In total, we found 831 morphospecies belonging to 20 arthropod orders. Diversity of arthropods was higher in the rainy season. Acari, Hymenoptera and Diptera orders dominated during the dry season, and Acari and Collembola during the rainy season. Oak species distributed in sites with lower disturbance had significantly higher arthropod diversity than those distributed in disturbed and fragmented sites. Mean density of arthropod fauna ranged from 47.0 individuals m2 in the dry season to 375.5 m2 in the rainy season.

Three genera of the subfamily Doryctinae Foerster, 1862 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) are treated and keyed: Ptesimogaster Marsh, 1965, Caingangia Marsh, 1993, and Leptodoryctes Barbalho \& Penteado- Dias, 1999. The latter genus is characterised by the presence of an apical setal comb on the hind tibia. Two new genera are described: Ptesimogastroides gen. nov. (type species: P. cerdai spec. nov. from French Guiana and Brazil) and Dicarinoryctes gen. nov. (type species: D. apicalis spec. nov. from French Guiana). A further three new species are described: Caingangia delicata spec. nov. from French Guiana, Leptodoryctes barbalhoae spec. nov. from French Guiana, and Ptesimogaster lemkoi spec. nov. from Brazil. Pseudorhoptrocentrus platyfemur (Marsh, 1993) is a new combination.
