  Author(s): Srinivasa Murthy Kotilingam*
  
  The different agroecological regions of Western Ghats of Karnataka were surveyed to assess the diversity of scarabaeid beetles. The species distribution revealed occurrence of 18 species of scarabaeid beetles. The rutelinid Anomola albopilosa was more dominant (21.34%) followed by melolonthinid Holotricha serrata (19.22%). Leucopholus sp. was more predominant in the Malanad region. Species richness and abundance was determined by the diversity indices. Higher Shannon's Weiner diversity index (2.73) was registered during 2018... View More»
