: | In order to elucidate the fauna of ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae and Platypodinae) in natural forests of Shimanto River Basin of Kochi Prefecture, southwestern Japan, we captured them with ethanol traps from April to October 2007 in Irazu-yama National Forest, which is one of old-growth natural mixed forests of conifers and broad-leaved trees. As a result, 15 species of Scolytinae were recorded. The most abundant species was Xylosandrus germanus, followed by X. brevis, Scolytoplatypus tycon and S. mikado. |
