Abstract

In addition to the Survey of the Entomological Fauna in Parana State, the Ctenuchidae were studied in its ecological and faunistic aspects. The material was collected using one light trap installed in eight different sites of the State: Antonina, Sao Jose dos Pinhais, Colombo, Ponta Grossa, Telemaco Borba, Jundiai do Sul, Guarapuava and Fenix, from October 1986 to September 1987. The total number of specimens and means values of capture were analyzed. Indices of diversity and evenness were used to discuss richness and dominance of species in each locality. Besides using ecological indices, the data were also compared by Clustering Analysis, Principal Coordinate Analysis and Linear Correlation Coefficient. The results were compared with meteorological and floristic conditions in the eight localities. Faunistic data gathered in these sites were compared.
