Com base nessa informação, o objetivo desse trabalho foi realizar um levantamento das espécies de lepidópteros em mata ciliar entre os municípios de Ouro e Capinzal, Santa Catarina, Brasil. Para isso foram feitos transectos lineares ao longo da área amostrada para a coleta de exemplares, bem como observações. Ao todo foram registradas 63 espécies pertencentes a dez famílias, o que correspondeu a 31,65% do total de espécies encontradas no Oeste do estado de Santa Catarina.

2 36 ABSTRACT Nowadays studies with Lepidoptera in Western Santa Catarina State have been scarcely representative. Thereby, the aim of this study was to survey the species of Lepidoptera in a riparian forest between the municipalities of Ouro and Capinzal, State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. For this, linear transects along the sampled area were made to collect specimens and make observations as well. A total of 63 species belonging to ten families, which corresponded to 31, 65% of the total species found in the Western Santa Catarina, were obtained. Melanis smithiae was recorded for the first time in this state. Keywords: lepidoptera; western Santa Catarina; Melanis smithiae. INTRODUCTION It is estimated that annually thousands of species disappear without being known and existent species are frequently not studied enough, neither in relation to their geographical distribution. With this consideration, the knowledge of biodiversity becomes an ally of conservation, allowing a better understanding of ecological requirements and biogeography of several species (CARVALHO, 2012). Santos et al. (2008b) asserted that the state of Santa Catarina has many areas even to be explored in relation to its butterflies and moths, and the implementation of inventories and surveys of this fauna group generate knowledge of great importance for conservation programs. It is noteworthy in the state of Santa Catarina the recent increase in studies of Lepidoptera biodiversity, with researches conducted in the cities of Florianópolis, Joinvile and Joaçaba (BROWN-Jr.; FREITAS, 2000; CARNEIRO et al., 2008; FAVRETTO, 2012), some researches in Western Santa Catarina based on collection made by the entomologist Fritz Plaumann (FAVRETTO et al., 2013a, 2013b) and there is a large study with Arctiinae moths (FERRO et al., 2012). However, considering that the knowledge of Lepidoptera in Western Santa Catarina even need more information about its biodiversity, this paper aims to present some species of butterflies and moths recorded in the municipalities of Ouro and Capinzal, helping, thus, in the understanding of composition and distribution of these insects (SANTOS et al., 2008). MATERIALS AND METHODS

3 37 Samples were collected in riparian forests of Peixe river which borders the municipalities of Ouro and Capinzal, located in the Western Santa Catarina state (27º20 29 S, 51º37 05 W and 27º20 37 S, 51º36 43 W).The vegetation of these forests is Seasonal Deciduous Forest (VIBRANS et al., 2012). The species survey was made with linear transects along the riparian forests, in which collections and observations were performed during January and February of To assist in identification of species,the following references were used: Silva (1907), D Abrera (1981, 1984, 1987a, 1987b, 1988, 1994), Uehara-Prado et al. (2004), Favretto et al. (2013b). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A total of 63 speciesof Lepidoptera were recorded in riparian forests of Peixe river between the municipalities of Ouro and Capinzal (Table 01), belonging to the families Papilionidae (n=10), Noctuidae (n=1), Nymphalidae (n=33), Arctiidae (n=1), Hesperiidae (n=9), Riodinidae (n=4), Saturniidae (n=3), Sphingidae (n=1), Pieridae (n=3) and Geometridae (n=1).

6 Riqueza de Espécies 40 The value of species richness recorded is equivalent to 31,65% of total richness recorded in Western Santa Catarina (FAVRETTO et al., 2013a; 2013b) and 7,94% higher than the number of species of the municipality of Joaçaba, located near the sampled areas (FAVRETTO, 2012). Whereas the municipalities of Ouro and Capinzal, family Nymphalidae was more representative than in Joaçaba, the reverse was observed considering Saturniidae and Sphingidae (Graphic 01) Ouro/Capinzal Joaçaba Western Santa Catarina Famílias Graphic 01. Species richness per family in the municipalities of Ouro and Capinzal, Joaçaba (FAVRETTO, 2012) and in Western Santa Catarina (FAVRETTO et al., 2013a, 2013b). In this paper the family Nymphalidae represented 52,38% of species richness and among all families in this study the most representative genera were Heraclides (Papilionidae), Hamadryas (Nymphalidae) and Urbanus (Hesperiidae), all composed by three recorded species. Among the genera and species of this study, the following were not recorded in Western Santa Catarina in the study of Favretto et al. (2013a, 2013b):Astraptes sp., Urbanus teleus, Urbanus dorantes, Urbanus virescens, Pyrgus sp., Cf. Authocton sp., Saliana saladin, Trina sp. and Lasaia agesilas, these were found only in the coastal region (CARNEIRO et al., 2008). Chamaelimnas briola, also did not have previous records, but aside from its register here, a specimen of this species is deposited in the Entomological Collection of Yale Peabody Museum, collected by the entomologist Fritz Plaumann, in 1966, in the municipality of Seara (Register number in the collection: YPM ENT ).

7 41 While for speciesmelanis smithiae its occurrence is known in the states of Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul (DOLIBAÍNA et al., 2011; RITTER et al., 2011), however there are no published records located in the state of Santa Catarina, and this is probably the first record of it in this state. The recent study of Favretto (2012), had found 29 species which did not have recent published records for the state and the present paper adds another new record of species, demonstrating how important is the increase of research with this group of fauna in the state, allowing a better understanding of the biodiversity of this region, generating data of biogeographical importance and support for future conservation strategies.
