Beetles (Coleoptera) sampled at the Ginseng Camp, Maliau Basin, Sabah, Malaysia with the Winkler’s method and light trap
Beetle diversity was assessed at the Ginseng Camp, using the Winkler’s method and light trap during the Maliau Basin Scientific Expedition. A total of 27 families from 582 specimens were sampled from the soil and leaf litter. The most prominent family was Staphylinidae, followed by Pselaphidae and Scydmaenidae. Macro beetles from eight families were recorded through light-trapping. The common families were Scarabaeidae and Cerambycidae. The most common species encountered was Oxyropterus audoniwi, a giant click beetle from the family Elateridae. A list of the families sampled through the Win... Mehr ...
