ЖЕСТКОКРЫЛЫЕ НАСЕКОМЫЕ (INSECTA, COLEOPTERA) В БЕРЕГОВЫХ НАНОСАХ СОЛЕНОГО ОЗЕРА ХАКИ-СОР (КАЗАХСТАН, ЗАПАДНО-КАЗАХСТАНСКАЯ ОБЛАСТЬ)

Abstract

The article presents an overview of beetles found in coastal sediments in the northeastern part of the salt lake Khaki-sor. Data on the entomofauna of Khaki-Sor are given for the first time. The purpose of the study is to inventory the species of Сoleoptera in the coastal sediments of the salt lake Khaki–sor. Insect collections were carried out on the cliffs of the first terrace of the litter, in the coastal part of the litter, and are represented by insects caught in the brine of the salt marsh or species washed away from the surface of the first terrace by heavy rains. The best preserved beetle specimens were selected from the total mass of invertebrate sediments. A small part of the beetles were collected manually or by catching the light of the HWL-250 lamp. A total of 2,053 beetles were identified, assigned to 146 species. Of the species proposed for inclusion in the Red Book of the West Kazakhstan region of the Republic of Kazakhstan, three species of ground beetles were noted, for which there are single finds from the sediments of Lake Khaki-Sor: Calosoma sycophanta (L., 1758), Calosoma inquisitor (L., 1758) and Carabus bessarabicus Fischer von Waldheim, 1823.
