Abstract


La laguna costera Ria de Aveiro es un sistema socioecológico enmarcado entre la tierra y el mar. La laguna se encuadra en un mosaico paisajístico biodiverso compuesto por playas, dunas, marismas, pastos marinos, y pequeños canales de agua, y es una de las zonas de marismas más grandes de Portugal y de Europa, sustentando redes tróficas costeras y proporcionando zonas de cría para varias especies. A pesar de ser un sitio de Investigación Ecológica a Largo Plazo (LTER) y de integrar la red Natura 2000, se han realizado pocos estudios sistemáticos sobre su entomofauna. En este trabajo se realizaron muestreos de campo en siete localidades a lo largo de las marismas de la Ría de Aveiro barriendo con redes la vegetación halófita dominante en septiembre de 2020. De estas colecciones se reporta por primera vez para Portugal Teratocoris antennatus (Boheman, 1852), un raro insecto de las marismas.
