Over a period of one year, members of the family Campodeidae were collected in an oak forest (Sumarice) in the vinicity of Kragujevac (Serbia). The abundance and diversity of the members of this family were monitored, as were factors that may exert influence on their dynamics (soil temperature and moisture at different depths). From the collected material, the following members were separated: Campodea colladoi, Campodea wallacei, Campodea campestre, Campodea frenata, Campodea suensoni and Podocampa serbia. The most abundant species among them was Campodea campestre, which had significant influence on the dynamics of abundance of this family by virtue of its dominance and frequency. Other species of this family were loss numerous, but they contributed by their presence to increased density and diversity of this group of soil insects.
