A faunistic study of seven families of Chalcidoidea and ecological observations were performed in the state of Colima. Samplings considering physiographic zones from Colima were realized during a year. (From June 1985 to May 1986). The collecting from herbaceous trees and shrubs stratus was made by using a triangular hoop net. A total of sixty eight Chalcidoidea genus was obtained: twenty six of Eulophida , eighteen of Encyrtidae, eight of Chalcididae, eight of Eurytomidae, six of Mymariade and two of Eupelmidae. Dichotomic keys for these groups were elaborated. During spring and summer a higher generic diversity in low lands and/or coasted land was found. Se realizo un estudio faunistico de siete familias de Chalcidoidea en el estado de Colima y se hicieron observaciones ecologicas sobre cada una de ellas. Los muestreos se realizaron durante un ano (de junio 1985 a mayo 1986) tomando en cuenta las zonas fisiograficas de Colima. En las colectas se utilizaron redes de aro triangular, redeando estratos herbaceos, arbustivos y arboreos. Se obtuvo un total de 68 generos de calcidoideos: 26 de la familia Eulophidae, 18 de Encyrtidae, ocho de Chalcididae, ocho de Eurytomidae, seis de Mymaridae y dos de Eupelmidae. Se elaboraron claves dicotomicas para estos grupos. Durante las estaciones de primavera y verano se encontro una mayor diversidad generica en las zonas bajas y/o costeras.
