Diversidade de Mutillidae (Hymenoptera-Aculeata) da Serra da Bodoquena, MS

Abstract

The Mutillidae wasps are parasitoids. The samplings had been carried through in seven distinct areas a long two portions to hymenopteras that can attack diverse orders of insects, being its hosts, in the majority other hymenopteras Mountain range of the Bodoquena, that presents about 300 length km and 20 to 50 width km, with altitudes that vary 450 to 650 m and in area bordering to National Park that enclose 76,481 ha divided in two fragments and the predominant vegetation are the Forest Estacional Decidual Submontana. Two quantitative methodologies of collection had been adopted (Pitfall and Covering area) and a qualitative one (manual collections). Has beem collected 44 individuals pertaining two subfamilies, four tribes, 13 sorts and distributed in 23 species. The sort that presented greater wealth was Traumatomutilla with 6 species (26,08%), followed Timulla (3 species, 13.04%) and Ephuta (3 species, 13.04%); the sort most abundant was Traumatomutilla with 20 individuals (45,45%) and the species most abundant was lame Traumatomutilla with 9 captures individuals (20,45%), being the other species considered rare for region to presenting only 1 register. The register of few individuals must it geologic formation area, that is predominantly rocky. Analyzing the index of diversity from environments, we have the Antropizada area being most diverse (H'=3,585), followed for Decidual forest (H'=3,096), Ciliar forest (H'=2,419) and Closed (H'=2,252). The different formations had presented basses similarity indices and with these data we can suggest that it has one strong trend the mutillidae to be fit in specific functional groups for each environment. Different methodologies must be applied for fauna’s inventory of mutillidae, being the collections qualitative the most indicated for study the wealth and diversity.
