COLEOPTERA REPORT FOR 2002-2009

摘要

This report deals with the Coleoptera excluding Aleocharinae and follows that of Marsh (2002), and the records that follow formed the main points of interest of annual reports presented to the YNU Entomological Section at its indoor meetings held during 2002-2009.The Coleoptera records of the YNU are now held on a Recorder 6 electronic database and the latest national checklist is being used for nomenclature (Duff 2008). This replaces the earlier checklist (Kloet & Hincks 1977). I have continued to use the vice-county system as a convenient means of area recording and, as is usual in this type of report, sites are listed in VC order. 'A Yorkshire Coleoptera Checklist' covering VCs 61 to 65, and based on the records on the YNU database, has been placed on the YNU website at www.ynu.org.uk. 'A County Atlas of Coleoptera' is also being undertaken, the first part of which, covering the Carabidae, is now posted on the same website.
