Abstract A qualitative and quantitative research of fireflies was conducted in Tungshih forest from November 1998 to April 2000. Nine species of fireflies were recorded. They are: Luciola cerata, L. kagiana, L. anceyi, L. praeusta, Cutois sauteri, Pyrocoelia praetexta, P. formosana, Diaphanes citrinus and Stenocladius bicoloripe. The results indicated the occurrence of adults as follows: L. cerata, from late March to mid-April, L. kagiana, early April to mid-April, L. anceyi, early April to mid-April, L. praeusta, mid-July to late July, C. sauteri, early May to mid-May, P. praetexta, late October to late November, P. formosana, early May to late May, D. citrinus, mid-October to early November and S. bicoloripe, late October. The adults of L. cerata were dominant from early April to mid-April. The adults of L. praeusta were dominant from mid-July to late July. P. praetexta larvae and D. citrinus larvae were dominant from August to October. D. citrinus adults and P. praetexta adults were dominant in late October. L. cerata larvae and L. praeusta larvae were dominant from November to next May. The larvae of these species inhabit the surface of the soil and are preyed upon by snails, such as Phaedusinae (1 unidentified species), Achatina fulica, Patalochlamys formosana, Acusta tourannensis, Plectotropis mackensii, Cyclophorus formosaensis, Patalochlamys vesta, and Bradybaena similaris.
摘要 本研究從1998年11月至2000年4月，選擇東勢林場進行螢火蟲資源調查，經1年餘的調查發現東勢林場共有螢火蟲5屬9種夜行性螢火蟲：熠螢屬之黑翅螢 (Luciola cerata Olivier)、紅胸黑翅螢 (Luciola kagiana Matsumura)、大端黑螢 (Luciola anceyi Olivier)、端黑螢 (Luciola praeusta Kiesenwetter)；脈翅螢屬之梭德氏脈翅螢 (Curtos sauteri (Olivier))；窗螢屬之山窗螢 (Pyrocoelia praetexta (Olivier)) 及紅胸窗螢 (Pyrocoelia formosana (Olivier))；短角窗螢屬之橙螢 (Diaphanes citrinus Olivier)；及垂鬚螢屬之雙色垂鬚螢 (Stenocladius bicoloripes Pic)。東勢林場內螢火蟲成蟲發生時間：黑翅螢從3月底至5月中旬；大端黑螢及紅胸黑翅螢從4月初至4月中旬；端黑螢從7月中至7月底；橙螢從10月中至11月初；山窗螢從10月底至11月底；梭德氏脈翅螢從5月初至5月中旬；雙色垂鬚螢則出現在10月底；紅胸窗螢出現在3月初到3月底。林場內之螢火蟲發生數量，每年3月到5月，以黑翅螢為優勢種；6月至7月則是山窗螢幼蟲及端黑螢成蟲最常見；8月至10月以山窗螢幼蟲及橙螢幼蟲最常見，11月則是橙螢及山窗螢成蟲最常見；而從11月至次年4月以端黑螢及黑翅螢的幼蟲為最常見。林場內之螢火蟲幼蟲調查棲地出現之蝸牛包括：煙管蝸牛亞科 (Phaedusinae) 1種之未鑑定種、台灣鱉甲蝸牛 (Patalochlamys formosana (Schmacker & Boettger))、球蝸牛 (Acusta tourannensis (Souleyet))、台灣盾蝸牛 (Plectotropis mackensii (Adams & Reeve))、南台灣大山蝸牛 (Cyclophorus formosaensis Schmacker & Boettger)、青鱉甲蝸牛 (Patalochlamys vesta (Pfeiffer))、扁蝸牛 (Bradybaena similaris (Ferussac))。
