Abstract

The Hunshandake desert is situated in the southeast region of Mongolian Plateau which owns unique geographical location with high diversity of darkling beetles. 1 244 darkling beetles specimens were collected by us did filed investigation in this area where contains large insect resources. After the specimens were identified, we found they belong to 35 species(subspecies), 14 genera, 8 tribes and 4 subfamilies. In this paper, a list of darkling beetles found in the desert was provided, and listed information of collection and regions distribution for each species. A classified key of species was prepared. The darkling beetles in Hunshandake desert were analyzed fauna component and characteristics of distribution, and compared richness with other 7 deserts in Inner Mongolia.

Key words： darkling beetles; biodiveserty; Hunshandake desert; Mongolian Plateau
