New records and taxonomic notes on Anacroneuria and Macrogynoplax (Plecoptera: Perlidae) from Western Pará, Brazil
Aiming to expand knowledge of the diversity and distribution of Plecoptera (Insecta) in the Eastern Amazon, a survey was conducted through the collection of immature and adult specimens in six municipalities in the state of Pará, Brazil, between September 2022 and April 2025. The known distribution of the taxon was supplemented with information from an online bibliographic database on Plecoptera for the study region. Only one family, Perlidae, was recorded, encompassing two genera, seven species, and three morphospecies (Anacroneuria manauensis Ribeiro-Ferreira, 2001, A. marlieri Froehlich, 2001, A. minuta Klapálek, 1922, A. singularis Righi-Cavallaro & Lecci, 2010, Macrogynoplax anae Ribeiro & Rafael, 2007, M. delicata Ribeiro-Ferreira & Froehlich, 1999, M. pulchra Ribeiro-Ferreira & Froehlich, 1999, and A. sp. AB4, AB5, and AB8, Ribeiro & Gorayeb, 2016). Macrogynoplax anae is a new record from the state of Pará. Of the total registered, eight represent new registrations for one or more of the following municipalities: Belterra, Mojuí dos Campos, Óbidos, Oriximiná, Santarém, and Terra Santa. This study expanded the known distribution of Plecoptera and helped reduce the Wallacean shortfall in the eastern Amazon, a region still under-sampled for aquatic insects.

Diversidade e funcionalidade da fauna edáfica no campus vi da Universidade do Estado do Pará no município de Paragominas no estado do Pará
A fauna edáfica em áreas urbanas sofre alterações quantitativas e qualitativas nas comunidades que dantes existiam nas áreas atualmente modificadas. O objetivo desse estudo foi a identificação de fauna na área interna do Campus VI, da Universidade do Estado do Pará, Paragominas, Pará. O método aplicado foi o delineamento inteiramente casualizados, com abrangência quantitativa, com amostragem da pedofauna em cinco pontos distintos dessa área, para identificação taxonômica, cálculo dos Índices de Shannon-Wiener e Simpson. Os dados indicaram que, em A2-P2, a vegetação e escassa e esparsa, e a radiação solar varia ao longo do dia, logo, ao valor de H’(1,0451), indicou uma menor probabilidade dos individuos pertencerem a mesma espécie (D = 0, 7096), sem distribuição uniforme deles (Ej = 1,2824); em A4-P4, área posterior ao portão de acesso, a vegetação já se apresenta mais abundante, com variações entre arbustivos e arbóreos, logo, menor intensidade solar e com mais retenção de umidade no solo devido ao crescimento de gramíneas, e isso provocou maior diversidade de indivíduos (H’= 1,8651), a maior probabilidade dos indivíduos pertencerem a mesma espécie (D = 0,7096) e uniformidade na distribuição dos indivíduos (J= 0,5203). Nas áreas onde as unidades arquitetônicas foram soerguidas, as comunidades apresentaram tendências a menores diversidades (H’ = 1,0886; Ej = 0,3037). Portanto, o processo de urbanização, mesmo em áreas privadas, tem ações efetivas sobre as comunidades da fauna edáfica e pode anular a funcionalidade delas tanto na manutenção da fisiologia do solo quanto do processo nutricional e reprodutivo dessa fauna.

Two new species of Flintiella Angrisano 1995 (Trichoptera: Hydroptilidae: Stactobiini) from northern Brazil
Two new species of Flintiella Angrisano 1995 are described and illustrated from specimens collected with light traps in the states of Pará and Roraima, northern Brazil. Flintiella serrana sp. nov. can be distinguished from all other species in the genus by the subgenital plate with incised apex, and two pairs of ventral processes. Flintiella triaena sp. nov. is distinctive with no clearly similar congeners and can be distinguished from all known species in the genus by the trident-like subgenital plate in ventral view. Additionally, we record the genus Flintiella for the first time in Roraima State.

Checklist of the Plecoptera of Brazilian Amazon (Insecta: Plecoptera: Perlidae)
The species diversity of the Plecoptera of the Brazilian Amazon is still little known, although some localities have been relatively well-studied. A preliminary list of 27 valid Plecoptera species, based on collections from 66 different localities is presented. Additional efforts to collect Plecoptera at new sites should considerably increase the number of recorded species of Amazonian.
