The perlids, insects of the order Plecoptera (Perlidae) are part of the groups of semi-aquatic insects. It includes about 3,926 species in 17 families distributed throughout the world. In Brazil there are two families, Perlidae and Gripopterygidae. Taxonomic and entomological studies of this order for the North region are still recent, although researchers have made efforts in ecological studies using the species as a bioindicator. In this regard, the objective of this work is to verify the composition of pearlid species present in Igarapé Cocal, in Serra do Tepequém, which is an important tourist location in the state of Roraima. The material was collected between 2014 and 2021 with passive traps of the Malaise type and with light traps on the banks of streams; transported and deposited at the Laboratory of Entomology-LABENT of the Federal University of Roraima-UFRR. As a result, an article was published on new records of species of the genus Anacroneuria, records for Roraima and Brazil; description of a new species for Macrogynoplax. Finally, description of a possible new species for the genus Anacroneuria. Information pertaining to insects was also simplified to compose the booklet for the dissemination and popularization of science in partnership with SESC's Estância Ecológica, as a publicized product.
