Abstract
The main entomologic fauna of La Cana river basin, in Puerto Padre Municipality, from Las Tunas province was determined. In that way samplings in viands, vegetables, grains and grasses were developed; the forests of Charco Largo, Monte Palomar and Malagueta and the spontaneous vegetation in more than 50% of the riverbanks extension of rivers Naranjo, Vázquez and Yarey were also selected. The preliminary quantification of the entomologic fauna in the basin was of 137 main insects species, distributed in 54 families and 12 orders. From them, 100 constitutes agricultural plagues, 19 species belonging to 9 families and four orders are enemy natural of nine species of two order that are included in those that constitute plagues in 101 botanical species dedicated to the agricultural production, forest coastal formations, fruits, different wild plants or other species of spineless, two beneficial species for their biological productions (honey, wax and propolis) and 18 species with diverse levels of importance according to their behaviour.
