“Piolho-de-cobra” (Arthropoda: Chilopoda: Geophilomorpha) na concepção dos moradores de Pedra Branca, Santa Terezinha, Estado da Bahia, Brasil = Piolho-de-cobra (Arthropoda: Chilopoda: Geophilomorpha) as viewed by the inhabitants of Pedra Branca, Santa Terezinha, Bahia State, Brazil

Abstract

O presente artigo registra as concepções, os conhecimentos e os comportamentos que os moradores do povoado de Pedra Branca, no Estado da Bahia, possuem sobre o “piolho-de-cobra” (Chilopoda, Geophilomorpha). Aqui se inaugura um novo ramo da etnozoologia: etnomiriapodologia, que é definido como o estudo transdisciplinar dasrelações seres humanos/miriápodes. Os dados foram obtidos de fevereiro a junho de 2005 por meio de entrevistas abertas e semi-estruturadas realizadas com 24 indivíduos de ambos os sexos, cujas idades variaram de 25 a 86 anos. Foram registrados conhecimentostradicionais relacionados com taxonomia, biologia, hábitat, ecologia, sazonalidade e comportamento. Os resultados mostram que o piolho-de-cobra é classificado como “inseto”. O modo como esse animal se locomove foi bastante comentado. Em Pedra Branca, a maioria dos indivíduos acredita que esse animal é venenoso. Em geral, o conhecimento zoológico tradicional sobre os quilópodes geofilomorfos mostrou-se racionalmente coerente com o conhecimento acadêmico.This paper deals with the conceptions, knowledge and attitudes of the inhabitants of Pedra Branca county, State of Bahia, on the arthropod known as piolho-de-cobra (millipede) (Chilopoda, Geophilomorpha). A new field within ethnozoology is here presented: ethnomyriapodology, defined as the transdisciplinary study of the relationships betweenhuman beings and the myriapods. Data were collected from February to June, 2005 by means of open-ended interviews carried out with 24 individuals whose ages ranged from 25 to 86 years old. Some traditional knowledge regarding this millipede taxonomy, biology,habitat, ecology, seazonality, and behavior were recorded. Results show that this centipede is classified as an “insect”. The way it moves was highly commented, as well as the fact that this animal is considered “poisonous”. In general, the traditional zoological knowledge of the inhabitants of Pedra Branca concerning the geophilomorph centipede is rationally coherent with the academic knowledge.
