Abstract

We provide a checklist of the saproxylic beetles and syrphids species inhabiting the “dehesa” ecosystem from western Iberian. We have studied the Biological Reserve of “Campanarios de Azaba”, Salamanca province, designated in 2013 as the first Entomological Reserve by the “Asociación española de Entomología”. During the 19 months of sampling period a total of 9, 603 specimens of saproxylic beetles belong to 157 species (40 families) and 477 specimens of saproxylic syrphids belonging to 18 species. In order to collect the specimens we used both emergence and window traps. Among the captured insects are ten threatened species either at European and Spanish levels, which maintain abundant populations inhabiting this “dehesa” ecosystem.
