Insectos acuáticos biorreguladores de larvas de mosquito presentes en los "Pantanos de Villa", Lima, Perú

RESUMEN

Se colectaron y determinaron los principales insectos acuáticos biorreguladores de larvas de mosquito presentes en distintos reservorios en los "Pantanos de Villa", Lima, Perú, donde encontramos larvas y pupas de mosquito de las especies Culex quinquefasciatus Say y Aedes scapularis Rondani, en acuatorios donde no observamos insectos acuáticos. En aquéllos donde estaban presentes estos efectivos biorreguladores de larvas de mosquito como fueron Ischnura ramburri (Selys), Ceratura capreola (Hagen), Erithrodiplax cleopatra Ris, Aeschna elsia Calvert, Tropisternus dorsalis Brullé, Thermonectes circunscripta Latr, Belostoma asiaticum (Mayr) y Buenoa absidata Truxal, no encontramos larvas de mosquito. Se muestran las especies de insectos acuáticos colectados y las variables físico-químicas del agua en los reservorios investigados.

ABSTRACT

The main aquatic insects bioregulators of mosquitoe larvae living in different reservoirs at the "Pantanos de Villa", Lima, Perú, were collected and determined. Mosquitoe larvae and pupas of the Culex quinquefasciatus Say and Aedes scapularis Rondani species were found in water reservoirs where aquatic insects are not observed. In those where there were these effective bioregulators of mosquitoe larvae such as Ischnura ramburii (Selys), Ceratura capreola (Hagen), Erithrodoplax cleopatra Ris, Aschna elsia Calvert, Tropisternus dorsalis Brullé, Thermonectes circunscripta Lart, Belostoma asiaticum (Mayr), and Buenos absidata Truxal, no mosquitoe larvae were found. The species of the aquatic insects collected in the reservoirs as well as the physical and chemical variables of the water are shown.
