Insectos acuáticos del Parque Nacional “Alejandro de Humboldt”, Cuba

Abstract

Se estudiaron los insectos acuáticos del Parque Nacional “Alejandro de Humboldt” como parte de dos expediciones realizadas entre los meses de marzo y abril de 2003. Se encontraron 42 especies pertenecientes a 25 familias y 6 órdenes de la clase Insecta, reportándose por tercera vez para la región oriental de Cuba el género Antillopsyche Banks (Trichoptera: Polycentropodidae) y por segunda y tercera vez respectivamente las especies Austrotinodes cubanus Kumanski, 1987 y Hagenulus (Hagenulus) caligatus (Eaton, 1882). Se cita por segunda vez para la subregión “grupo orográfico de Sagua Baracoa” a Hagenulus (Traverina) oriente Kluge, 1993. Sobre la base del número de individuos y la composición de especies se analizan las diferencias entre los sectores muestreados del Parque, y se comparan los resultados con datos previos de los macizos montañosos Nipe-Sagua-Baracoa y Sierra Maestra. The aquatic insects of the “Alexander Humboldt” National Park, Cuba As part of two expeditions carried out between the months of March and April of 2003, the aquatic insects of the "AlexanderHumboldt" National Park were studied. A total of 42 species were found belonging to 25 families and 6 orders of Insecta. It is the third time the genus Antillopsyche Banks (Trichoptera: Polycentropodidae) has been found in eastern Cuba and the second and third time, respectively, for Austrotinodes cubanus Kumanski, 1987 and Hagenulus (Hagenulus) caligatus (Eaton, 1882). Hagenulus (Traverina) oriente is recorded from the "Sagua Baracoa orographic group" subregion for the second time. Taking into account the number of individuals as well as the species composition, the differences between the samples are analyzed and the results are compared with the previous data from the Nipe-Sagua-Baracoa and Sierra Maestra mountains.
