Identificación de la entomofauna en el transecto n° 5 parte a cantón Pujilí, provincia Cotopaxi, 2017

The following research aims to observe the compilation of entomofauna of the Parish La Esperanza del Cantón Pujilí. Where the surface of the study is 1ha, dividing into transects located at 812 m.s.n.m, between the coordinates Longitude: 1 ° 00.30,64 "S, Latitude: 79 ° 07,28,29 W. The main objective of the project is to determine the diversity and plenty entomofauna existing within the course No. 5 in the Bosque area, which designation was established by the person in charge of this project. Applying the trapping method to collect insect samples, which were classified and identified in the entomology laboratory, using dichotomous keys. for further application of conservation measures. 1078 individuals, correspondent to 27 families, were collected, determining that 14 families are dominant because they have a greater number of 10 individuals, related to total abundance. The Calliphoridae family was the largest reaching 38.78%. The Shannon index figured at number five through the forest equals 0.5945, which is interpreted as a sector of plenty diversity measured, it is crucial to make emphasis that all families were involved, this information analyzed in the project in the first approximation to the diversity of the entomofauna present in the analyzed forest; However it is recommended to expand the research in relation to the diversity of microfauna in the area.
