A new species of black fly, Simulium (Inaequalium) marins (Diptera: Simuliidae), is described based on the male, female, pupa and larva. This new species was collected from two localities: a small stream on the Pico dos Marins, a high mountain with granite outcrops in Piquete County, state of São Paulo, and in a small stream in the Serra dos Órgãos National Park, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The larva, pupa, male, and female of Simulium bifenestratum n. sp. are described and illustrated. The pupae of the new species have 10 gill filaments, thick at their base and arranged in a three-dimensional way, surrounding the head and thorax. Its pupal cocoon is peculiar, not found in any of the known Brazilian black-fly species; it is very thick and hard with two openings in the anterior region. S. bifenestr...
We describe the larval stage of Simulium cuasiexiguum Shelley, Luna Dias, Maia-Herzog & Lowry and Simulium obesum Vulcano and provide new distribution records of four black fly species in the State of São Paulo (Simulium cuasiexiguum, Simulium metallicum s.l. Bellardi, Simulium stellatum Gil Azevedo, Figueró & Maia-Herzog and Simulium oyapockense s.l. Floch & Abonnenc) and three species in the State of Minas Ge...
Taxonomically, blackflies (Simuliidae) are among the best-known aquatic insects in Brazil. However, information on their distribution is lacking for many regions. We sampled simuliids in 50 streams in the Chapada Diamantina region, State of Bahia, located in three distinct geographical areas, 20 at Lençóis, 18 at Mucugê, and 12 at Rio de Contas. We analyzed simuliid species richness and distribution in the Chap...
Levantamento preliminar dos gêneros e espécies de Baetidae (Insecta: Ephemeroptera) do Estado de São Paulo, com ênfase em coletas realizadas em córregos florestados de baixa ordem A despeito dos avanços alcançados recentemente com relação ao conhecimento faunístico de Baetidae no Brasil, assim como na Região Sudeste, até o presente trabalho somente três espécies nominais haviam sido registradas para o Estado de...

Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais; The lack of knowledge about ecology and taxonomy of black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) in several regions of Brazil restrict the advance of programs about population control, environmental impact assessment and conservation of biodiversity. With the aim of assessing the diversity of black fly species in the State of São Paulo, we realized collections in 151 localities, inclu...
