Abstract

ABSTRACTThis work presents the first list of Coleoptera species found in Hohenbergia augusta (Vell.) E. Morren and Vriesea friburgensis Mez. (Bromeliaceae), in Santa Catarina state, Brazil, most of them identified to the species level. Beetle species richness and composition were compared between the bromeliad species and between Atlantic forest and restinga habitats. Biological information on some beetle species is reported for the first time. We also discuss the aquatic habit of the hydrophilid Lachnodacnum luederwaldti Orchymont, 1937 (Sphaeridinae) inside bromeliad phytotelms.
