- Abstract
The researches regarding the diversity of scarabeoid larvae in the forest nurseries from Covasna County were made in October, 2013. The material (477 larvae) was collected from the soil (121 samples of 1 m x 1 m x 0.5 m); systematically, it belongs to three families: Melolonthidae, Rutelidae and Cetoniidae; three subfamilies: Melolonthinae, Rutelinae and Cetoniinae, 6 genera and 6 species. The dominant species was Protaetia (Netocia) cuprea (Fabricius 1775) - 312 individuals (in 52 samples) identified for three forest nurseries: Dârnău, Iancău and Păpăuţi. It was followed by: Melolontha melolontha (Linnaeus 1758) with 52 individuals collected from 10 forest nurseries (106 samples); Rhizotrogus aestivus (Olivier 1789) with 40 individuals (in 2 forest nurseries - 17 samples); Amphimallon solstitiale (Linnaeus 1758) - 35 individuals from 3 forest nurseries (22 samples). The authors analysed the densities of the species in correlation with the types of forest, types of soil, types of stations, altitude. Regarding the infestation level, very high infestations were identified for Oituz, Turia and Comandău forest nurseries. Low infestations were registered for Dârnău and Păpăuţi.
