          Abstract

          We present the results of the frst survey on the Ceratopogonidae from the “Reserva Natural Integral Punta Lara”, in Buenos Aires province. This protected area represents the southernmost relict of gallery forest where the knowledge of the insect fauna is still limited. Catches were conducted in areas of grassland and marginal forest with Malaise traps, CDC light traps and funnel light traps. A total of 4,195 specimens belonging to nine genera and 39 species of Ceratopogonidae were identifed. A list of the species present in the protected area is provided, along with their distributional data. Twenty-three species are recorded from the reserve for the frst time, while Dasyhelea mediomunda Minaya, Forcipomyia ( Forcipomyia) taragui Marino, Spinelli & Cazorla, Forcipomyia ( Microhelea) fuliginosa (Meigen), Stilobezzia (Eukraiohelea) elegantula (Johannsen) and Stilobezzia (Stilobezzia) punctulata Lane are recorded for the frst time in Buenos Aires province.

          Se presenta el primer relevamiento de Ceratopogonidae de la Reserva Natural Integral Punta Lara, en la provincia de Buenos Aires. Este área protegida representa uno de los relictos más australes de la selva en galería, donde el conocimiento de la fauna de insectos es aún limitado. Las capturas se realizaron en ambientes de pastizal y selva en galería, con trampas Malaise y trampas de luz, tipo CDC y embudo. Un total de 4.195 especímenes pertenecientes a nueve géneros y 39 especies de Ceratopogonidae fueron identifcados. Se brinda un listado de las especies presentes en el área, y se proveen datos de su distribución geográfca. V eintitrés especies se citan en la Reserva por primera vez, mientras que Dasyhelea mediomunda Minaya, Forcipomyia (Forcipomyia) taragui Marino, Spinelli & Cazorla, Forcipomyia (M icrohelea) fuliginosa (Meigen), Stilobezzia (Eukraiohelea) elegantula (Johannsen) y Stilobezzia (Stilobezzia) punctulata Lane se registran por primera vez en la provincia de Buenos Aires.
