✦ Synopsis

With 4 Figures and one Table On the basis of extensive fieldwork, a first survey of carnivorous plants occurring on inselbergs is provided. Inselbergs are mostly dome-shaped granitic or gneissic outcrops with scarce vegetation cover. They are important habitats for carnivorous plants in wooded tropical areas. Three families of carnivorous plants (Droseraceae, Lentibulariaceae, Nepenthaceae), including four genera and 45 species are reported from various inselberg habitats. Carnivorous plant families and genera are represented on inselbergs proportionally to their importance in the regional species pool.

The taxonomic composition and size of arthropods captured by Pinguicula nevadense, an endemic carnivorous plant of the high-mountain zone of the Sierra Nevada (southern Spain), are analysed. The actual prey of P. nevadense and the available arthropods trapped by "mimic-traps" are compared, in order
