  • Contributions to the knowledge of Argentine entomological biodiversity associated with biocontrol research at the FuEDEI Fernando MC KAY Alejandro J. SOSA Biología Taxonomy Entomology Biological pest control The aim of this work is to highlight the contributions of the Fundación para el Estudio de Especies Invasivas (FuEDEI) to the knowledge on insect ecology and biodiversity of Argentina. As a result of 60 pest biocontrol projects conducted since 1962, 22 viruses and one nematode associated with ants, and 63 insect species have been described for Argentina. This work constitutes an example of the interdependence between the disciplines of biocontrol and taxonomy. In 59 % of the descriptions and/or redescriptions presented in this work, at least one Argentine entomologist was involved. This fact is not only a source of pride, but also illustrates the degree of development and excellence achieved by entomology in our country throughout the first 100 years of the SEA. 2025 artículo científico 1851-7471 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=322081497009 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3220/322081497009/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3220/322081497009/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3220/322081497009/322081497009.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3220/322081497009/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3220 Revista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina application/pdf Sociedad Entomológica Argentina Revista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina (Argentina) Num.1 Vol.84
