摘要:

The rhinoceros beetleCyphonistes tuberculifronsQuedenfeldt 1884 (Coleoptera Scarabaeidae Dynastinae Oryctini) was attracted by different quinones in a gallery forest in northeastern Ivory Coast. Quinones are widespread in organic matter, e.g. in termite defensive secretions, fruit, rotting fruit, wood, and rotting wood. We consider the attraction to rotting wood, rotting fruit and perhaps attacked termite mounds to be the most probable function of the attractive effect of quinones onC. tuberculifrons.
