Couverture géographique

The sampling area of this work is delimited by the current administrative boundaries of the Brazilian territory. Many species are from the Atlantic Forest and “Cerrado” vegetation in Central Brazil, part of the Amazon Forest and the Restinga areas in the South Coast of São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul states.  We found specimens of immatures of Coleoptera described from 15 states and the Federal District and 137 counties. As most of the papers used to compose this dataset did not present the exactly geographical coordinates of the localities, the geo referencing of the localities was made using the geoLoc tool , a tool developed by CRIA to assist biological collections in geo referencing their data. Their database includes approximately 750,000 of Brazilian names localities.  

Couverture taxonomique

According to Bouchard et al. (2011) about 125 families of Coleoptera occurs in Brazil and just a tiny number of immatures are known. This dataset corresponds to more than 9,486 specimens of 248 genera, 282 species and 4 subspecies of 76 families (which included eggs, larvae, pupae, pre-pupae and their exuviae) of immatures of Coleoptera that were described from Brazil. The identifications and classification of the taxa were made by the authors of each publication. We claim no responsibility for any potential misidentification in the data provided in this dataset.

Couverture temporelle

Méthodes d'échantillonnage

The time span of the online search is from 1864 to the current year of 2017 (February) and a total of 127 publications were used to compose this dataset. We have also consulted the literature published by Costa and collaborators, which include 27 scientific articles dealing with the specimens of the MZUSP collection in a series entitled “Larvae of Neotropical Coleoptera” and a book on the “Larvas de Coleoptera do Brasil”, in 1988 (Costa et al. 1988). Although numerous immature descriptions in many publications were made based on correlation with adults in field or posterior association most of the specimens of Costa and collaborators were reared in laboratory under controlled conditions, thus ensuring a high level of certainty in the identification of immature beetles.

Description des étapes de la méthode:

1. The bibliographic survey was made by means of The Zoological Record Online version which is an electronic index of Zoological literature. The terms used in the online searches were several combinations of the following key words: Coleoptera, Immature, Imaturos, Immatures, Larvae, Larva, Pupa, Pupae, Brazil, Brasil, Beetles, Besouros.
