The aim of this study was to give the first description based on exploratory data of invertebrates associated to <em>P. pugnax</em> habitats in the Araucanía region, Chile. For comparison, published data on two similar habitats without <em>P. pugnax</em> populations were considered as outgroups. The obtained results revealed marked differences in species composition among sites with presence of <em>P. pugnax</em>, and without this species. A small number of species (1–5) was identified in the studied sites; Cladocera <em>Simocephalus expinosus</em> group was the most numerous and inhabited five of seven sites. Ecological and biogeographical topics were discussed.</p&gt;}, number={6}, journal={Zoodiversity}, author={De los Rios-Escalante, P.
