Abstract
Siliserh (Siliser)
Lake is a scenic man-made reservoir situated in the Aravalli hills near
Sariska Tiger Reserve. It is also recognized as a Ramsar site to protect the significant biodiversity and rare habitats. Aquatic insects are
valuable as bio indicators of both the health and quality of freshwater systems
because of their diversity, high reproduction rates, short generation periods,
and rapid colonization. In the field research survey total 285 specimens of
entomofauna of 17 species from 10 families were collected. Order coleoptera was
observed maximum abundant followed by Order Lepidoptera, Orthoptera, Hemiptera
and Neuroptera. Maximum species richness was observed from three families
Scarabidae (3 species Order-Coleoptera), Dytiscidae (3 species Order-Coleoptera),
Pentatomidae (3 species Order-Hemiptera), followed by Erabidae (02 species),
single species from Family Gryllidae (Order- Orthoptera), Ascalaphidae (Order-
Neuroptera), Hydrometridae (Order-Hemiptera), Crambidae, Geomatridae and
Noctuidae (Order- Lepidoptera). Digitonthophagus gazelle and Acheta
domesticus were the abundance species with maximum relative abundance of
16.84% and 16.49% respectively.
