Abstract
Eight geographical areas, considered as representative of the different natural environments still existing in the state of Paraná, in Southern Brazil, were selected for the collection of insects. This data is part of the "Survey of the Entomological Fauna in Paraná State" (henceforth profaupar). These areas were continually sampled using a Malaise trap (Townes' 1972 model) throughout a single year (52 weeks) from August, 1986, until July 1987. The Coleoptera obtained has been sorted at family level and analyzed. The highest family variety and abundance were observed at Jundiaí do Sul and Ponta Grossa, and the greatest eveness at Jundiaí do Sul and Telêmaco Borba. A study ou phytophagous/non phytophagous families relations made possible a first approach about the vegetation condition in the sites. The following methods were used to analyse the data: Ecological Indices (Alpha Diversity) and Clustering and Ordination Analysis (Beta Diversity)
