18 species, Macroglossini (Macroglossinae) with 16 species, Ambulycini (Smerinthinae) and Philampelini (Macroglossinae) with seven species each one, and Acherontiini (Sphinginae) with only one species. Manduca Hübner (Sphinginae) and Xylophanes Hübner (Macroglossinae) were the dominant genera in number of species. Only Xylophanes thyelia thyelia (Linnaeus) and Adhemarius eurysthenes (R. Felder) were recorded year round Introduction Hawkmoths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) comprise Kitching 2002). Because of their capability to fly about 200 genera and 1300 species (Kitching and far away, these moths are potential long distance Cadiou 2000).
