Abstract It is estimated about 4.000 e 6.000 species of heteropterans in Brazil, however, the knowledge on the regionals fauna composition is still underestimated. For the state of São Paulo, the scenario is not different. The state of São Paulo has the largest remaining area of Atlantic Rain Forest in Brazil, which has high levels of species richness and endemisms. The environmental heterogeneity of the Atlantic Rain Forest, including topography, temperature, humidity, soil and radiation variations, fostering high diversity of species niches. The main goal of this work is to study terrestrial heteropterans diversity in a preserved Atlantic Forest area and to identify the environmental variables that influence the diversity itself. As secondary objective, to generate identification keys for the group of the Serra do Japi. (AU) | |
