Entomophages are considered one of the most important crop pest regulators. Thus, predatory bugs of the subfamily Asopinae -Perillus bioculatus Fabr., Podisus maculiventris Say, Oplomus nigripennis var. pulcher Dull. and parasitic flies Doroforofaga have been introduced to control the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say), a super-dominant species, damaging the ground part of potato in several European countries. In this paper, the species composition of the insect fauna of pota
