摘要

在尼泊爾，於五個不同的農業生產區，研究金龜子的豐富度與多樣性。利用昆蟲誘捕燈偵測12個月。在一年研究期間，總共誘捕到4708隻金龜子，分別隸屬於29屬及77種。其中最普遍的五種金龜子為Adoretus cornonatus Burmeister、Maladera thomsoni (Brenske)、Anomola bilobata Arrow、Holotrichia nigricollis Brenske與Anomola dimidiate (Hope)，佔總數的58.81%。因此研究而開發了尼泊爾這五個農業生產區金龜子的資料庫。以這些資料為根基，可進一步研究甲蟲，並發展尼泊爾的保育與管理對策。

The abundance and diversity of scarabaeid beetles was examined at five different farming areas in Nepal. Light traps were used to monitor the beetles for 12 months. A total of 4708 scarabaeid beetles of 29 genera and 77 species were trapped during the one year duration of this study. The five most common scarabaeid species in the study areas were Adoretus coronatus Burmeister, Maladera thomsoni (Brenske), Anomola bilobata Arrow, Holotrichia nigricollis Brenske and Anomola dimidiata (Hope). They accounted for 58.81% of all individuals collected. An inventory of scarabaeid beetles associated with the five different farming areas in Nepal was developed. This data creates a base for further studies of beetles and for the developement of conservation and management strategies in Nepal.
