The Zona da Mata region is located in southeastern Minas Gerais State, Brazil with fauna and flora diversified, including herbivorous insects and Solanaceae plants. Ithomiinae caterpillars were observed damaging tree of Solanum granuloso-leprosum Dunal (Solanaceae), used for different purposes and abundant in secondary forest. The objective of this study was to identify defoliating caterpillars of S. granuloso-leprosum at the campus of Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV) in Viçosa, Minas Gerais State, Brazil and review host plants of Mechanitis polymnia L., 1758 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae). Thirteen caterpillars found damaging a tree of S. granuloso-leprosum at the campus of UFV were collected and maintained in the Laboratório de Controle Biológico de Insetos (LCBI) from UFV until adult emergence. These caterpillars were of two species, being ten of the first and three of the second species. Adult specimens of the latter species were identified as Ithomia lichyi lichyi D'Almeida, 1939 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in the Departamento de Zoologia of Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR) in Curitiba, Paraná State, Brazil and of the group of ten caterpillars as Mechanitis polymnia casabranca Haensch, 1905 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in the Museu de Zoologia of Universidade de São Paulo (USP) in São Paulo State, Brazil. This is the first report of M. polymnia casabranca and I. lichyi lichyi together damaging plant of S. granuloso-leprosum in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais State, Brazil and 57 plants are recorded as host of M. polymnia.

Herein, we studied the occurrence of insect galls from natural vegetation around the Itambé Cave, Altinópolis, SP, Brazil. A sampling effort of 7.5 hours resulted in 41 gall morphotypes on 21 host plant species from 14 families. The richest families of host plants in morphotypes were Fabaceae (N = 11), Euphorbiaceae (N = 7), and Malpighiaceae (N = 5). Copaifera langsdorffii Desf. (N = 8), Croton floribundus Spreng. (N = 7), Diplopterys pubipetala (A. Juss.) W.R. Anderson & C.C. Davis (N = 5), and Bauhinia holophylla (Bong.) Steud. (N = 4) were the super host plant species. Among the gall makers obtained, cecidomyiids were reared in 81% of cases and Hemiptera (Diaspididae), Hymenoptera (Eurytomidae), Coleoptera (Apion sp./Apionidae), and Lepidoptera in 4.5% of cases, each. The parasitoids belong to the Chalcidoidea superfamily (Hymenoptera). One new species of Camptoneuromyiia (Cecidomyiidae) was found in Smilax oblongifolia Pohl ex Griseb. (Smilacaceae) as inquiline and a new species of Lestodiplosis in Diplopterys pubipetala (Malpighiaceae) was a predator. We also present the first register of Bauhinia holophylla as host plants of Cecidomyiidae, and we expand the occurrence of Rochadiplosis tibouchinae Tavares and Couridiplosis vena to São Paulo State. The results of this paper are a continuation of the description of gall morphotypes from the vegetation in Northeastern São Paulo State, and they also increase knowledge about the diversity of host plant and gall-maker associations in the Neotropical region.

The Relationship

The knowledge of host plants, distribution and economic importance of Lonchaeidae is scarce in Latin America. We have recovered specimens of Lonchaeidae from most fruit samples containing specimens of Tephritidae. The compilation of information is essential to determine the diversity of species and the relationship with their hosts. In addition to the list of records based on early publications, we add unpublished data of Lonchaeids recovered from plant samples collected in the Instituto Biológico, São Paulo, Brazil. In total, 18 species of Lonchaeidae, belonging to the genera Dasiops, Lonchaea and Neosilba were registered in São Paulo, and associated with 111 host plant species and 27 botanical families. New records are listed and geographical distribution is available by specific maps.

Croton josephinus Müll.Arg., a member of Croton sect. Medea (Klotzsch) Baill. (Euphorbiaceae), has not been recollected since 1824, nor mentioned in the literature since its original publication in 1873. This species has recently been rediscovered in a campo rupestre area at the ‘Pico 1430 m’ of the Serra de São José, Minas Gerais, after 20 years of field work in the area. In the protologue Croton josephinus was cited as having been collected from São Paulo State. This is likely to have been a simple misattribution of the area where it occurs. Based on the new material collected, a detailed description and an illustration of the species are provided. A lectotype and an isolectotype are designated.

