NEW DATA ON THE CARABID BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE) OF MT. FRUŠKA GORA (NORTHERN SERBIA)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Adult carabid beetles were collected from the territory of Mt. Fruška Gora (Northern Serbia) over the period 2002-2008. The investigations were performed at 26 localities. During the study altogether 219 specimens were captured. These beetles were collected mostly by hand, but some individuals were caught by pitfall and light traps as well. In total 64 species classified into 33 genera, 16 tribes, and six subfamilies were found.
Agonum monachum (Duftschmid, 1812) is a new species for the fauna of Serbia. Twenty-seven species are recorded for the first time for Mt. Fruška Gora. The presence of the tribe Perigonini, genus Perigona Laporte, 1835 and subgenus Trechicus LeConte, 1853 is registered in Northern Serbia for the first time in this study. The species Ophonus (Metophonus) cordatus (Duftschmid, 1812), Acupalpus (Acupalpus) flavicollis (Sturm, 1825), Stenolophus (Stenolophus) skrimshiranus Stephens, 1828, Dromius (Dromius) quadrimaculatus (Linnaeus, 1758), Perigona (Trechicus) nigriceps (Dejean, 1831), Agonum monachum, and Pterostichus (Phonias) ovoideus (Sturm, 1824) were found in Vojvodina Province for the first time. The findings of the species Chlaenius (Chlaeniellus) tristis (Schaller, 1783), Ophonus (Hesperophonus) azureus (Fabricius, 1775), and Ophonus (Metophonus) puncticeps Stephens, 1828 are the first precise ones for the species for the territory of Vojvodina Province. After the present study the carabid fauna of Mt. Fruška Gora currently comprises 184 species. e
