云南省象甲科研究概况

Survey of Research on Curculionidae in Yunnan Province

中国象甲分类学家赵养昌、陈元清奠定了云南省象甲分类学基础 .云南省象甲系统分类工作薄弱的原因在于国内相对落后的象甲分类研究水平和云南省象甲分类研究人员的严重不足 .到2 0 0 2年 ,分布于云南省的象甲科昆虫已知共计 1 45种 ,隶属 1 4亚科 56属 .云南省象甲应用基础研究主要集中在危害木亡果、松树及板栗的重要类群上 .学名误用、中文名不统一的现象在已有研究中比较普遍 .一些具有重要经济意义的象甲种类鉴定不准 ,不利于云南省林业发展及重大害虫的防治 .

Chinese weevil taxonomists Chao Yangchung and Chen Yuanqing established the foundation of weevil taxonomy in Yunnan Province.The insuffiencient studing on taxonomy of Curculionidae in Yunnan was mainly constrained by the relatively lower level of national taxonomy of the family and severe shortage of researchers in the field in the province. 145 species belonging to 56 genera and 14 subfamilies had been found in Yunnan by 2002. Applied basic researches on Curculionidae in Yunnan Province have been focused on the important pest species on mango, pine and chestnut. It was common that some scientific names of species in the family were misused and certain Chinese names were not unified in the corresponding previous studies. Some weevils of economic significance could not be identified correctly, which has prevented the forestry from rational development by effective control of vital pests in Yunnan Province.
