ABSTRACT This paper deals with the survey of Lepidoptera occurring in a wood composed by the following tree species: Schizolobium parahyba (guapuruvu), Esenbeckia leiocarpa (guarantã), Caesalpinia ferrea (pau-ferro), Piptadenia gonoacantha (pau-jacaré), Nectandra rigida (canela), Anadenathera sp. (angico), Carinana legalis (jequitibá), Melia azedarach (cinamomo), Spathodea campanulata (espatódea) and Eucalyptus saligna. The collections were made weekly using light traps from April 1997 to May 1998. The insect families collected were: Geometridae (49.2%), Noctuidae (19.7%), Pyralidae (7.6%), Notodontidae (6.7%), Amatidae (5.3%), Arctiidae (5.3%), Sphingidae (2.3%), Lymantriidae (1.4%), Saturniidae (0.8%), Stenomidae (0.7%), Megalopygidae (0.5%), and Dalceridae (0.5%). Among the identified species there were observed forest pests such as: Glena sp., Oxydia sp., Oxydia vesuliata (Geometridae), Sarsina violascens (Lymantriidae), Automeris amphirene, Dirphia sp., Eacles imperialis, and Hylesia sp.

RESUMO Realizaram-se no período de abril de 1997 a maio de 1998, coletas semanais de lepidópteros, através de armadilhas luminosas na Estação Experimental de Tupi, em Piracicaba, SP. As armadilhas foram instaladas em áreas de mata, na qual as espécies predominantes eram: guapuruvu (Schizolobium parahyba), guarantã (Esenbeckia leiocarpa), pau-ferro (Caesalpinia ferrea), pau-jacaré (Piptadenia gonoacantha), canela (Nectandra rigida), angico (Anadenanthera sp.), jequitibá (Cariniana legalis), cinamomo (Melia azedarach), espatódea (Spathodea campanulata) e Eucalyptus saligna. Foram coletados lepidópteros pertencentes às seguintes famílias: Geometridae (49,2%), Noctuidae (19,7%), Pyralidae (7,6%), Notodontidae (6,7%), Amatidae (5,3%), Arctiidae (5,3%), Sphingidae (2,3%), Lymantriidae (1,4%), Saturniidae (0,8%), Stenomidae (0,7%), Megalopygidae (0,5%) e Dalceridae (0,5%). Dentre as espécies identificadas, observaram-se algumas cujas lagartas são desfolhadoras de importância florestal: Glena sp., Oxydia sp.1, Oxydia vesuliata (Geometridae), Sarsina violascens (Lymantriidae), Automeris amphirene, Dirphia sp., Eacles imperialis e Hylesia sp.
