Distribusi kumbang pemakan bangkai pada beberapa tempat di Papua

Abstract: Scavenger-beetles were surveyed at various areas in the northern part of Papua,
Indonesia from June 2007 to June 2008. The results show a dominancy of Phaeochrous
emarginatus and Anaides spp. which have different distributions. P.emarginatus is found in primary and secondary forest close to villages and towns and even in the close environment of settlements. Anaides spp. however occur in outlying districts, mostly in secondary forest. Using pitfall traps with fish and meat not only members of the Hybosoridae were found, but also members of Geotrupidae (dung-beetlesJ, Trogidae (carcass-beetles), Silphidae (carrion-beetles), Staphylinidae (rove beetles) and Histeridae (clown-beetles). Most of them could not be identified yet.
Ikhtisar: Hasil survei Scavenger-beet/es pada beberapa tempat di Papua memperlihatkan
dominansi Phaeochrous emarginatus dan Anaides sp., yang masing-masing memiliki tempat penyebaran yang berbeda. Phaeochrous emarginatus selalu ditemukan dalam hutan primer maupun hutan sekunder di daerah perkotaan dan di sekitar pemukiman yang padat penduduk, sedangkan Anaides spp. selalu ditemukan di daerah peda laman dan kebanyakan di hutan sekunder.

Comparison of diversity of butterflies (Superfamily Papilionoidea) National Reserve Wasur, Merauke

For this survey, held in the period 8th July till 9th August 2007, three localities were chosen inside the National Reserve (Sota, Rawa Biru and Ndalir) and three localities outside the reserve (Solar, Erom, Buti Payum), representing secondary forest, grassland and coastal area. 
101 species of butterflies were collected: 9 Papilionidae, 8 Pieridae, 4 Lycaenidae and 40 Nymphalidae. 84 species were found outside the reserve; 75 species inside the reserve. Erom (H’=0.839) and Rawa Biru (H’=0.837) had the highest diversity; Sota (H’=0.661) and Buti Payun (H’=0.491). As special records may be mentioned Delias argenthona balli (endemic in Merauke area), D. mysis nemea, Hypochrysops apollo (only known from a single specimen from Papua and a few from PNG), Freyera trochylus, Mycalesis sirius (five new specimens for KSP), Neopithecops lucifer, and Elymnias agondaswith beautiful varieties in the females.

Surveying Papilionoidea at the Archipelago Moor and Mambor, Nabire 

From 7th July till 6th August 2003 a survey was held by Hanna Kawulur, Henk van Mastrigt, Edy Rosariyanto and six students from the Cenderwasih University (UNCEN), at three islands at the archipelago of Moor and six islands at the archipelago of Mambor.
At the three islands of the archipelago of Moor 90 species were recorded: at Moor 68, at Ratewi 74 and at the small island of Nuta Uti 29. At the six islands of the archipelago of Mambor 75 species were recorded, including 20 species which were not recorded at the archipelago of Moor: at Mambor 43, at Here 24, at Mowirin 43, at Hariti 62, and at the very small islands of Ahee and Warahire respectively 8 and 2 species.
Some special notes concern Papilio albinus and Graphium codrus (only at Moor), Cepora aspasia (at four islands), Bindahara phocides in large numbers at the coast of Moor and Mambor, Hypochrysops apelles was common at Moor, Mowirin and Hariti, Idea durvillei (common at Hariti), Parthenos tigrina (only at Warahire) and P. aspila (at nearly all other islands), Euploea phaenareta (with very many individuals at Nusa Uti – males only).

Three days surveying at Mios Num

The island of Num is a small island west of Japen, where we spend three days (16-18 June 2007) for collecting. The local people are dependent from sea and forest for daily needs. In talk with local people we point out how important it is the keep sea and forest in good condition so that the use will be sustainable. Only thirty species of Superfamily Papilionoidea were collected, without any rarities: 8 Papilionidae, 1 Pieridae, 10 Lycaenidae and 11 Nymphalidae.
The Arctiidae moth Utetheisa disrupta was present in large numbers inside the village.
The poor results on this island support the theory between the number of species and size of an island.

Potency of consuming insects in Papua

From 19 to 21 February 2008 an international Workshop was held in Chiang Mai (Thailand) on edible insects, organized by FAO. 
At the meeting – with participants from eight S.E. Asian countries and four other countries – we want to share the possibilities of insects becoming a source of protein for local people in Papua. Papuans of about 260 tribes are familiar with the consumption of 80-100 species of insects, although the areas are quite restricted. 
In countries as Thailand and China consumption of insects is much wider distributed than in Papua: on markets dried and tinned insects of various kinds are for sale, mostly breed by local people.
Some tribes in Papua have a good knowledge of insects, as the very detailed knowledge on Cosmopsaltria (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha) at the Mee people in the Kobowre Mountains.
In all lowlands we find consumption of the sago grub. Besides that Blattidea, Phasmida, Orthoptera, Mantodea, Hymenoptera, Hemiptera, Coleoptera, Ephemenoptera and Lepidoptera (over 50 moths and/or caterpillars) belong to the diet of one or more tribes.
