Abstract. We present the first inventory of species of the order Mantodea in the Serra das Confusões National Park, in the semiarid state of Piauí, Brazil. The specimens were collected on 11 consecutive days using light traps and active collecting. Two hundred specimens were collected, distributed among five families, 15 genera, and 17 species (of which nine were identified). These results are all first records for the Serra das Confusões National Park, 14 new records for vegetation areas, and one new record for Brazil.

Keywords: Biodiversity; Caatinga; Checklist; Inventory; Semi-arid.

Primeiros Registros de Mantodea (Insecta, Dictyoptera) para o Parque Nacional da Serra das Confusões, Piauí, Brasil

Resumo. Neste trabalho são apresentados os resultados do primeiro inventário para espécies da ordem Mantodea no Parque Nacional da Serra das Confusões, uma unidade de conservação inserida no semiárido brasileiro no estado do Piauí. Os espécimes foram coletados durante 11 dias consecutivos utilizando-se armadilha luminosa e coleta ativa. Foram capturados 200 espécimes distribuídos em cinco famílias, 15 gêneros e 17 espécies, das quais nove foram identificadas. Além dos registros inéditos de Mantodea para o Parque Nacional da Serra das Confusões, estes são também inéditos para o estado do Piauí, assim como 14 novos registros para a Caatinga e um novo registro para o Brasil.

antodea is a small order with global distribution [Br a s i l (1998) - DOU nº 190/02 October 1998; Br a s i l (2010) - (except in the Antarctic) (Ri v e r a 2010).

(Mantodea) are predators that can often be recognized by their raptorial anterior legs that are kept The SCNP comprises a hard sandstone plateau (Chapadões bent against the prothorax when at rest (Es s i g 1942). Another do Alto Médio Parnaíba) and adjacent Parnaíba River basin remarkable feature of this taxon is their natural camouflage, with depressions, with a small area of the Médio São Francisco species imitating the colors and shapes of leaves, twigs, grass, peripheral depression (Za h e r 2002; Mo u r a 2004). The plateaus Entomologia Geral and flowers (Gr i m a l d i & En g e l 2005). there above 400 m a.s.l. are covered by Caatinga/Cerrado transition vegetation (known as “Carrasco”), while the lowlands Approximately 2,400 species are recognized in this order, with hold several Caatinga physiognomies (Za h e r 2002; Bo u r & Za h e r 496 from the Neotropical region, and 273 from Brazil (Eh r m a n n 2005). The SCNP has been indicated as one of the 27 areas 2002; Eh r m a n n & Ko ç a k 2009; Te rr a & Ag u d e l o 2012). The species with the greatest biodiversity importance in Brazil in terms of richness of the Neotropical region is considered low, mainly due conservation in the Caatinga biome, as it occupies a transition to the scarce sampling efforts, low population densities, and few zone between Caatinga, Cerrado, and dry forest formations, and studies that have focused on Mantodea fauna (especially in the has great biological importance for several Metazoa taxa (Si l v a semiarid region of Brazil) (Ag u d e l o et al. 2007; Da n t a s et al. et al. 2003). 2008).
