Estimations of tropical insect diversity generally suffer from lack of known groups or faunas against which extrapolations can be made, and have seriously underestimated the diversity of some taxa. Here we report the intensive inventory of a four-hectare tropical cloud forest in Costa Rica for one year, which yielded 4332 species of Diptera, providing the first verifiable basis for diversity of a major group of insects at a single site in the tropics. In total 73 families were present, all of which were studied to the species level, providing potentially complete coverage of all families of the order likely to be present at the site. Even so, extrapolations based on our data indicate that with further sampling, the actual total for the site could be closer to 8000 species. Efforts to completely sample a site, although resource-intensive and time-consuming, are needed to better ground estimations of world biodiversity based on limited sampling.
对热带昆虫多样性的估计通常因缺乏可供外推的已知类群或动物区系而受到影响，并且严重低估了一些分类群的多样性。在此，我们报告了对哥斯达黎加一片四公顷热带云雾林进行为期一年的密集清查，结果发现了4332种双翅目昆虫，为热带地区单个地点主要昆虫类群的多样性提供了首个可验证的依据。该地点总共出现了73个科，所有科都研究到了物种水平，有可能全面涵盖该地点可能出现的该目所有科。即便如此，根据我们的数据进行外推表明，进一步采样后，该地点的实际总数可能更接近8000种。尽管对一个地点进行完全采样既耗费资源又耗时，但基于有限采样来更好地估计全球生物多样性仍需要这样做。
