Resumen:
The species richness and relative abundance of faunes in defined areas ate the raw materials in biodiversity science. The research methodology to acquire these data is inventory, and inventory quality depends on a number of parameters, for example colecting methods, season, and collector experience. To assess the ability of rapid inventory techniques to estimate local richness seven collectors sampled the fauna of true buffs in the Iberá watershed (Corrientes, Argentina) with seven menthods durtin earlu springs, summer, and late summer (December, May, September) of 1 year. Twently-three families, 225 spp. and 4,678 adults were found. We also applied various statistical techniques to correct the observed data for undersampling bias, shich suggested the lower bound of anual heteropteran species richness at Pellegrini was about 250-300 species. Among heteropteran families, the particular inventory methodology was specially efficient in sampling Miridae.
