No. of bitstreams: 1 Disserta??o PRISCILA..pdf: 9406978 bytes, checksum: 9ef87745b0b1d15d67c38991c05b4245 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-01-30 === Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior - CAPES === Alepia Enderlein, 1937 has distribution only in the Neotropical region and so far 52 species are known, 20 of these to the Brazil. In Brazil there are registers in the Amazon region, Atlantic Forest and Caatinga from semi-arid region from Bahia, however nothing is know for other areas such as the Cerrado. Considered a genre of identification difficult due to the complex structure of the male terminalia, it was already confused with other genera of Psychodidae. Currently it is considered more closely related to Platyplastinx Enderlein, 1937. In the attempt to solve part of this problem, the present paper describes again Alepia and proposes a new diagnosis for Platyplastinx. 122 males specimes of Alepia and 8 of Platyplastinx were examined, besides of the type material of some species of Alepia deposited in the Cole??o Entomol?gica Prof. Johann Becker do Museu de Zoologia da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil (MZFS), as well as photographs of type material from international museums. Female specimens were not examined due to difficulties in association. The specimens were treated with 10% KOH, dehydrated, and mounted in permanent slides in Canada balsam, and their structures were photographed, illustrated and characterized. All the material will be deposited in the MZFS and in the Cole??o de Invertebrados do Instituto Nacional de Pesquisa da Amaz?nia, Amazonas, Brazil (INPA). 26 new species of Alepia and four of Platyplastinx are described. Platyplastinx obscura comb. n. is proposed. Two subgenera are created for Alepia (Xus subgen. n., Yus subgen. n.) and taxonomic comments are woven to five species of the genus (A. alcobregma Quate, 1999; A. amputonis Quate & Brown, 2004; A. distincta Bravo, Lago & Castro, 2004; A. eburna Rapp, 1945 and A. symmetrica Wagner & Hribar, 2004). A. maculipennis Bravo, Lago & Castro, 2004 is redescribed and are given three new records of Alepia to Brazil, and new records for some Brazilian states. Catalogs are also provided for the species of Alepia and of Platyplastinx, as well as identification keys to the males of these genera. With this paper, the number of known species of Alepia is elevated from 52 to 78, and of the Platyplastinx, from eight to 13. === Alepia Enderlein, 1937 possui distribui??o apenas na regi?o Neotropical e at? o presente momento s?o conhecidas 52 esp?cies, 20 destas para o Brasil. No Brasil h? registros na regi?o Amaz?nica, Mata Atl?ntica e Caatinga do semi-?rido baiano, entretanto nada se conhece para outras ?reas como o Cerrado. Considerado um g?nero de dif?cil taxonomia devido ? complexa estrutura da genit?lia do macho, j? foi confundido com outros g?neros de Psychodidae. Atualmente ? considerado mais intimamente relacionado ? Platyplastinx Enderlein, 1937. Na tentativa de solucionar parte desta problem?tica, o presente trabalho redescreve Alepia e prop?e uma nova diagnose para Platyplastinx. Examinou-se 122 exemplares machos de Alepia e 8 de Platyplastinx, al?m do material tipo de algumas esp?cies de Alepia depositado na Cole??o Entomol?gica Prof. Johann Becker do Museu de Zoologia da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana (MZFS), bem como fotos de material tipo proveniente de museus internacionais. Exemplares f?meas n?o foram examinados devido ? dificuldades na associa??o. Os esp?cimes foram tratados com KOH 10%, desidratados, e montados em l?minas permanentes sob b?lsamo do Canad?, e suas estruturas fotografadas, ilustradas e caracterizadas. Todo o material ser? depositado no MZFS e na Cole??o de Invertebrados do Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amaz?nia (INPA). 26 novas esp?cies de Alepia e quatro de Platyplastinx s?o descritas. Platyplastinx obscura comb. n. ? proposta. S?o criados dois subg?neros para Alepia (Xus subgen. n., Yus subgen. n.) e coment?rios taxon?micos s?o tecidos para cinco esp?cies do g?nero (A. alcobregma Quate, 1999; A. amputonis Quate & Brown, 2004; A. distincta Bravo, Lago & Castro, 2004; A. eburna Rapp, 1945 e A. symmetrica Wagner & Hribar, 2004). A. maculipennis Bravo, Lago & Castro, 2004 ? redescrita e s?o dados tr?s novos registros de Alepia para o Brasil, e novos registros para alguns estados brasileiros. Tamb?m s?o fornecidos cat?logos para as esp?cies de Alepia e Platyplastinx, bem como chaves de identifica??o para os machos desses g?neros. Com este trabalho, o n?mero de esp?cies conhecidas de Alepia ? elevado de 52 para 78, e o de Platyplastinx de oito para 13.
