摘要

Erotylinae is a mycophagous subfamily of Erotylidae, with the majority of erotyline species feeding on Agaricomycetes fungi. According to some studies, mycophagous beetles may have coevolved with their fungal hosts. However, the host records for Erotylinae in most regions are understudied. A comprehensive list of host records offering a deeper understanding of the beetle-fungus relationship would be helpful for taxonomic studies. Thus, this study provides host records for some Taiwanese erotyline beetles. Additional studies are warranted to investigate the evolution of specialized and generalized host preferences among these beetles.

並列摘要

大蕈蟲亞科為蕈食性甲蟲，大部分種類的幼蟲和成蟲以傘菌綱子實體為食。此外，多項研究認為蕈食性甲蟲與其真菌寄主有共演化關係。然而，大部分大蕈蟲的寄主紀錄不齊全，使大蕈蟲和真菌寄主共演化的了解有限。較完整的寄主紀錄有助於了解上述演化關係以及大蕈蟲的系統分類。此研究提供臺灣大蕈蟲亞科的寄主紀錄，顯示大蕈蟲有廣食者也有專食者，需要更完整的採樣以及更多的研究以解釋這些現象。
