Pycnoscelus surinamensis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Blaberoidea: Blaberidae), a cockroach with a possible association with the ant Brachymyrmex cordemoyi Forel, 1895 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and which may be exhibiting a domiciliation trend.

In the present paper, we report on the occurrence of the cockroach Pycnoscelus surinamensis (Linnaeus, 1758) in Brachymyrmex cordemoyi Forel, 1895 nests, indicating a possible symbiosis between these two species. Also, the finding of intradomicile P. surinamensis nymphs may indicate this species is extending its habitat to human habitations, i.e. changing its ecological category from peridomestic to domestic.

EVOLUÇÃO DOS CONHECIMENTOS SOBRE AS COQUINAS-RESERVATÓRIO DA FORMAÇÃO LAGOA FEIA NO TREND BADEJO-LINGUADO-PAMPO, BACIA DE CAMPOS

É feita uma análise da evolução dos conhecimentos sobre as coquinas-reservatório da Formação Lagoa Feia, com base em cinco publicações de geologia de desenvolvimento dos campos de Badejo, Linguado e Pampo. Trata-se de uma única acumulação, onde o controle é misto, ou seja, estrutural, estratigráfico e principalmente diagenético. Falhas antitéticas herdadas do rifteamento pós-basáltico exercem um importante papel no controle das coquinas, promovendo crescimento da seção nos blocos baixos, e servindo de conduto para a circulação de água meteórica, relacionada à discordância pós-coquina que promove dissolução e criação de porosidade secundária nas coquinas. A compreensão do modelo de acumulação do óleo é fundamental tendo em vista oportunidades para projetos de recuperação suplementar de óleo.

Evolução tectônica do Trend Badejo-Linguado-Pampo, bacia de Campos (RJ)

The regional geological work for the oil industry, in order to find potential areas for hydrocarbon exploration and understand the geological parameters responsible for the formation of the deposit are known importance. This work fits into that scenario, with regional research with the aid of wells and 2D and 3D seismic sold by DBEP (Database Exploration and Production). Were also used as GeoGraphix software package Landmarks modules Prizm and SeisWork 2D and 3D, and the Surfer 8 and ArcGIS 9.2 with the infrastructure provided by the 05 PRH - ANP with LSGI (Laboratory of Seismic and Geological Interpretation) located at UNESP -- Campus de Rio Claro. The work focuses on study the trend of oil-Badejo-Linguado-Pampo, producing fields since the beginning of offshore holdings. The Campos Basin is now known as the offshore basin of the country more productive, and the high structural Badejo is a structure of great importance in the basin presents itself as largely responsible for the conditioning of hydrocarbon fields Pampo, Linguado and Badejo. Therefore this work also aims to increase knowledge of the region in terms of tectonic and stratigraphic characterize the geometry of the structures associated with this major regional structure. For this we used structural contour maps of the main chrono-horizons, and Isopach maps for the purpose of better understanding the tectono-sedimentary evolution of the Campos Basin locally.
