Chironomidae is an important group among the aquatic Diptera significantly participating in the composition of the benthic macroinvertebrate community of a vaariety of aquatic systems. It has been estimated that there exists at least 2.000-3.000 species in each biogeographical region. In Brazil, however, there are few studies on the ecology and taxonomy of this group. In Sao Paulo State 89 genera and 66 species were registered so far. Aiming to contribute to the advance in the knowledge on this family, the present work analized the Chironominae occurring at the State Park of Campos de Jordao, considering the absence of data regarding this family for that region which has peculiar characteristics for Sao Paulo State, such as: high altitude and subtropical high a altitude temperate climate. Samplings for the immature phase were performed by using a Surber type sampler and a D net. The samples were taken at the rivers Galharada and its affluent, Campo do Meio and Casquilho, all them of low order, with stony beds, protected by riparian vegetation; The water is transparent, cold, well oxygenated, acid, with low electrical conductivity and turbidity. Adults were captured close to the sampling points of the larvae using light trap. The results revealed differences in the structure of the communities among the streams. From cluster analysis it was possible to see the clustering of Galharada sampling points located in a central region of the park and mainly represented by the taxa aff.Omisus sp1 and Corynoneura. On the other hand the sampling points Campo do Meio and Casquilho, suffering anthropogenic impacts presented a dominance of aff. Pseudochironomus sp1 species. The diversity of adult specimens was higher than that of larvae, and new records of species for Sao Paulo State were found (Neelamia) and Brazil (Paramerina), as well as new species (Antillocladius sp1 and Goeldichironomus sp). The faunistic data will be incorporated and made available by the Environmental Information System é SinBiota/FAPESP.
Diversidade de Similiidae (Diptera, Nematocera) em córregos do estado de São Paulo, Brasil
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2003-09-03) Pepinelli, Mateus; Strixino, Susana Trivinho; https://lattes.cnpq.br/1804083229761186; https://lattes.cnpq.br/4749916650581885
With the aim to analyse the Simuliidae diversity in the State of São Paulo streams, a program of collection was done during two weather seasons (dry/2001; wet/2002) in 33 aquatic systems, including forested and open low order streams and outflow of water impoundments in 11 areas inside the Mata Atlântica and Cerrado forest. The immatures were collected manually and with the Surber sampler. Overall 26 Simuliidae species were analyzed and identified of which 8 were new occurrences to São Paulo State and 1 to Brazil. Simulium pertinax, S. incrustatum, S. perflavum, S. noguerai and S. inaequale were the most frequent species, collected in at least 30% of the water bodies. The numerical population density didn t show significant difference between the weather seasons (Kruskal-Wallis non parametric test). The relations between the taxonomic structure and the environment variables were analyzed by cluster analyses and principal components (Spearman s rank coefficent). Water velocity and streams dimensions were the main variables that explained the distribution of Simuliidae species. The anthropic impact level, as impoundment or deforestation may also influence the species distribution.
