A survey of carnivore mammals was accomplished in Aparados da Serra National Park from February 1998 to March 2000. The park has 10,250 ha and is considered a biodiversity core area of the Atlantic Forest Biosphere Reserve in the Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The landscape is characterized by relatively well preserved relicts of Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze forest, grasslands and Atlantic Forest, which have contributed for the survival of endangered carnivore mammals. The National Park was divided in a grid of 16 km² cells using a 1:50,000 scale map. The animals were recorded using indirect methods, by identifying signs (scats, tracks) and direct observation in 2.5 km long and 5 m wide transects, with 10 replicates in each grid cell. Interviews with local people were also used to confirm the animal presence. A total of 13 species was recorded: Procyon cancrivorus (Cuvier, 1798), Pseudalopex gymnocercus (G. Fischer, 1814), Leopardus pardalis (Linnaeus, 1758) and Cerdocyon thous (Linnaeus, 1766) were the most frequent species registered. Nasua nasua (Linnaeus 1766), Herpailurus yaguarondi (Lacépède, 1809), Chrysocyon brachyurus (Illiger, 1815), Eira barbara (Linnaeus, 1758), Leopardus sp., Puma concolor (Linnaeus, 1771), Galictis cuja (Molina, 1782), Conepatus chinga (Molina, 1892) and Lontra longicaudis (Olfers, 1818) showed lower frequencies. The Park presented areas with significant differences (Mantel Test, P< 0.05) in species richness and composition related to habitat classes. Areas with high habitat richness presented high species richness. The Araucaria forest was the habitat that presented the higher carnivore richness. The border areas of the Park are influenced by several environmental degradation factors that could be affecting the distribution of carnivores.

Eight species are considered for the genus Cobelura Erichson, 1847, three described herein: C. stockwelli sp. nov., from Panamá (Canal Zone, Darien), C. wappesi sp. nov., from Ecuador (Pichincha) and C. howdenorum sp. nov., from Colombia (Norte de Santander). The treatment of each new species includes information on its geographical distribution, photographs and a comparison with its most similar congenerics. A key to species of Cobelura is presented.

O conhecimento científico sobre a associação de Thysanoptera com plantas nativas ou cultivadas na região Neotropical é praticamente inexistente. Este trabalho objetivou identificar as espécies de tripes e as plantas por eles visitadas ou utilizadas como hospedeiras em uma unidade de conservação, o Parque Estadual de Itapuã (30°22'S 51°02'W), Viamão, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Entre junho de 1999 e maio de 2001, ramos (n=1.274), flores (n=774) e touceiras de gramíneas (n=596) foram sistematicamente amostradas em 20 pontos em quatro transectos estandardizados. O total de 72 espécies de plantas pertencentes a 26 famílias foram identificadas, 60 das quais foram registradas como hospedeiras. Do total de 9.602 espécimes de tripes, 4.900 (50%) foram registrados em flores, 3.764 (39%) em ramos e 938 (10%) nas touceiras de gramíneas. Para 6.533 dos espécimes (4.480 imaturos e 2.053 adultos), foi possível identificar a planta na qual foram coletados. De uma riqueza total de 61 espécies de tripes, 35 foram registradas em flores, 36 em ramos e 14 em touceiras de gramíneas. As espécies de tripes mais abundantes e as plantas que apresentaram a mais alta diversidade de tripes são comentadas.

A new genus, Rejanellus, type species Onocolus venustus Bryant, 1940, is established for four species of spiders of the subfamily Stephanopinae from Cuba and Haiti. The presence of dorsal tubercles on the male carapace is a possible synapomorphy for the genus. The four known species by now Onocolus venustus Bryant, 1948, O. pallescens Bryant, 1940, O. granulata [sic] Bryant, 1940 and Epicadus mutchleri Petrunkevitch, 1930 are transferred to the new genus. All species are redescribed and illustrated.
