You presumably have

192.168.58.146 ankarana.fisica.ufpr.br

or

192.168.58.146 ankarana.fisica.ufpr.br ankarana

in /etc/hosts.

Which is making dnsmasq send ankarana.fisica.ufpr.br to the terminal as
its hostname. If you care you could change that to

192.168.58.146 ankarana ankarana.fisica.ufpr.br


Cheers,

Simon.
