Abstract:
Observations concerning the
epigeous coleoptera found in apple tree
plantations from the Fruit-Growing
Research and Development Station of
Fălticeni were done in 2008 from May to
October, by means of Barber-type traps. A
number of 10 samplings were carried out on
the following dates: 30 May, 16 June, 30
June, 22 July, 1 August, 12 August, 25
August, 5 September, 18 September and 9
October. At each sampling, coleoptera
species were separated by the rest of the
material, the formol solution being replaced
by another solution with the same
concentration. During this period of
observations, they collected 901 samples of
coleoptera belonging to 56 species. The
species with the highest number of collected
samples were Pseudophonus rufipes De
Geer (189 samples), Opatrum sabulosum L.
(180 samples), Dermestes frischi Kugel. (78
samples), Ophonus puncticollis Payk. (67
samples), Cicindela germanica L. (56
samples), Harpalus distinguendus Duft. (43
samples), Otiorrhynchus raucus F. (37
samples), Psylliodes chrysocephala L. (34
samples), Pterostichus vulgaris L. (24
samples) and Staphylinus spp. (21 samples).
