Desenvolvimento de Meloidogyne exigua Goeldi, 1887, em raízes de cafeeiros, em três ambientes

Com o objetivo de se obter informações sobre o desenvolvimento de Meloidogyne exigua Goeldi, 1887, em raízes de cafeeiro (Coffea arabica L.) cv. Mundo Novo, em três ambientes, plântulas no estágio do primeiro par de folhas verdadeiras foram transplantadas para copos plásticos com 25O ml de solo. Trinta dias depois, cada muda foi infestada com 600 larvas pré-parasitas e transferidas para as diversas condições de estudo: casa de vegetação, sala de temperatura constante e próximo de plantas adultas num cafezal. As raízes foram coletadas cada dois dias, coloridas e dissecadas, sendo os exemplares de M. exigua classificados de acordo com o estádio de desenvolvimento. Os resultados permitiram concluir que o desenvolvimento de M. exigua foi influenciado pela temperatura, e, que da penetração das larvas às fêmeas com ovos foram necessários, respectivamente, 25,3 dias à temperatura média de 25,8°C, 37,3 dias a 22,1°C e 38 dias a 22,4ºC, para a casa de vegetação, sala de temperatura constante e cafezal. A temperatura base estimada a partir dos resultados obtidos pelo método do coeficiente de variação foi 15°C. Foram necessárias, em média, 6580 unidades de calor, acima de 15°C, para M. exigua completar o seu desenvolvimento.

Contribuição ao Conhecimento do Gênero Sarcophagula Wulp, 1887 (Diptera-Sarcophagidae)

The present paper, a revision of the genus Sarcophagula Wulp, is based upon material from the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz and the American Museum of Natural History. Five species are considered two of wich are new ones.

Lymnaea viatrix and Lymnaea columella in the neotropical region: a distributional outline

A review of lymnaeid samples collected by the author from 106 localities in Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panamá, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay andBrazil showed that one of them (from Ecuador) belonged to Lymnaea cousini Jousseaume, 1887, and all the others to either L. viatrix Orbigny, 1835 or l. columella Say, 1817. The ranges of L. viatrix and L. columella overlap in Middle America, and in northern and southern South America (Venezuela-Colombia-Ecuador and northeastern Argentina-Uruguay-southernmost Brazil, respectively). L. viatrix was the only species found in Peru west of the Andes and in Chile, and is supposed to have migrated eastward to Argentina via the Negro river basin. The range of L. columella in South America is discontinuous. The species has been recorded from Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador and, east of the Andes, from latitudes 15º S (central-west Brazil) to 35º S (La Plata, Argentina). Such a gap may be attributed to either introduction from the northern into the southern area, or migration along the unsampled region on the eastern side of the Andes, or extinction in the now vacant area. No lymnaeids have been found so far in Brazil north of latitude 15º S and in the Guianas.

Ectoparasites Ixodida Leach, 1817 on wild mammals in the state of Paraná, Brazil

A taxonomical and ecological study was made on 264 samples of 12 species of ectoparasite ixodides collected on wild mammals from several natural regions of Paraná state, Brazil. These species of ticks as their hosts are listed by their identified evolutive forms and capture locations. A review of the early studies on the Ixodida from South Brazil is made considering the frequency of the parasite species on each host concerning the geographic distribution of such species. This paper is a contribution to the knowledge of the Ixodidae ectoparasites species of wild mammals in Brazil.

Limnaea peregrina Clessin, 1882, Synonym of Lymnaea columella Say, 1817 (Gastropoda: Lymnaeidae)

A description is given of the shell, radula, renal region, reproductive system and egg capsules of topotypic specimens of limnaea peregrina Clessin, 1882. This investigation intends contributing to define the specific identity of that nominal species. A close anatomical comparison with Lymnaea columella Say, 1817 from Michigan, USA, shows that both forms are indistinguishable, giving support to previous inferences from some authors. Data on egg hatching are presented.

Lymnaea cousini Jousseaume, 1887, from Ecuador (Gastropoda: Lymnaeidae)

A description is given of the shell, renal organ, reproductive system and radula of topotypic specimens of Lymnaea cousini Jousseaume, 1887. A diagnosis between it and four other lymnaeids which also occur in South America and were previously studied by the author (L. columella, L. diaphana, L. viatrix and L. rupestris) is presented.
