Description

Aquatic beetles have great potential for use as bioindicators in water quality, apart from playing an important role in the trophic chains of aquatic bodies, which makes it important to know their diversity. With the objective of knowing aquatic coleopterofauna of the Peruvian region of Cusco, collections were made in different provinces of the mentioned region; as a result of these surveys 18 species were identified within 13 genera distributed in five families: Dytiscidae, Hydrophilidae, Gyrinidae, Dryopidae and Elmidae; the distribution of the different families covers 12 provinces, of 13 existing in the region, in an altitudinal range that includes between 550 and 4400 meters above sea level.

Los escarabajos acuáticos poseen un gran potencial para su uso como bioindicadores en calidad de aguas, aparte de jugar un rol importante en las cadenas tróficas de los cuerpos acuáticos, lo que hace importante conocer su diversidad. Con el objetivo de conocer coleopterofauna acuática de la región peruana de Cusco, se efectuaron colectas en diferentes provincias de la mencionada región. Como resultado de dichas prospecciones se identificaron 18 especies dentro de 13 géneros, distribuidos en cinco familias: Dytiscidae, Hydrophilidae, Gyrinidae, Dryopidae y Elmidae; la distribución de las diferentes familias abarca 12 provincias, de 13 existentes en la región, en un rango altitudinal que comprende entre los 550 y 4400 msnm.