No interior paulista foram encontrados vestígios de uma cultura designada por antropólogos brasileiros como “caipira”. Embora descaracterizada por outros componentes culturais, é possível decifrar suas origens nas expressões linguística, artística e religiosa. Seu território, denominado “Paulistânia”, abarcou a região atribuída à Capitania do Sul, englobando partes dos estados de Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Goiás, Paraná e o atual estado de São Paulo. O conhecimento das condições de mobilidade e permanência, associado ao longo processo de delimitação das fronteiras e implantação de cidades, moldou este ser humano que vivia em pequenas unidades de subsistência. Desta forma, o artigo reflete sobre como o modo de ser do caipira entende, define e constrói o sentimento de pertencimento ao lugar, mais especificamente, ao bairro rural, tendo como intuito averiguar que a sua noção de lugar não está apenas associada ao espaço físico, mas a uma ampla rede comunitária manifesta em suas narrativas, como no canto do cururu, ampliando a discussão sobre o lugar fenomenológico.Palavras-chave: Bairros rurais. Construção simbólica do espaço. Cultura tradicional. Territorialidade.Caipira’s territorialities: being and identity of placeAbstractIn small towns and rural areas of São Paulo state are found traces of the “caipira”, a pesant culture so designated by anthropologists. Although somewhat decharacterized, its origin can be studied from linguistic, artistic and religious practices where the cultural repertory of this local man reaches its roots in the colonial period. Its territory, called "Paulistânia" covers the South Captaincy, with parts of the states of Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Goiás, Paraná and the current São Paulo state. Territorial notions of mobility and permanence associated to border delimitation and city settlements modulated this human being that dwelt in small subsistence farming units.  This article discusses caipira’s way of life manifested in the cultural landscape by cooperative practices, religious festivals and artistic expressions as place features molding belongingness to district and community. In this sense it reflects the notion of place in a wide network of sociability and common life contained in narratives, bringing discussion to the phenomenology of space perception.Keywords: Rural districts.

In this paper, we describe Coarazuphium lundi sp. nov., from a single male specimen collected in Gruta 06L cave located in the municipality of Prudente de Morais (Minas Gerais state, Brazil). The two most striking differences between C. lundi and other species of the genus is the presence of two pairs of posterior supraorbital setae and the elytra shape with parallel, not rounded sides. Coarazuphium pains Álvares & Ferreira 2002 is an endemic species restricted to a few caves at the Bambuí Carbonatic Group in the midwest of Minas Gerais state, Brazil. The holotype of C. pains was unfortunately lost in 2010, due to a fire that destroyed almost the entire zoological collection at the Butantã Institute, São Paulo state in Brazil. In recent years, several species of the genus have been described and compared to C. pains only based on its paper description, clearly prompting the need for the C. pains neotype designation. In order to provide a necessary standard for comparison, a neotype is designed for this species based on the material collected from the best approximation of the type locality (caves). Lastly, we also provide a brief discussion on the presence of eyespots of C. cessaima, originally described as blind.

Abstract: In this paper we studied the occurrence of insect galls and gall makers in a Seasonal Semideciduous Forest area in Sorocaba Municipality, Southeast of São Paulo State, Brazil. One hundred and thirteen morphotypes of galls on 54 species of host plants of 24 different families were found. The families of host plants richer in gall morphotypes were Fabaceae (N = 26) and Malpighiaceae (N = 19); the super host plants species were Copaifera langsdorffii Desf. (Fabaceae) (N = 16), Stigmaphyllon lalandianum (Aubl.) Marchand (Malpighiaceae) (N = 11), Protium heptaphyllum A. Juss. (Burseraceae) (N = 10), Serjania lethalis A.St.-Hil. (Sapindaceae) (N = 5). Most of the galls were found empty, but insects of the family Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) were responsible for the induction of 92% (N = 11) of the galls and Hymenoptera (N = 1) for 8%. We registered insects of the order Hymenoptera (N = 11) as parasitoids and as successors Hemiptera (N = 8), Acari (N = 7), Psocoptera (N = 4), Hymenoptera (Formicidae, N = 2), Collembola and Thysanoptera (N = 1 each). Two species of Cecidomyiidae with inquiline habit were also obtained, Neolasioptera sp. and Trotteria sp. Five plant species were registered as hosts for cecidomyiids for the first time: Aloysia virgata (Ruiz & Pav.) Juss., Calliandra foliolosa Benth., Myrcia splendens (Sw.) DC., Serjania lethalis A.St.-Hil., and Tapirira guianiensis Aubl. This is the first study of gall characterization, gall makers and associated fauna of the Southeast of the State of São Paulo.
