Abstract

In an oak forest (Quercus frainetto) flight barrier traps baited with ethanol were used in order to attract wood and bark boring insects and study their flight pattern. There were trapped 19 species from which 9 were Scolytidae, 3 Bostrychidae, 2 Anobiidae, 1 Platypodidae and 1 Buprestidae. The most frequently species trapped was Xyleborus saxeseni. Totally 5 scolytid species (X. saxeseni, X. dispar, X. monographus, X. dryographus and Trypodendron signatum) were trapped in relatively high numbers. Their flight pattern is presented and discussed.

Zusammenfassung

In einem Eichenwald (Quercus frainetto) Griechenlands wurden Schlitzfallen angewandt, um holz- und rindenbrütende Käfer anzulocken sowie ihre Flugperiode festzustellen. Es wurden 19 Insekten-Spezies angelockt: 9 Scolytidae, 3 Bostrychidae, 3 Cerambycidae, 2 Anobiidae, 1 Platypodidae and 1 Buprestidae. Die am häufigsten gefangene Art warXyleborus saxeseni. Insgesamt 5 Scolytidae-Spezies (X. saxeseni, X. dispar, X. monographus, X. dryographus undTrypodendron signatum) wurden in relativ hohen Zahlen gefangen. Ihre Flugperioden werden mitgeteilt und diskutiert.
