Inventory, Polistinae, Semideciduous Seasonal Forest, social insectsAbstract
Social wasps are insects that provide different ecosystem services, which justifies the dedicated effort to better understand the distribution and occurrence of these insects in Brazil, intensified from the beginning of the 21st century, however, there are still under-sampled areas in some states, such as Paraná, without information for one of the largest conservation units for the protection of the Atlantic Forest in the interior of Brazil, the Iguaçu National Park. Considering that conservation units are the main tool for the conservation of biota in Brazil and that the Atlantic Forest biome is a hotspot of biodiversity, the objective of this study was to list the social wasp species occurring in the Atlantic Forest at the Iguaçu National Park, West of the state of Paraná, as well as to expand the information on the richness of these insects in the state. The study was conducted from September 2021 to May 2022, in the municipalities of Capanema, Céu Azul and Foz do Iguaçu, totaling 198 hours of sampling in 33 days. Twenty-nine species were recorded at PARNA Iguaçu, with six new records for the state of Paraná, Brazil. Therefore, this National Park is home to an important fauna of social wasps in the state of Paraná, which reaffirms the importance of this conservation unit as an instrument for protecting the Brazilian biota
