RESULTS

At PNGSV, 236 males specimens of P. brasiliensis were collected ( Fig. 2 ), of which 159 (67.4% of total) were obtained with light traps ( Fig. 3A ), 75 (31.8% of total) with Malaise traps ( Fig. 3B ) and two (0.8%) with Moerike traps. Therefore, light traps are the most suitable method for the capture of these insects. The large number of males of P. brasiliensis collected using light traps confirms the statements that males of Plumariidae have nocturnal habits and can be collected easily using that kind of trap ( Gauld, 2006; Brothers, 2006; Diez & Roig-Alsina, 2008). All specimens of P. brasiliensis collected with light traps were obtained in the collections carried out in June and September 2018; no specimens of P. brasiliensis were captured in the collections carried out in November 2018 and February 2019.
