A taxonomic review of the genus Neopachylus Roewer, 1913 together with keys to the species for both males and females are presented. Gephyropachylus marginatus Mello-Leitão, 1931 is considered a junior subjective synonym of Neopachylus serrinha Soares & Soares, 1947, and Huralvius incertus Mello-Leitão, 1935 is considered a synonym of Neopachylus nebulosus (Mello-Leitão, 1936). This genus is restricted to southern Brazil, occurring in states of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul.

AbstractThe reproductive cycle, sexual maturity, fecundity, and sexual dimorphism of Helicops infrataeniatus Jan, 1865, were inferred from the analysis of 374 preserved specimens (110 males, 140 females) from the eastern Central Depression of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. There was no statistical difference between the SVL of newborn males and females, but mature females attained greater length than mature males. The tail of mature individuals was proportionally longer in males than in females. Males matured at a smaller size than females. The reproductive cycle of this species was longer than what is known for oviparous colubrids from subtropical and temperate zones of Brazil. In the studied population, vitellogenesis occurred from September to February. Oviductal embryos were found from September to May. Births took place in September, January, February and March, and occurred in two peaks. Litter size ranged from 5 to 22 offspring. The differences between the number of vitellogenic follicles and embryos, and between embryos and newborns were not significant, thus practically all follicles were generally converted into embryos and embryos into newborns.

Resumo. Os Histeridae são besouros predadores, principalmente de larvas de Diptera, que apresentam morfologia diversificada. Ainda há pouca informação sobre os Histerídeos ocorrentes na região Neotropical e no Brasil, com carência principalmente de dados regionais. O presente estudo visa preencher esta lacuna de conhecimento por meio de elaboração uma lista de espécies para a região sul do Brasil. Os dados foram levantados por meio de revisão bibliográfica e complementados com o estudo de exemplares depositados nas principais Coleções Biológica do sul do Brasil. São registrados: 66 gêneros e 157 espécies de Histeridae para a Região sul do país, alocados em 11 tribos e sete subfamílias. Essa é a lista regional mais completa de espécies de Histeridae para o Brasil e a primeira para o sul do país.Checklist of Histeridae from southern Brazil (Insecta: Coleoptera: Staphyliniformia) Abstract. The histerid beetles are predator, mainly larvae Diptera, that present diversified morphology. There is little information about the histerid beetles from Neotropical and Brazil, with a large lack mainly about regional data. Our goal was to present a checklist of Histeridae from southern Brazil in order to fill this gap of knowledge. The data were collected through a bibliographic review and supplemented with the study of specimens deposited in the main Biological Collections from Southern Brazil. There are 66 genera and 157 species of Histeridae for the southern Brazil, allocated in 11 tribes and seven subfamilies. Were recorded: 68 species to State of Paraná, 106 species to State of Santa Catarina and 25 species to State of Rio Grande do Sul. This is the most complete regional checklist of Histeridae species from Brazil and the first to southern of the country.

Settlement Systems

At the beginning of the Christian era, potterymaking groups started occupying the southern region of Brazil (the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Paraná: FIGURE 1), their origins closely related to former inhabitants, mainly hunters and gatherers. Two major groups are recognized, from the hundreds of identified sites. Vestiges of the first, dispersed in settlements in the southernmost area and in the low savanna landscape, show that settlers of mounds — cerritos — were nomadic, their economy based on hunting, fishing and gathering. In the second, dispersed in the plateau and along adjacent coastal plains, settlers depended on gathering; at least in a few areas and in more recent periods they were sedentary, with the rudiments of more complex social and political patterns. The two settlement systems are in very different environmental, cultural and temporal contexts. Current research takes a normative view of culture, in which pottery has a place of honour and is classified by archaeological ‘traditions’ and ‘phases’. Yet both groups present pottery industries rather matched in time and space, obscuring evidence of internal differentiation or cultural change processes.

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar aspectos produtivos e de comercialização do pinhão, semente da árvore conhecida vulgarmente como Pinheiro do Paraná (Araucária angustifolia (Bert.) O Kuntze). Esta espécie vegetal de porte arbóreo ocorre na região Sul e Sudeste do Brasil, principalmente nos Estados do Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina e Paraná. Do ponto de vista metodológico foi primeiramente realizado um levantamento de dados econômicos sobre este produto nas instituições públicas do Estado do Paraná. A partir destes dados foram calculadas a Margem Bruta e o Markup de Comercialização. Também foi construído o fluxograma que apresenta os diversos elos que compõe a cadeia extrativa deste Produto Florestal Não Madeirável. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a maior parte da lucratividade no interior desta cadeia é apropriada pelos intermediários. Técnicas de conservação e industrialização devem ser desenvolvidas para promover a comercialização e uso do pinhão em outras épocas do ano, além da estação de produção. Isto tornaria o preço de mercado mais atraente incentivando a sua extração e comercialização. PRODUCTIVE AND COMMERCIAL ASPECT OF PINHÃO IN PARANA STATE Abstract This paper intends to give a marketing prime in the study of the pinhão, an edible seed from Parana-pine (Araucaria angustifolia (Bert.) O Kuntze).This species occurs in Southern Brazil, mainly along the States of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Parana.This study concentrated firstly in the agregation of data from publics institucions of Parana State. Secondly, it carries out the calculus of the index of gross commercialization margins and markup of commercialization. It also builds a flow concerning the various levels composing the marketing chain. Results obtained point out that the majority of rentability is apropriate for intermediary also the industralization techniques should be developed in order to promote the commercialization and use of pinhão in other periods of the year, besides the season of production. Addicionaly, there should be better prices for de producers to incentive the activity

The two endemic, endangered species, Bacch­aris hypericifolia (Asteraceae) and Hypericum salvadorense (Hypericaceae), were known only for the Rio Grande do Sul state, in Brazil. In this paper we report two new occurrences of these species in Santa Catarina, expanding their geographic distribution to the north. Baccharis hypericyfolia and H. salvadorense were collected in areas of PPBio (Programa de Pesquisa em Biodiversidade) project. These novelties evidence the presence of knowledge gaps regarding the flora and little collecting effort in the grasslands from Southern Brazil.

Sisyrinchium antemeridianum and S. flabellatum are two new species of Sisyrinchium sect. Hydastylus that occur in the high altitude grasslands of Southern Brazil, in the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. Sisyrinchium antemeridianum can be distinguished from similar species by the conspicuous rhizome with remnants of old leaves and flowers with larger tepals and longer, connate filaments. Sisyrinchium flabellatum has a distinctive equitant phyllotaxis and a lax inflorescence of numerous flowers with small, typically reflexed tepals. Both species are endemic to the Highlands of Southern Brazil. Morphological descriptions, illustrations and ecological information for both plants are presented.

Subjective Synonym

Huene (1935) first reported dicynodonts from the Triassic Santa Maria Formation of southern Brazil. Most common are specimens of Dinodontosaurus from localities near Chiniquà (Chiniquà local fauna) and near Candelaria (Candelaria local fauna) in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The other Middle Triassic dicynodont found near Chiniquà is the huge (about 3 m body length) Stahleckeria potens, and an equally large Middle Triassic dicynodont, Barysoma lenzii, is known from near Candelaria. A fourth, supposed Santa Maria Formation dicynodont, Jachaleria candelariensis (Araújo and Gonzaga, 1990), is actually from a younger, Upper Triassic, horizon of the Caturrita Formation near Candelaria (Bonaparte, 1982). Here, I argue that Barysoma lenzii is a junior subjective synonym of Stahleckeria potens and discuss the biochronological significance of this synonymy.
