Abstract EN

A survey of beetle faunal diversity and composition was studied in Durgapur Municipal Corporation, Durgapur, West Bengal, from January to December 2012.

Beetles were collected using standard trapping methods from three different sites selected on the basis of their specific habitat differences, identified up to the level of family, and counted monthly.

A total of 9 families were reported from the study site.

The second site, that is, Site B, showed the highest diversity.

It is also noted that the highest diversity was found during monsoon in all the three sites.
