The Sturge-Weber syndrome is, in its complete form, the association of ocular, cutaneous and cerebral anomalies. From the clinical point of view, it is characterized by a wine-color spot on the face, epilepsy, mental retardation, other neurological deficit manifestations and glaucoma. We presented the case of a male, black patient, aged 9 years, who was born by eutocic delivery, with 4 200 g weight, and perinatal symptoms of cyanosis, finding several facial hemangioma from the moment of birth. At the physical examination, it was confirmed on the face and crania, evasive forehead with facial hemangioma or choroidal hemangioma, left unilateral glaucoma, micrognathia. Dental malocclusion was stated and clinodactyly of the fifth finger. Besides that, he has an asymmetric trunk, severe mental retardation and tonic-clonic convulsive episodes frequently repeated. Taking into account all these elements we began to suspect the possible diagnosis of a Sturge-Weber syndrome.

El síndrome de Sturge-Weber consiste, en su forma completa, en la asociación de anomalías cerebrales, cutáneas y oculares. Desde el punto de vista clínico, se caracteriza por una mancha color vino en la cara, epilepsia, retraso mental, otras manifestaciones neurológicas deficitarias y glaucoma. Se presentó el caso de un paciente de 9 años de edad, masculino, piel negra, producto de parto eutócico, con peso de 4 200 g y antecedentes patológicos perinatales de cianosis, constatándose desde el nacimiento varios hemangiomas faciales. Al examen físico se confirma en cara y cráneo, una frente huidiza con presencia del hemangioma facial o hemangioma coroideo, glaucoma unilateral izquierdo, micrognatia. Se precisó mala oclusión dentaria, y en las extremidades superiores una clinodactilia del quinto dedo. Además, tiene el tronco asimétrico, retraso mental severo y aparecen cuadros convulsivos tónico-clónicos que repiten frecuentemente. Teniendo en cuenta todos estos elementos se comienza a sospechar el posible diagnóstico de un síndrome de Sturge-Weber.

O Pampa é o único bioma Brasileiro que ocorre em apenas um estado. Além de formações campestres, possui uma variedade de ecossistemas associados. Este trabalho tem como objetivo realizar um inventário das borboletas do Parque Natural Municipal de Uruguaiana, contribuindo com o conhecimento deste grupo de insetos desta região. Foram percorridas três transecções em cada ocasião amostral: Mata Ciliar (MC), Margem do Rio Uruguai (MR), e Campo Sujo (CS). Após quatro amostragens ao longo de um ano e um total de 99 horas-rede de esforço amostral foram registradas 46 espécies, ocorrendo dois registros novos para o Rio Grande do Sul e um registro novo para o Brasil.

"Pampa" is the Brazilian biome that occurs in only one state. Besides grasslands formation, this biome has a variety of other ecosystems This work aimed to inventory the butterflies of the Parque Natural Municipal de Uruguaiana, contributing to the knowledge of this group of insects in this region. Three transects were covered in each sampling occasion: riparian forest (MC), margin of Uruguay river (MR) and grasslands (CS). After four samples along one year and a total of 99 net-hours of sampling effort 46 species were recorded, including two new records for Rio Grande do Sul and one new record for Brazil.

O escorpião amarelo Tityus serrulatus é registrado pela primeira vez para oeste do Rio Grande do Sul. Foram coletados dois espécimes no município de Uruguaiana (29° 45' 23'' S e 57° 05' 37'' W) em junho de 2006. A ocorrência dos espécimes de T. serrulatus no Rio Grande Sul representa um aumento de 2.127 km em sua área de distribuição conhecida.

The yellow scorpion Tityus serrulatus is recorded for the first time for the western Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Two specimens were collected in the municipality of Uruguaiana (29° 45' 23'' S and 57° 05' 37'' W) in june 2006. The occurrence of specimens of T. serrulatus in Rio Grande do Sul represents an increase of 2127km in relation to his known distribution area.

The recruitment period of Locariichthys platymetopon (Isbrucker & Nijssen, 1979) was investigated. It has been found out, through the data analysis, that the gonadal condition factor is a good indicator of the reproductive period and that the hepatossomatic index is probably related to the storage of reservation for the winter period. The recruitment occurred in November coinciding with the reproductive activity of May.
