INVENTORY OF INVERTEBRATES OF VITORIA-GASTEIZ
Taking all the studies carried out at a local and regional level as the bibliographical basis, a
partial inventory has been drawn up of invertebrate species whose presence has been detected
in the municipality. Likewise, other sources of information such as the Invertebrates Red Book
of Spain and the Atlas of Threatened Invertebrates of Spain (critically endangered and
endangered species) have been analysed.
It should be noted that the data presented here are the results of a review of the specific studies
carried out to date in the municipality and represent a mere approximation to the local
biodiversity with regard to invertebrate species. No attempt has been made to assess the total
number of invertebrates that exist in the municipality or to compare this with the situation in the
Basque Community, but we have tried to reflect the enormous diversity and originality of
invertebrate species in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
So much so that the Carabida order, one of the most widely studied communities of coleopters
in the municipality, represents one of the groups of greatest interest for conservation at a state
level, with 108 species.
Having analysed a small portion of the total invertebrates that inhabit the municipality, there
follows a list of the 9 endangered or protected species (according to the State Catalogue of
Endangered Species, the Red Book of Invertebrates of Spain and Directive 92/43/CEE of the
Council relating to the conservation of natural habitats and wild flora and fauna).

species. Of the total exotic species of invertebrates of the Basque Community, there follows a
list of those invertebrates whose presence in the municipality is proven and in addition to being
