Resumen
The distribution and biology of Simuliidae in the province of Alicante, in Eastern Spain, were investigated by collecting from rivers and recording associated environmental data. Fourteen species (Simulium angustipes, Simulium angustitarse, Simulium argyreatum, Simulium bezzii, Simulium cryophilum, Simulium erythrocephalum, Simulium intermedium, Simulium ornatum, Simulium petricolum, Simulium pseudequinum, Simulium reptans, Simulium sergenti, Simulium trifasciatum and Simulium velutinum) were detected in the Algar, Amadorio, Monnegre and Serpis rivers. New data are presented regarding the species which were the most abundant and widely distributed throughout the studied territory. These were: S. intermedium, S. angustitarse and S. cryophilum; while S. argyreatum, S. bezzii, S. angustipes and S. pseudequinum were the least abundant
