Применение ловушек Малеза для изучения фауны жуков-фитофагов (coleoptera: chrysomeloidea, curculionoidea) Карадагского природного заповедника (республика Крым)

Abstract

Analysis of the collection of beetles obtained using three Malaise traps during the field season of 2019 in the Karadag Nature Reserve revealed 46 species of phytophagous beetles from 6 families. Of these, 20 species for the fauna of Karadag were first indicated. Two species – Bruchus tristiculus (Bruchidae) and Alcidodes karelinii (Curculionidae) were first listed for the fauna of Crimea. In addition, according to an extensive series of specimens, the poorly studied winged form Longitarsus succineus (Foudras, 1860) (var. perfectus Weise, 1893) (Chrysomelidae) was first recorded in Crimea. In the sample is dominated by West-Central-Palaearctic species and West Palaearctic subboreal species, 9 species have Mediterranean or Pontic ranges (Luperus armeniacus, Phyllotreta aerea, Bruchus rufipes, B. tristiculus, Bruchidius dispar, Bradybatus seriesetosus, Otiorhynchus balcanicus, Polydrusus astutus, Eusomostrophus elongatus). Altogether, beetles from 27 families were collected by tent traps, while phytophagous beetles quantitatively prevailed over other groups of the order. The use of Malaise traps in different biotopes as an additional method for the stationary study of the local fauna of phytophagous beetles is recommended.
