The fauna associated with Attalea butyracea was studied in an agroecosystem of Galeras, Sucre, Colombia. Samplings were carried out during June 2016 in the farm Mi Ranchito, where 42 palms were checked. From the palms, arthropods were extracted and vertebrates were searched for. Subsequently, the material was identified and 13 orders were recorded with appearance frequencies and abundances as follows: Hymenoptera (100%; 232), Coleoptera (97.62%; 240), Araneae (95.24%; 169), Blattodea (88.09%; 143), Hemiptera (88.09%; 82), Amblypygi (85.71%; 166), Polydesmida (78.57%; 103), Lepidoptera (73.81%; 69), Archaeognatha (71.43%; 81), Orthoptera (69.04%; 31), Scorpiones (69.04%; 30), Ixodida (66.66%; 34) and Opiliones (66.66%; 57). Eighteen species were identified as follows: Arachnida: Charinus sp ., Hapalopus sp ., Phrynus barbadensis and Tityus tayrona ; Insecta: Phileurus sp ., Rhodnius pallescens and Triatoma dimidiata ; Amphibia: Elachistocleis pearsei and Rhinella humboldti ; Sauropsida: Bothrops asper , Cnemidophorus lemniscatus , Gonatodes albogularis , Gymnophthalmus speciosus and Mabuya sp .; and Mammalia: Artibeus lituratus , Didelphis marsupialis, Molossus sp . and Mus musculus . In conclusion, the Wine Palm functions as a microenvironment for arthropods and small vertebrates due to its architecture; it is used as a dwelling, dormitory or occasional refuge, making it an important site for interactions of wild animals.
