亞科 斑紋鍬亞科 Aesalinae Nicaginae Syndesinae Lampriminae Penichrolucaninae 鍬形蟲亞科 Lucaninae 鍬形蟲(學名:Lucanidae、英语:stag beetle是鍬形蟲科昆蟲的總稱,全世界約有1,200種。雄蟲通常有誇張美觀,角一般的大顎,並非用來咀嚼食物,其用途為對抗天敵與打鬥及爭奪食物、地盤或異性。雌性個體大顎較短,主要的功用是用來在腐木挖掘洞穴產卵。 臺灣地區的鍬形蟲種類約有50種,部份種類4月即是成蟲活躍的季節,大多成蟲在5月左右開始出現,在5~7月最活躍。 以特定樹木(大多是山毛櫸科植物,或稱殼斗科植物)流出的汁液為食,亦會攝取腐爛的水果,待產卵的雌蟲甚至會為攝取養份而進食肉類(昆蟲屍體或朽木中其他幼蟲)。天敵為鳥類及真菌等。 台灣一般最為常見的鍬形蟲是中低海拔的台灣扁鍬形蟲(Dorcus titanus sika),而台灣大鍬形蟲(Dorcus formosanus,特有種)及長角大鍬形蟲(Dorcus schenklingi,特有種)列入保育類。 目录 1 分類 1.1 斑紋鍬形蟲亞科 Aesalinae 1.2 Syndesinae 1.3 Sinodendrinae 1.4 Platycerinae 1.5 Lampriminae 1.6 深山鍬形蟲亞科 Lucaninae 1.7 矮鍬形蟲亞科 Figulinae 1.8 隱爪锹形蟲亞科 Penichrolucaninae 2 圖集 3 參考資料 4 參見 5 延伸閱讀 6 外部連結 分類 斑紋鍬形蟲亞科 Aesalinae Nicagus 沙地鍬形蟲屬Ceratognathus 斑紋鍬形蟲屬Aesalus[1][2] 美洲斑紋鍬形蟲屬Lucanobium 熱帶斑紋鍬形蟲屬 Echinoaesalus[1][2] Syndesinae Syndesus Sinodendrinae 獨角鍬形蟲屬Sinodendron Platycerinae Ceruchus Platyceroides Platyceropsis Platycerus Lampriminae Eucarteria Homolamprima 金鍬形蟲屬Lamprima 彩虹鍬形蟲屬Phalacrognathus 花鍬形蟲屬Rhysonotus Safrina Dendroblax 深山鍬形蟲亞科 Lucaninae 参见:Category:深山鍬亞科 Chiasognathus 皺翅鍬形蟲屬Sphaenognathus 鳞毛锹形蟲属Cacostomus 澳洲皺翅鍬形蟲屬Australognathus Leptinopterus Casignetus 長鬚鍬形蟲屬Cantharolethus 南美寶石鍬屬Streptocerus Chewlucanus
