Foram compilados, em diversas cole es, os registros de exemplares coletados por F. Plaumann, foi consultada a literatura, e, al¨¦m disso, foram feitas observa es pessoais. Das 17 ordens registradas, Hymenoptera foi a que apresentou a maior riqueza de esp¨¦cies, com 382, sendo que, a fam¨ªlia Formicidae representou 48,42% das esp¨¦cies desta ordem e Apidae 19%. Em Coleoptera foram registradas 230 esp¨¦cies, com Curculionidae representando 22,60% desse total e Coccinelidae 19,13%. Na ordem Lepidoptera foram 199 esp¨¦cies, a fam¨ªlia Nymphalidae representou 37,18% dessa riqueza e Saturniidae 22,11%. total registrado para o Brasil, mas, trata-se de uma etapa importante para ampliar os conhecimentos sobre a distribui o geogr¨¢fica destas esp¨¦cies. In this study is presented a list of 1328 insect species observed in west of Santa Catarina State, Brazil, in the last eight decades. The species richness founds corresponds 1.47 % of the total of species registered in Brazil. The data set was compiled from collection records performed by F. Plaumann, in addition to the records from literature and personal observations. Here, we recorded a total of 17 orders of insects. The order Hymenoptera had greatest richness with 382 species. Within Hymenoptera, the family Formicidae represented 48.42% and Apidae, 19%. In order Coleoptera, we found 230 species, with Curculionidae representing 22.60% of this total and Coccinelidae 19.13%. On the order Lepidoptera we recorded 199 species, the Nymphalidae family represented 37.18% of this richness and Saturniidae, 22.11%. The species richness presented here is minimal when compared to the total recorded for Brazil, but it is an important step to improve the knowledge about the geographic distribution of these insects. %K Distribui o geogr¨¢fica %K Insecta %K Lista de esp¨¦cies %K Riqueza %K Geographical distribution %K Insecta %K List of species %K Richness %U http://www.periodico.ebras.bio.br/ojs/index.php/ebras/article/view/ebrasilis.v6i1.XXX
