description Boyacá is one of the departments with the bigger production of yellow pitahaya in the country. There are very few studies realized on this culture, therefore the knowledge of its entomofauna is a departure point to realize new investigations, in order to identify the entomofauna associated with the yellow pitahaya culture, specially in the Briceño municipality of Boyacá department. This investigation was carried out in the pitahaya plantations in three farms. Samplings were realized using active methods, such as manual direct capture, use of network, entomological vacuum cleaner and passive methods using traps with attractives and traps of fall. The collected insects were killed by lethal chamber and then were mounted in pins for later identification under the stereoscope and with taxonomic clues. In the three farms were identified 9 orders and 58 families, of which the orders Hymenóptera and Dipteral showed the major quantity of beneficial families. At the San Pablo farm was observed the highest quantity of insects and also it was the only plantation where it was found the most restrictive pest for this culture, called Dasiops saltans (fly of the flower bud). The number of families that were found present during sampling, was more influenced by the agronomic practices implemented in each farm, than by the climatological variables, such as temperature, relative humidity and precipitation.

Pitahaya Entomofauna Manejo Agronómico. Boyacá is one of the departments with the bigger production of yellow pitahaya in the country. There are very few studies realized on this culture, therefore the knowledge of its entomofauna is a departure point to realize new investigations, in order to identify the entomofauna associated with the yellow pitahaya culture, specially in the Briceño municipality of Boyacá department. This investigation was carried out in the pitahaya plantations in three farms. Samplings were realized using active methods, such as manual direct capture, use of network, entomological vacuum cleaner and passive methods using traps with attractives and traps of fall. The collected insects were killed by lethal chamber and then were mounted in pins for later identification under the stereoscope and with taxonomic clues. In the three farms were identified 9 orders and 58 families, of which the orders Hymenóptera and Dipteral showed the major quantity of beneficial families. At the San Pablo farm was observed the highest quantity of insects and also it was the only plantation where it was found the most restrictive pest for this culture, called Dasiops saltans (fly of the flower bud). The number of families that were found present during sampling, was more influenced by the agronomic practices implemented in each farm, than by the climatological variables, such as temperature, relative humidity and precipitation. Boyacá es uno de los departamentos con mayor producción de pitahaya amarilla en el país. Los estudios realizados sobre este cultivo son muy pocos, y el conocimiento de la entomofauna asociada a él es un punto de partida para realizar nuevas investigaciones que permitan identificar la entomofauna asociada a este cultivo en el municipio de Briceño (Boyacá). El desarrollo de esta investigación se llevó a cabo en plantaciones de pitahaya en tres fincas del municipio de Briceño (Boyacá). Se realizaron muestreos empleando métodos activos, como captura manual directa, uso de red y aspirador entomológico, y métodos pasivos, como trampas con atrayentes y trampas  de caída. Los insectos colectados se sometieron a cámara letal y luego se montaron en alfileres para su posterior identificación con ayuda del estereoscopio y claves taxonómicas. En las tres fincas se identificaron un total de 9 órdenes y 58 familias, y los órdenes Hymenóptera y Díptera se reportaron con la mayor cantidad de individuos benéficos. En la finca San Pablo se observó la mayor cantidad de insectos, también fue la única en donde se evidenció la presencia de la plaga más limitante para este cultivo, que es Dasiops saltans (mosca del botón floral). La cantidad de familias presentes en los muestreos se ve influenciada más por el manejo agronómico implementado en cada finca que por las variables climatológicas, como temperatura, humedad relativa y precipitación.
