Abstract
ROBERTO C., OLIVEIRA; LARA, ROGÉRIA I. R.; FONSECA, ALYSSON R. and PERIOTO, NELSON W.. Hemerobiidae (Neuroptera) in the midwestern région of Minas Gérais State, Brazil. Rev. Colomb. Entomol. [online]. 2013, vol.39, n.2, pp.256-259. ISSN 0120-0488.
This study aimed to identify the Hemerobiidae (Neuroptera) associated to Brazilian savannah and gallery forest, in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The sampling was carried every two weeks at Brazilian savannah (Cerrado) in Divinópolis and at gallery forest in Pedra do Indaiá, both in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Collecting was carried out between November 2003 and October 2004, with Malaise traps. A total of 181 specimens of five species of Hemerobiidae were collected. The species Nusalala tessellata, Megalomus impudicus, Hemerobius bolivari and Notiobiella sp. were collected in the two sites; the fifth species Sympherobius sp. was found only in Pedra do Indaiá. The species of diversity (index of Shannon-Wiener) and the equitability (J) of Hemerobiidae were similar in the areas of Brazilian savannah and gallery forest (H' = 0.47 - 0.49, respectively, and J = 0.78 - 0.69, respectively), and the differences observed between the two locations were not significant.
