Comportamentos especializado, a??es sofisticadas de comunica??o, meta-cogni??o, intera??o social, orienta??o especial, use de mapas mentais para navega??o e mem?ria espaciais, apontam para tipos diferentes de processamentos consciente em g?neros que n?o o Homo. O presente trabalho busca identificar a auto-percep??o em diferentes esp?cies, com testes do espelho em Callithrix jacchus e com testes de auto-localiza??o em Dinoponera quadriceps. O comportamento de C. jacchus no espelho foi catalogado utilizando dois protocolos diferentes: com marca e sem marca. A capacidade de navega??o de D. quadriceps durante o forrageio, foi calculada considerando tr?s diferentes categorias: (1) acesso livre ao ninho/recurso, (2) acesso direto bloqueado por objeto opaco; e 3) bloqueado por objeto transparente. Nossos resultados apontam para auto-percep??o e mambas as esp?cies, com C. jacchus apresentando comportamentos de verifica??o de conting?ncia, auto-observa??o, al?m de utilizar a imagem refletida para observar o ambiente e reagir a marca. D. quadriceps foram capazes de perceber sua pr?pria localiza??o no ambiente e calcular caminhos curtos at? a col?nia ap?s obter o recurso alimentar, em todos os tr?s tipos de testes. Aqui n?s apresentamos evid?ncia de estados conscientes em outras esp?cies que n?o vertebrados. / Consciousness, as a biological phenomenon, may consists of states of feeling, sensation or awareness. Specialized behaviour, sophisticated actions of communication, metacognition, social interaction, spatial orientation, the use of mental maps for navigation, and spatial memory, all point to conscious processing in genus other than Homo. This work aims to identify self-awareness states in two different species: using mirror self-recognition tests in Callithrix jacchus, and using self-perception tests in Dinoponera quadriceps. Displays of C. jacchus self-recognition using a mirror, were appraised with two protocols: no mark and with mark. D.quadriceps navigational capability displays during foraging trips to food resource, were appraised considering three different tests categories: (1) free access, (2) blocked by opaque object; and 3) blocked by clear object. Our results show self-perception in both studied species. With marmosets displaying contingency check behaviour to the specular image, self-observation, environmental exploration using the mirror as a tool and little, but significant mark reactions. Tocandiras were able to perceive its own location and to calculate short return paths to the colony after obtaining the food resource in all three types of tests. Here we provide further evidence of conscious states for species other than vertebrates.
