Eksporasi Keragaman Spesies Belalang Tongkat Ordo Phásmida di Cagar Alam Pegunungan Cydops Kabupaten Jayapura

Abstract: A survey on diversity, habitat and food plants of Phásmida in the Natural Reserveofthe Cyclops Mountains (CAPC= Cagar Alam Pegunungan Cyclops) was held during two months, from June 28 to August 29, 2008, using transect line. Technique of collecting was according to instructions ofthe Phásmida Study Project, in Switzerland. Members of four subfamilies of Phásmida were recorded: Eurycanthinae (6 species), Necrosciinae (2 species), Phasmatinae (1 species), and Platycraninae (1 species), all included in the family Phasmatidae. Within the Eurycanthinae two genera were recorded Dimorphodes and Neopromachus. In CAPC Dimorphodes is presented by D. prostastis, and Neopromachus by five species N. wallacei and four other species, unidentified till now. However, two of these -according to Mr. Kneubuhler (pers.comm.)- are probably new species. The Necrosciinae subfamily is presented by two Sosibia sp. and the Phasmatinae subfamily only by Anchiale maculata. Also the Platycraninae are represented by a single species: Graeffea striaticollis. Phásmida belong to the herbivor insects. Anchiale maculata and Sosibia eat the leaves of jambu biji; Psidium guajava and Graeffea striaticollis eat the leaves of sagu Metroxylon sagu. The habitat of Phásmida is primary and secondary forest, as many of their food plants are available there.

Keanekaragaman dan Penyebaran Spesies Kupukupu Famili Nymphalidae (Subfamili Charaxinae, Apaturinae, Nymphalinae dan Heliconiinae) di Papua

Abstract: The rapid clearance of rain forest by logging companies and conversion of land for various uses such as agriculture, industry and human settlements has had a significant
impact on the ecological balance, and is now threatening the existence of endemie species
and the diversity of butterflies in parts of Papua. Further research on endemie butterfly
species in the twelve different eco-regions of Papua is urgently needed to provide accurate
data for conservation development planning used by local governmental and nongovernmental organisations working on eco-region conservation.
The main goal ofthis research isto establish the diversity and population distribution of Nymphalid butterflies, especially the subfamilies of Charaxinae, Apaturinae, Nymphalinae, and Heliconiinae in Papua.The research used a descriptive analytic method, with studies of literature. Secondarydata such as research results, specimens in collections (especially Koleksi Serangga Papua – Papuan Insect collection in Jayapura) and other references were studied. The study led to the recognition of 53 species of Nymphalid butterflies occurring in Papua (the western part of New Guinea) consisting of 3 species of the Charaxinae subfamily, 5 species of the Apaturinae subfamily, 32 species of the Nymphalinae subfamily and 13 species of the Heliconiinae subfamily. The results are presented in two tables, one on the Papua Barat Province (Birds head) and the other on the Papua Province.
