Abstract

Muhammad Sabki City Forest Park (THKMS) is one of the Green Open Spaces in Jambi City, which serves as a natural habitat for various species of flora and fauna, both naturally and through captivity programs. One group of organisms that can be found in the THKMS area is soil surface insects, one of them is the true bug (Order Hemiptera). Hemiptera is an order whose organisms that play a role as phytophagous pests that harm plants in the agricultural sector and also as decomposers in the process of soil material overhaul. In addition to playing a role as phytophages, insects in the Hemiptera order also act as predators in the environment by piercing and sucking their prey, thus reducing the population of plant pests as natural enemies. This study aims to identify the types of soil surface Hemiptera in THKMS. The collection of Hemiptera insect samples was carried out passively using pitfall traps . Based on the identification results, the soil surface Hemiptera species collected were Lisarda rhypara, L. annulata, and Opistoplatys sp., all of them belong to the suborder Heteroptera and included to family Reduviidae. Morphologically, Hemiptera insects have a piercing-sucking mouth type and lack of cerci. Members of the Reduviidae family are known as "Assassin bugs," which are nocturnal. Reduviidae members are large in size and naturally aggressive, making them predators of several other insects. The Reduviidae family is cosmopolitan and has a wide distribution. Ecologically, the insect species found are predators, characterized by their piercing-sucking mouthparts.

Abstract

Euborellia arcanum, an insect from the Dermaptera Order, plays a crucial ecological role as both a predator and a decomposer. However, the genus Euborellia is notoriously challenging to identify. Despite its ecological importance, studies on the genus Euborellia, particularly in Indonesia, remain limited. This study aimed to describe the morphological characteristic of E. arcanum as a reference for identification and scientific information. The study was conducted from August to September 2024 in the Muhammad Sabki Urban Forest Area, using direct sampling and morphological examination by microscopic approach. The Dermaptera Order is characterized by cerci, appendages at the abdomen's end, shaped like tweezers. E. arcanum, a wingless (apterous) species of Euborellia, measures 18–26 mm in total length, including forceps. Specimens collected in this study measured approximately 20 mm. E. arcanum has biting-chewing mouthparts, blackish-brown compound eyes for detecting light and movement, and filiform antennae with 19 antenomeres. The 12th to 15th antenomeres are yellow. The prothorax of E. arcanum is rectangular, slightly longer than wide, with a smooth surface. The mesothorax and metathorax are transverse, wider than long, and also have smooth surfaces. The abdomen consists of nine convex tergite segments, except for the last segment, which is transverse and slightly convex posteriorly. AbstrakEuborellia arcanum, serangga dari Ordo Dermaptera, memainkan peran ekologis yang sangat penting sebagai predator dan pengurai. Namun, genus Euborellia terkenal sulit untuk diidentifikasi. Meskipun memiliki peran ekologis yang penting, penelitian mengenai genus Euborellia, khususnya di Indonesia, masih sangat terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan karakteristik morfologi E. arcanum sebagai acuan identifikasi dan informasi ilmiah. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Agustus hingga September 2024 di Kawasan Hutan Kota Muhammad Sabki, dengan menggunakan metode pengambilan sampel secara langsung dan pemeriksaan morfologi secara mikroskopis. Ordo Dermaptera memiliki ciri khas berupa cerci, pelengkap pada ujung abdomen yang berbentuk seperti pinset. E. arcanum, spesies Euborellia yang tidak bersayap (apterous), memiliki panjang total 18-26 mm, termasuk forsep. Spesimen yang dikumpulkan dalam penelitian ini berukuran sekitar 20 mm. E. arcanum memiliki bagian mulut yang menggigit dan mengunyah, mata majemuk berwarna coklat kehitaman untuk mendeteksi cahaya dan gerakan, dan antena filiform dengan 19 antena. Antena ke-12 hingga ke-15 berwarna kuning. Prothoraks E. arcanum berbentuk persegi panjang, sedikit lebih panjang dari lebar, dengan permukaan yang halus. Mesotoraks dan metatoraks melintang, lebih lebar daripada panjang, dan juga memiliki permukaan yang halus. Abdomen terdiri dari sembilan segmen tergit cembung, kecuali segmen terakhir yang melintang dan sedikit cembung ke arah posterior.

Abstract

Muhammad Sabki City Forest Park (THKMS) is generally used as an educational tourism area. Organisms that have not been identified in the THKMS area include longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae). Longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) are a type of insect that in its larval phase lives on rotting wood that will dry out. Longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) are spread across several primary and secondary forests, to degraded forests, so that Cerambycidae can be used as environmental bioindicators. Collection of longhorn beetle samples (Cerambycidae) was carried out using purposive random sampling. Sampling was carried out in two utilization zones in the THKMS area, namely the moderate utilization zone and the low utilization zone. Longhorn beetle samples (Cerambycidae) were taken using the jackfruit branch trap method (Artocarpus trap) with 10 Artocarpus traps installed in each zone, and the determination of the trap location was carried out randomly. The result shows there are several species of longhorn beetles that are only found at certain stations. There are 8 species of longhorn beetles that can be found at both stations. The species that are only found at station 1 (low utilization zone) are 1 (Sybra sp.) and the species that are only found at station 2 (moderate utilization zone) are 3 species (Acalolepta rusticatrix, Acalolepta sp. and Pterolophia sp.3). Each genus has its own characteristics of morphology so that it can be distinguished based on morphological characters.
