Abstract

Polypore inhabiting beetles in the Moscow region were studied. Sixty-one polypore species harboured 261 species of beetles (174 species coming to polypores as imago, 87 species developing in polypores at larval stage). The highest number of species was found in polypores growing on deciduous trees: Fomes fomentarius (102 beetle species), Polyporus squamosus (94 species), Laetiporus sulphureus (81 species) and Piptoporus betulinus (62 species). Imaginal species diversity is much higher than larval, although the later can be more abundant. Ennearthron cornutum (found on 20 species of polypores) and Cis comptus (16 species) occurred in the largest number of fungal species.
