Abstract

The entomological survey is necessary for the determination of species present in different places to identify and catalog possible insect pests and/or knowledge of the existing entomofauna. The study of the entomofauna of a given location enables decision-making and appropriate measures for the prevention and/or control of insects that may obtain pest status. Among the families of insects of agronomic interest, the Order Lepidoptera presents itself as a potential pest for cultivable plants, in view of the number of species which are hosts. Thus, the present work aimed to identify at the level of families of lepidopterans collected by students in the years 2016, 2017 and 2018 for the discipline IB234- Entomology and Applied Parasitology in different places in the Southeast region. The study site was conducted at the Integrated Center for Pest Management (CIMP) in the Department of Entomology and Phytopathology (DEnF), located at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ). The results found, referring to the three years of collection, family and location, were compared using the χ2 test, with Bioestat v.5 being the software used to carry out the analysis. It was observed that in each evaluated year, 11 families of Lepidoptera were cataloged, and the occurrence of the families Nymphalidae and Sphingidae were the ones that obtained the highest percentage of occurrence in the three years of studies. Regarding the place and year of collection, the municipality of Seropédica and the year 2018 were more intense.
