Studies on Larval Morphology of Taiwanese Pyrocoelia Fireflies (Coleoptera: Lampyridae: Pyrocoelia)

臺灣產窗螢屬幼蟲形態(鞘翅目:螢科)

摘要


Fireflies are sensitive to pollution in the environment and often chosen as indicators in the studies of environmental protection. However, during non-adult active season of fireflies environmental investigation requires identification on the larvae morphology. Hence, accurate identification of larvae species is very important. Due to the scarce systematic studies on the association of adult fireflies with its immature form, it is difficult to correctly identify larvae species of firefly. Therefore, this study reviewed the morphology of the five larvae species of the genus Pyrocoelia Gorham in Taiwan, and provided a description and illustration in color. We also established diagnoses and provided keys of Pyrocoelia Gorham larvae, and discussed the variations of body color on larvae.

螢火蟲對於環境污染相當敏感,經常被當成環境保護研究的指標生物。然而,在螢火蟲的非成蟲發生季節期間的環境調查作業中,不得不依賴於幼蟲的形態鑑定。因此正確識別幼蟲的種類對於研究上是非常重要的。目前國內外對成蟲螢火蟲與其幼蟲形態的關聯的系統研究較少,難以正確鑑定螢火蟲的幼蟲種類。本研究回顧臺灣窗螢屬5種幼蟲的形態,進行描述和鑑定的診斷說明。此外,我們整理臺灣窗螢屬幼蟲的檢索表,並討論幼蟲體色的變化。
