The main aquatic insects bioregulators of mosquitoe larvae living in different reservoirs at the "Pantanos de Villa", Lima, Perú, were collected and determined. Mosquitoe larvae and pupas of the Culex quinquefasciatus Say and Aedes scapularis Rondani species were found in water reservoirs where aquatic insects are not observed. In those where there were these effective bioregulators of mosquitoe larvae such as Ischnura ramburii (Selys), Ceratura capreola (Hagen), Erithrodoplax cleopatra Ris, Aschna elsia Calvert, Tropisternus dorsalis Brullé, Thermonectes circunscripta Lart, Belostoma asiaticum (Mayr), and Buenos absidata Truxal, no mosquitoe larvae were found. The species of the aquatic insects collected in the reservoirs as well as the physical and chemical variables of the water are shown.
