Acanthonyx scutiformis, an endemic species in the Brazilian coast, is commonly found in intertidal rocky-shore algal communities. This study analyzes the population biology of A. scutiformis from Ubatuba region. A total of 371 specimens were collected over one year. Size range was 4.2[long dash]12.7 mm CW (carapace width) for females and 3.7[long dash]15.8 mm CW for males. Females predominated in intermediate size classes, whereas males prevailed in the largest ones. The estimated size when 50% crabs were mature was 10.7 mm CW for males and 8.9 mm CW for females. Sex ratio varied among the demographic groups. The processes that influence A. scutiformis population structure can be related to the different times males and females reach sexual maturity and probably to the distinct predation pressures on each sex during the adult phase.

The dimensions of chelar propodus and abdomen were utilized for the morphometric analysis about the relative growth studies of Acanthonyx scutiformis (Dana, 1851). A total of 297 specimens (114 males and 183 females), was collected in Ubatuba, State of São Paulo, Brazil. The animals were sexed and soarted to maturation phase (immature and mature). The following measurements were made: carapace (length and width), abdomen width and chelar propodus (length and height). In this study was applicated the power function (y= a.x(b)), in which the growth was considered positive allometric with isometric with b=1, and negative allometric with b<1. The alometry becomes isometric, when the results concerning immature and mature females and males are analysed. In the Brachyura male chelipeds are utilized in territorial defense, fight, display and courtship and female abdomens are utilized as a chamber that protect and incubate the eggs.

Neohelice granulata ecological distribution was evaluated in its northernmost latitudinal occurrence in a Brazilian tropical mangrove (23[degree]13'4" S, 44[degree]42'47" W). Samples were collected in three sites along the main river in the mangrove. Crabs were manually captured by two people, 15 min each, at low tide periods. The sex of the animals was assessed and carapace width measured. The size-frequency distribution was determined in each site. Environmental factors (salinity, temperature, organic matter and sediment texture) were analyzed, compared among sites and related to crab abundance and size in each site. Crab abundance decreased with the distance from the sea. Juvenile crabs were more frequent next to the sea, whereas larger and ovigerous ones were mainly found in the most distant site. Crab size was proportional to the organic matter percentage in the sediment. N. granulata spatial distribution varies along the river course, which is probably related to the most productive areas that have more nutrients available; this may also occur in order to prevent intraspecific competition.

The lacewings (Ceraeochrysa cincta) are important predators found associated to many pests in several agroecosystems. Eggs of Sitotroga cerealella and Anagasta kuehniella are used traditionally for massal rearing of these predators. Other foods can be used in substitution to the traditional ones, but little is known about the biology of lacewings and other alternative foods. So, this work was carried out to evaluate the effect of different diets on the post-embryonic development of C. cincta in laboratory. After been individualized in glass tubes, each larva was fed with S. cereallella and Diatraea saccharallis. It was evaluated the larvae duration, weight and viability in each instar, the duration, weight and viability of the pupa and pre-pupa stages and the duration of the post-embryonic period. It was adopted a completely randomized design with ten replications per treatment, each consisting of five eggs or larvae of C. cincta. Larvae were weighed 48 hours after hatching and 48 hours after each molt, and pre-pupae and pupae, 48 hours after starting these stages. There was no effect of the kind of food provided on the parameters evaluated. Therefore, D. saccharallis eggs can be used to feed C. cincta.

Pentatomidae é a quarta maior família dentro de Heteroptera sendo composta por 760 gêneros e 4700 espécies. Esta família tem distribuição mundial, mas as subfamílias Cyrtocorinae, iscocephalinae e Edessinae são exclusivas da região Neotropical. Dentre as subfamílias de Pentatomidae, Edessinae é uma das que apresenta o maior número de problemas taxonômicos e nomenclaturais, concentrados basicamente no gênero Edessa. Edessinae é um táxon megadiverso (cerca de 280 espécies conhecidas e mais de 350 desconhecidas da ciência) e formada atualmente por cinco gêneros: Edessa (259 espécies descritas), Olbia (5), Pantochlora (1), Peromatus (7) e Brachystethus (10). O estudo atual de Edessa é feito através da organização de exemplares em grupos de espécies morfologicamente semelhantes. Este trabalho segue esta linha com a proposição do grupo Edessa pallida. Este grupo é baseado em características morfológicas externas como a forma afunilada do corpo, padrão de pontuação do corpo, reticulação das asas, padrão de manchas no abdome, bem como características da genitália dos machos. As espécies incluídas neste grupo são Edessa pallida Dallas, 1851, Edessa inscripta Walker, 1868 e Edessa polymita Distant, 1890, além de cinco espécies novas para ciência. O número total de exemplares examinados neste trabalho foi 70 indivíduos pertencentes a 12 coleções nacionais e estrangeiras. As espécies foram descritas, ilustradas e medidas seguindo um padrão adotado para a família. As espécies já conhecidas tiveram suas distribuições geográficas ampliadas. A sp. nov. 1 foi descrita de exemplares provenientes do Suriname, Guiana Francesa e Brasil; a sp. nov. 2 da Guiana e Brasil; a sp. nov. 3 do Brasil; a sp. nov. 4 da Guiana Francesa; e a sp. nov. 5 da Guiana, Suriname. Guiana Francesa e Brasil. Uma chave de identificação e um mapa com a distribuição geográfica das espécies são apresentados.
