Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research
Carvalho, Raquel L.; Resende, Angelica F.; Barlow, Jos; França, Filipe M.; Moura, Mario R.; Maciel, Rafaella; Alves-Martins, Fernanda; Shutt, JackBiodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain underst...
Hexapoda Yearbook (Arthropoda: Mandibulata: Pancrustacea) Brazil 2020: the firs...
Silva-Neto, Alberto Moreira; Falaschi, Rafaela Lopes; Zacca, Thamara; Hipólito, Juliana; Pequeno, Pedro Aurélio Costa Lima; Alves-Oliveira, João RafaelThis paper provided a list of all new Brazilian Hexapoda species described in 2020. Furthermore, based on the information extracted by this list, we tackled additional questions regarding the taxa, the specialists involved in the species descriptions as well as the journals in which those papers have been published. We recorded a total of 680 new Brazilian species of Hexapoda described in 2020, classified in 24...
Review of the genus Aturbina Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae)
Salles, Frederico Falcaõ; Boldrini, Rafael; Shimano, Yulie; Cabette, Helena Soares RamosIn the present work, based on material from several localities in Brazil, the genus Aturbina is reviewed.

Updating the geographic records of social wasps (Vespidae: Polistinae) in Rorai...
Barroso, P. C.S.; Somavilla, Alexandre; Boldrini, RafaelThe Roraima state in Brazil is part of Northern Amazon, an area harboring high biodiversity and high degree of endemism. Nevertheless, there are few studies on diversity of social wasps occurring in this region. This study presents a list of social wasps (Vespidae: Polistinae) collected actively and using Malaise, Suspended and Light trap in six localities in Roraima state. A total of 85 species of 14 genera we...
Leptohyphidae (Insecta: Ephemeroptera) from Northeastern Brazil
Cruz, Paulo Vilela; Belmont, Enide Luciana Lima; Boldrini, Rafael; Hamada, NeusaNew records of Leptohyphidae for Northeastern Brazil are provided. Previously, only Tricorythopsis bahiensis Dias, Salles & Ferreira had been recorded in this region, but we now record one species of Amanahyphes Salles & Molineri, one of Leptohyphes Eaton, three of Traverhyphes Molineri, three of Tricorythodes Ulmer, and seven of Tricorythopsis Traver. Two of these species are recorded for the first time in Bra...

Boldrini, Rafael; Salles, Frederico Falcaõ; Cabette, Helena Soares RamosIn the present work, based on material from several localities in Brazil, we present a contribution to the taxonomy of the Terpides lineage, a monophyletic group of Neotropical mayflies that encompasses three genera: Terpides, Tikuna, and Fittkaulus. A new species of Terpides is described from the States of Espírito Santo and Mato Grosso, based on nymphs, male and female imagos. The male imago of the type speci...
New Baetidae (Insecta: Ephemeroptera) records from Venezuela and nymph descript...
Cruz, Paulo Vilela; Boldrini, Rafael; Quinto, Carlos F.; Frontado, Hortencia L.The Ephemeroptera fauna in Venezuela is poorly known, as is also the case in others areas in South America. Recently, two studies increased from 33 to 50 the number of species recorded in Venezuela. The objective of the present study is to report for the first time in Venezuela the following species: Baetodes levis; Camelobaetidius edmundsi; Fallceon sp.; Mayobaetis ellenae. The nymph of Fallceon sp. is describ...

Salles, Frederico Falcaõ; Nasciment, Jeane Marcelle Cavalcante do; Massariol, Fabiana Criste; Angeli, Kamila Batista; Silva, Patrik Barcelos eBased on collections performed between 2008 and 2009 at Parque Nacional do Caparaó, Reserva Biológica de Sooretama, among other areas in Espírito Santo State, southeastern Brazil, we present the first survey of mayflies (Insecta: Ephemeroptera) from the state. Despite the fact that the state is one of the smallest in Brazil, representing only 0.53% of the country area, a surprising diversity was found. Seventy-...
