Abstract
Eight localities were selected as representative sites to survey the entomofauna of Parana State, Brazil: 1) Antonina (Sapitanduva); 2) Sao Jose dos Pinhais (Serra do Mar); 3) Colombo (Embrapa); 4) Ponta Grossa (Vila Velha); 5) Telemaco Borba (Reserva Biologica Klabin); 6) Jundiai do Sul (Fazenda Monte Verde); 7) Guarapuava (Santa Clara) and 8) Fenix (Reserva de Vila Rica). Floristic and meteorological conditions in these sites were registered and compared. One Malaise and one light trap were installed in each site. The insects were collected during two years, from August 1986 to July 1988. Only the material obtained during the first year has been sorted at insect order level and analyzed. The quantitative faunistic data were transformed in percentages and monthly densities for the analysis. Comparisons among collecting sites were established based on the faunistic and climatic data. The following methods were used to analyze the data: Clustering Analysis, Principal Coordinate Analysis and the Linear Correlation Coefficient.
