Eating habit makes the arthropods to move around in search for hunting or building traps with silk threads. In order to know the araneofauna of the Godoy¡¯s Forest State Park, pitfall-like traps were installed inside the forest, edge and adjacent area predominantly grassy. Collections were carried out fortnightly, in the period of a year, separating what was collected during the day and during the night. One hundred and twenty-one individuals were collected, belonging to 18 families where Lycosidae and Theridiidae were the most abundant, although Lyniphiidae family has prevailed in the forest area. Young individuals prevailed. It is concluded that the highest frequency and abundance of young individuals may be directly related to its dispersal and spiders belonging to the Lycosidae, Zoridae and Theridiidae families, being able to be used as bioindicators. Os aracn¨ªdeos comp em um grupo exclusivamente predador. O h¨¢bito alimentar faz com que o artropoda locomova-se em busca da ca a ou construa armadilhas com fios de seda. Buscando conhecer a araneofauna do Parque Estadual Mata dos Godoy, foram instaladas armadilhas tipo ptiffal dentro da mata, borda e ¨¢rea adjacente, com vegeta o predominantemente formada por gram¨ªneas. As coletas eram realizadas quinzenalmente, no per¨ªodo de um ano, separando o coletado em diurno e noturno. Foram coletados 121 indiv¨ªduos, pertencentes a 18 fam¨ªlias, das quais as fam¨ªlias Lycosidae e Theridiidae foram as mais abundantes, embora a fam¨ªlia Lyniphiidae tenha predominado na ¨¢rea de mata. Houve maior freq¨¹¨ºncia de indiv¨ªduos jovens. Conclui-se que a maior freq¨¹¨ºncia e abundancia de indiv¨ªduos jovens pode estar diretamente relacionada a sua dispers o e, al¨¦m disso, as aranhas pertencentes as fam¨ªlias Lycosidae, Zoridae e Theridiidae, podem ser utilizadas como bioindicadores. %K Araneae %K Diversidade %K Ptifall. %U http://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/seminabio/article/view/3451
