Abstract. Widhiono I, Darsono, FasihahN.2017. Short Communication: Endemics species of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) on the southern slope of Mount Slamet, Central Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 18: 283-287.A survey was conducted to gauge the diversity of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) on the forested southern slope of Mount Slamet, Central Java, Indonesia, from April to June 2011. A total of 255 dung beetles of 14 species were collected. Of the 255 specimens collected, 125 (49.42%) were found in secondary forest and 130 (50.58%) were found in Agathis forest. The most abundant species was Phacosoma punctatum with 107 individuals (41.9%), followed by Onthophagus echinus with 53 individuals (20.7%) and Onthophagus palatus with 36 individuals (14.1 %). One species (Onthophagus trituber) was discovered to be a cosmopolitan species, while ten species (Onthophagus armatus, Onthophagus discedens, Onthophagus echinus, Onthophagus egenus, Onthophagus holzi, Onthophagus luridipennis, Onthophagus palatus, Onthophagus sp., Dactylosternum sp. and Apogonia cribrata) were endemic to Mount Slamet. Keywords: dung beetles, Mount Slamet, endemic species, cosmopolitan species

Abstract

Widhiono I, Pandhani RD, Darsono, Riwidiharso E, Santoso S, Prayoga L. 2017. Short Communication: Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) diversity as bioindicator of agroecosystem health in northern slope of Mount Slamet, Central Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 18: 1475-1480. This study examined the diversity of ant assemblages in two different agroecosystems (organic and intensive farming) with maize as main crops on the northern slope of Mount Slamet, Indonesia from April to August 2015. The response of ant diversity to the different farming systems was evaluated. In total, 359 ants from 17 species in five subfamilies were collected: 13 species from the organic farm and 10 species from the conventional farm. Seven (41%) species were found only on the organic farm, four (23%) species were found only on the conventional farm, and six (35%) species were found on both. The Morisita-Horn similarity index (33%) showed that the similarity of the species composition in the two habitats was low. More individual ants were found on the organic farm than the intensive farm [287 (79.94%) vs. 72 (20.05%) individuals]. The diversity of the ants was affected by the density of weeds with organic farming. Hypoponera sp. had the highest Indicator Value (50.7), followed by Aphaenogaster sp. (28.9), Diacamma sp. (28.2), and Odontoponera sp. (27.6), however only Odontoponera sp can be used as bioindicator. Although the ant diversity was higher with organic farming than with intensive farming, there was no correlation with soil conditions. As a bioindicator, the Indicator Value reflects agroecosystem health better than does ant diversity.
