Except for some ecological studies and species records confined to entomological collections, no list of species exists for the subfamily in the State of Rio de Janeiro or even in Brazil. Since we have conducted extensive research in a protected area in the state and have accumulated considerable biological information on

For documentation of species’ natural history and host plants, data assembled from field expeditions during different research projects conducted at Serra dos Órgãos National Park (
The park covers an area of 20,024 ha of well-preserved Atlantic Rain Forest (see
Species were sampled by a combination of manual collecting, sweep nets and malaise traps, during the conduction of other projects with
The
The findings presented here also revealed a high diversity of species and genera, typical for the Atlantic rain forest, in comparison to other studies in South and Central America.
Species were recorded from only 17 (18.5%) of the state’s municipalities, and 62 species were known from only one location (Table
A total of 43 species were recorded from Serra dos Órgaõs National Park (Table

Maternal care was not recorded for any species in this study, although subsocial behavior is known in the subfamily for several species, including some
Seven oviparous and seven larviparous species were found, most being new records of reproductive biology (Table

The high proportion of new host, biological data and occurrence records in Rio de Janeiro reflects the limited knowledge we have about this subfamily in this immediate area. In Brazil, the picture is not very different, as no inventory for the subfamily has been compiled and the relatively few published records come from ecological studies such as
