Resumo: In the Microregion of Campos de Lages, Santa Catarina, the edaphoclimate conditions, associated with the typical vegetation of this region may particularize the foraging behavior of leaf-cutting ants Atta sexdens piriventris, unlike those already reported for other locations.  This work aimed to study the bio-ecology of foraging A. sexdens piriventris naturally occurring in the Microregion of Campos de Lages. Thus, anthills of the species A. sexdens piriventris were randomly located, through morphological characteristics of the individuals, and the appearance with the appearance of superficial tilled soil of the anthills. In each selected anthill, a survey of the preferred plant species for foraging was carried out. Samples of the foraged plant species or vegetative parts were herborized and later classified and identified. The edaphoclimatic characteristics of the Campos de Lages Microregion, particularize the foraging and nesting behavior presented by leaf-cutting ants A. sexdens piriventris. 68 species of plants were identified, distributed in 27 botanical families, among those used for foraging. Plants from the Poaceae and Asteraceae families were the most used in the foraging by ants A. sexdens piriventris, with Baccharis trimera (Asteraceae) being the most foraged. Anthilles A. sexdens piriventris were present preferentially in the edge area of ​​environments.

Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo estudiar la bioecología de A. sexdens piriventris que forrajea de forma natural en la microrregión de Campos de Lages. Así, los hormigueros de la especie A. sexdens piriventris fueron localizados al azar, a través de las características morfológicas de los individuos, y del aspecto con suelo labrado superficial de los hormigueros. En cada hormiguero seleccionado se realizó un estudio de las especies vegetales preferidas para forrajear. Las muestras de las especies vegetales forrajeadas o las partes vegetativas se herborizaron y posteriormente se clasificaron e identificaron. Las características edafoclimáticas de la Microrregión Campos de Lages, particularizan el comportamiento de forrajeo y nidificación que presentan las hormigas cortadoras de hojas A. sexdens piriventris. Se identificaron 68 especies de plantas distribuidas en 27 familias botánicas, entre las que se utilizan para forrajeo. Las plantas de las familias Poaceae y Asteraceae fueron las más utilizadas en la búsqueda de alimento por las hormigas A. sexdens piriventris, siendo Baccharis trimera (Asteraceae) la más recolectada. Hormigueiros de A. sexdens piriventris estuvieron presentes preferentemente en el área de borde de los ambientes.Na Microrregião dos Campos de Lages, Santa Catarina, as condições edafoclímaticas, associadas à vegetação típica desta região podem particularizar o comportamento forrageiro de formigas cortadeiras Atta sexdens piriventris, diferentemente das já relatadas para outros locais.  Este trabalho teve por objetivo a estudar a bioecologia de forrageamento A. sexdens piriventris que ocorrem naturalmente na Microrregião dos Campos de Lages. Desta forma, formigueiros da espécie A. sexdens piriventris foram localizados de forma aleatória, através de características morfológicas dos indivíduos, e da aparência com aspecto de terra lavrada superficial dos formigueiros. Em cada formigueiro selecionado, foi realizado o levantamento das espécies vegetais preferidas para o forrageamento. Amostras das espécies vegetais, ou partes vegetativas forrageadas foram herborizadas e posteriormente classificadas e identificadas. As características edafoclimáticas da Microrregião dos Campos de Lages, particularizam o comportamento forrageiro e de nidificação apresentado por formigas cortadeiras A. sexdens piriventris. Foram identificadas 68 espécies de plantas distribuídas em 27 famílias botânicas, dentre as utilizadas para o forrageio. Plantas das famílias Poaceae e Asteraceae foram as mais utilizadas no forrageamento por formigas A. sexdens piriventris, sendo a espécie Baccharis trimera (Asteraceae) a mais forrageada.
