Abstract
The study was carried out to investigate distribution and diversity of beetles with pitfall traps and beatings 3 times at Baegyang temple area of Naejangsan National park from July to September in 2010. A total of 333individuals belonging to 32 species from 13 families were captured beetles at Baegyang temple area of Naejangsan National park. The rate of captured individuals was 17.4% and 13.3% in Synuchus cycloderus and Synuchus nitidus, respectively. The total of two species was 30.7%. The number of individuals by altitude was the highest at 200m, and was order of 500m>400m>700m. A total of 333 individuals belong to 32 species from 13 families were captured at Baegyang temple area of Naejangsan National park. The number of captured individuals by monthly was 95 on July, 178 on August and 60 on September, respectively. Dominance index was the highest to Attelabidae and was the lowest to Rutelidae. Dominance index by monthly was the highest on July and was the lowest on September. Diversity index showed the highest to Rutelidae in family and on August in monthly. Menhinich index was 1.75 which species abundance indicated by beetles at Baegyang temple area of Naejangsan National park.
