The Benthic Macroinvertebrates Reference
Collection of the Laboratory Ecology of
Benthos, Institute of Biological Sciences,
Federal University of Minas Gerais was created
in 1997. This collection comprises 16,500
registers from different lotic and lentic
ecosystems in Brazil and other countries. The
taxa (with one or more organisms) are
preserved in tubes, glasses, and wardrobes. In
the tomb notebooks are registered: the
taxonomical identification, origin, collection
method, number of individuals, sample number
and field observations. Besides the
maintenance of the Reference Collection, a
database is being constructed with the benthic
biodiversity information. Up to this moment, the
database has almost 71,000 registers preserved
in 6,000 tubes and in 174 glasses. The
incorporation of new organisms to the
Collection is of c. 7,100 (+ 7,471) organisms per
year. The aquatic insects are the main abundant
and taxonomic diverse in the Collection.
Diptera, Ephemeroptera, and Trichoptera were
the most numerical important groups, with
respectively 37.9%, 16.7%, and 14.5%. Among
the Dipterans, Chironomidae comprises 59
genera.
