“…In Algeria, some works are published on the apricot: Chaouia (1987), on the varietal behaviour of the species in the Boufarik experimental station (Blida Department), Bouzidi (1990) in Batna Department, Derias (1984), Benabbes (1990) and Achourri (1991) in the region of Ain Touta and on apricot berry dieback in the N'Gaous region, Chafaa (1992) in the region of Ouled Si Slimane on the ecological biology of apricot zoocoenosis. Numerous are the publications on this subject also in other countries (see, for example: Ivanova, 1991Ivanova, , 2006Dér et al, 2003;Bonsignore et al, 2008). This work has the main objective to highlight apricot entomofauna subservient to the agro-systems in Ouled Si Slimane orchards.…”

Researches carried out in the past years allowed to list an entomofauna that lives on the apricot orchards, Prunus armeniaca L. (Rosales Rosaceae), in Ouled Si Slimane (Batna Department, Algeria). The investigated period was from October 2014 until May 2015. The sampling techniques used were: hunting in sight, barber pots, colorful traps, entomological umbrella and the filleting net. We have identified a total of 125 species divided into 9 orders and 54 families in which Coleoptera and Hymenoptera were quantitatively represented. The phytophagous were the most present. Its Shannon Value exceeds 4.5 Bits and indicates a Specific Richness of the insects and diversification of ecological niches in this kind of fauna.
