ABSTRACT
The objective of this work was to evaluate the forest restoration of Guapiaçu river basin in Macacu,
RJ, using the families of coleobrocas as tools for environmental assessment. We analyzed the
fluctuation of the families of Coleoptera: Cerambycidae, Lyctidae, Anobiidae, Bostrichidae and
Curculionidae. Six sampling points were arranged along the river, five points being inferred in
reforestation carried out in the basin and a point in the control area of natural regeneration the
amount of Guapiaçu river. The collection period started in January 2013, and ended in December
2015. Through quali-quantitative data, there is a greater population density of sub-family
Scolytinae in periods of high temperature and humidity and areas more populated by pioneer
species used in forest restoration. After the end of the monitoring period, we proposed a model
of environmental assessment through the frequency of occurrence of families of coleobrocas
collected in forest fragments.
Keywords: forest entomology, conservation of natural areas, ecology of forest ecosystems.
