Abstract: In this study, new information will be presented about the use of Gochnatia barrosii Cabrera as nesting material for Isodontia costipennis Spinola 1851 at the Unilavras Biological Reserve – Boqueirão (RBUB). Collections were carried out in three different RBUB environments: cerrado grassland, forest edge and high-altitude grasslands. Sampling was conducted using trap nests. A total of 67 trap nests established by I. costipennis were collected. Of those, 37 were in the cerrado grassland, 26 in the forest edge and four in the high-altitude grasslands. As for the abundance of G. barrosii, a total of 994 individuals were recorded in the three study areas – 451 in the cerrado grassland, 344 in the forest edge and 199 in the high-altitude grasslands. I. costipennis showed a strong tendency to use parts of G. barrosii in nest-building. However, more detailed studies should be conducted to evaluate whether this behavior is a characteristic of the species or is determined by the environment.
