Résumé

This work is the first attempt to integrate into one list and quantify all the known species of Guadeloupean insects. It includes all the species known to us to be reported for the island of Guadeloupe until the 31st of December 2019. A total of 3097 valid species are listed, of which the largest component is the beetles (1447 species). Preliminarily, 632 species (20%) are considered to be strictly endemic to Guadeloupe, and 250 species are recognized as adventive or introduced. The bibliography complements the taxonomic information and includes over 350 titles. Brief annotations are also given on the history of entomology in Guadeloupe. This list includes four new island records for Guadeloupe: Azeta rhodogaster Guenée, 1852 (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), Eudocima apta (Walker, 1857) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), Urania leilus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Uraniidae) and Micronotus quadriundulatus (Redtenbacher, 1892) (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae), all recently collected in Guadeloupe.
