Louse flies (Lipoptena mazamae) are important Gray brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira) parasites, and can be found in large numbers in this mammal. Their distribution is known for just a few locations, and because of this, it is so important to report new records of this association. To contribute with knowledge concerning this parasitism relationship, a record of this fly species parasitizing a deer individual in southern Brazil is reported herein. Such records are paramount, as L. mazamae displays both zoonotic and medical importance, due to the potential propagation of etiological agents that cause diseases. Moreover, as far as we know, this study is only the fifth study that reports this association worldwide, indicating its relevance. It is very important to perform studies as these, because we may contribute to new records of this association of parasitism, therefore, we contribute to alert authorities to the possible association of these parasites with diseases that may pose problems for human and other animal health. Moscas da família Hipoboscidae (Lipoptena mazamae) são parasitos muito importantes do veado-catingueiro (Mazama gouazoubira), podendo ser encontrados em uma considerável abundância nesse mamífero. Sua distribuição é conhecida em apenas alguns locais, e, por causa disso, é muito importante reportar novos registros dessa associação de parasitismo. Para contribuir com o conhecimento dessa associação, é reportado aqui um novo registro dessa mosca parasitando um indivíduo de veado-catingueiro. Esses registros se destacam, pois L. mazamae possui importância médica e veterinária, devido ao seu potencial de veicular agentes etiológicos causadores de doenças. Além disso, depois de nossas pesquisas, concluímos que este é apenas o quinto estudo reportando essa associação no mundo, indicando, portanto, sua relevância. Estudos como este são relevantes, pois contribuem com novos registros dessa associação de parasitismo, e, portanto, pode-se também servir como alerta às autoridades para a possível associação desses parasitos com doenças que podem causar danos à saúde humana e de outros animais.

A new species of Eublaberus (E. serranus sp. nov), also a new record for the genus in Southern Brazil, is described based on the male genitalia. The name Eublaberus variegata is corrected to Eublaberus variegatus Rocha e Silva Albuquerque, and the male of the species is described. Illustrations of the genitalia of the two species mentioned are presented and a key to species is also given.

The PROFAUPAR project (1986–1987) studied insect diversity in the Atlantic rainforest through collections made at eight different sites in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Here, we review and identify the collected neuropterans, carry out a bibliographic review, and compose a list of the Neuroptera species that occur in the state. This study includes 14 new records in Paraná, including the first records of Ascalaphinae (Myrmeleontidae) and a new record of Dilaridae for Brazil. It increases by 29.2% the number of species of Neuroptera known from Paraná. Forty-seven Neuroptera species are now known to occur in the state.

Abstract Necrophagous flies are of great importance for human and animal health. In places where their development occurs, parasitoids can be used as a tool to control these dipterans. In Brazil, the fauna of these parasitoids has been investigated in some regions. However, in Rio Grande do Sul, it is known the occurrence of only one species. Thus, this study aimed to create the first list of parasitoids in flies of medical and veterinary importance in Southern Brazil. Collections took place in the municipality of Pelotas (31º 42’ S; 52º 18’ W). Three replicates consisting of a 500 g bovine liver chunk placed in a tray were exposed to open air for 20 days. Then pupae were individualized and observed until their emergence. We identified 4,882 adult flies of Calliphoridae, Fanniidae, Muscidae, and Sarcophagidae. 4,040 parasitoids emerged, belonging to eight species, of which Nasonia vitripennis, Spalangia cameroni, Spalangia chontalensis, and Tachinephagus zealandicus are new records in Rio Grande do Sul state. Also, three undescribed species of the genus Aphaereta were collected. In spite of being the first attempt to inventory the fauna of hymenopteran parasitoids, this study may help in the development of management programs of these dipterans in the region.

ABSTRACT Hygrocybe conica var. conica and H. nigrescens var. brevispora were collected in the Atlantic Rain Forest of the States of Paraná and Rio Grande do Norte States, respectively. These two taxa were reported in mushroom checklists of Brazil; however, their morphological features and variations have been hitherto poorly documented. Thus, it is provided for the first time a complete description for these two Brazilian varieties. Hygrocybe conica var. conica was reported in the last century for the southeast region, more precisely from the mixed ombrophilous forests of São Paulo State. Presently, this variety is a new record for the seasonal semideciduous forests of Paraná State, southern Brazil. Hygrocybe nigrescens var. brevispora was known from coastal ecosystems of the south and southeast regions; it is also being indicated here as a new record for the northeast region.

Abstract The genus Lipoptena includes hematophagous insects of the family Hippoboscidae that parasitize different deer species. The present study aims to identify 19 flies that parasitize deer of the genus Mazama in the State of Paraná, Brazil. We analyzed 18 flies (Lipoptena mazamae) and 1 Lipoptena guimaraesi. This study expands the host list for L. guimaraesi, previously restricted to a single deer species (Ozotoceros bezoarticus).

Ramboldia, a genus of lichen-forming fungi, is represented by lecideoid species with aLecanora-type ascus and simple and persistently hyaline ascospores. Although probablycommon in Brazilian mycota, species of Ramboldia remains poorly recorded in the country.The collections and analyses of specimens followed the standard protocols in lichenology.Here are reported five new records to two States of Southern Brazil. Ramboldia haematitesare new record to State of Santa Catarina and both, R. heterocarpa and R. russula, are newrecords to Santa Catarina and to State of Paraná. Descriptions, comments, figures and a keyto Brazilian species are given.

A new southernmost record of Thismia panamensis (Standl.) Jonker in Brazil extends the occurrence of this species to the Atlantic Rainforest. This species was found in Parque Estadual Serra da Baitaca, in Paraná state, where other new records of mycoheterotrophic plants have recently been made. The new record highlights the wide distribution of the species, as it occurs in different ecosystems along a significant latitudinal gradient.
