%X the surveys about entomological biodiversity are scarce for the argentinian humid chaco. in order to contribute to the knowledge of the entomophauna, the transecta sampling method (100x2 m, with 5x2 m sections) was conducted at the localities of pampa del indio (chaco province) and ibarreta (formosa province), during the 2006- 2007 summer, with two transects per site. the specimens were analyzed taxonomically and grouped according to their trophic habits. a total of 1,575 individuals were collected, belonging to 17 orders. hymenoptera was, numerically, the most important order, with 63 % of the captured specimens. the highest diversity corresponded to coleoptera, with 18 families, followed by hymenoptera (12 families). the percentage of complimentary families between both localities was 62%. six trophic groups recognized for insects were present.
