大别山白蚁区系及其危害初步研究

大别山白蚁区系过去无人研究。我们在此共采到白蚁标本12种,分隶于2科5属,其中有4种为本省分布新纪录,至今,安徽已知白蚁共有18种。从地理分布型分析,大别山白蚁东洋种与古北种的比数为7:2,故从白蚁角度,大别山应划归东洋界。从垂直分布来看,慰科和鼻螱科的乳螱属仅分布在大别山较低处,而鼻螱科的网螱属分布较高,分布也广。根据我们的调查,发现大别山的白蚁不仅对房屋和林木有危害,而且也危及堤坝和中药材,故应加强防治。

PRELIMINARY STUDY ON THE FAUNA AND HARMFULNESS OF TERMITES OF MOUNT DABIESHAN

Mount Dabieshan is located in the south-west of Anhui Province.The survey of termites of the mountain were first conducted by the authors et al. in 1983 and 1984. In this paper the authors have listed 12 species, belonging to 2 families 5 genera, in which Reticulitermes speratus (Kolbe), R. testudineus Li et Ping, Odontotermes fontanellus Kemner and O.zunyiensis Li et Ping are the neww records in Anhui. In the regions the proportion of oriental species to that of palaearctic species is 7:2, distributions of palaearctic species and euryecic species are over the altitude of 1,000m, oriental species are in lower regions. The termites of Mount Dabieshan are harmful to buildings, woods, dams and Chinese medicinal herbs, and should be under control.
