琼山地区凤蝶种类及其季节性变化

The species and seasonal changes of Papilionidae in Qiongshan region

报道了1993—1998年期间对琼山地区的凤蝶种类、种群数量及季节性变化进行调查的结果.共记录了凤蝶科昆虫7属18种,其中柑橘凤蝶为海南岛新纪录,金裳凤蝶为国家保护的种类.研究表明该地区蝶类发生最盛期为9月下旬、12月上旬,与热带山地雨林有明显区别.植被类型及季节性变化是决定该地区蝴蝶种类组成与分布的关键因素.

The Papilionidae species, its population and seasonal changes were studied in Qiongshan from 1993 to 1998,18 species of butterflies were recorded(7 genera). Papilio xuthus is a new record in Hainan Island, and Troides ae-acus is on the list of 'wild animals of state - level priority protection' in China. The results indicated that me time from late September to early December is the topmost appearance period for butterflies in Qiongshan region, which is apparently different from that of butterflies in tropical mountain rain forests. The type of local vegetation and seasonal changes are the key factors to affecting the component of butterfly fauna and distribution.
