ABSTRACT

Research of longhorn beetle in Enclave area Lore Lindu National Park was conducted
during December 2013 until Mey 2014. The aims of this research was to determine of
longhorn beetles in cocoa and coffee plantations in Enclave area, Lore Lindu National Park,
as well as their distributions, host plants and habitats. Beetles were collected by using
Artocarpus traps. The results showed that 6 species of longhorn beetles were found in cocoa
and coffee plantations, i.e., Gnoma pulverea, Acalolepta celebensis, A. fasciata, A. montana,
A. rusticatrix, and Epepeotes plorator celebensis.
Keywords: Longhorn beetle, enclave area, Lore Lindu National Park.

Vives, (2014). Although many studies have
been conducted, but research of longhorn
beetles in Enclave area, Lore Lindu
National Park has not been conducted.
Enclave area of Lore Lindu National
Park located at altitude of 1000 m asl, is a
plantation area of local communities. The
plants cultivated by the people are coffee
(Coffea robusta) and cocoa (Theobroma
cacao). Some studies has reported that
longhorn beetles a pest on coffee plants (Le
Pelley, 1968; Visitpanich, 1994; Rhainds et
al., 2002; Kutywayo, 2013) and cocoa
plants (Entwistle, 1972; Sánchez & (Artocarpus trap) in amount of 20 branches
Capriles, 1979; Morillo et al., 2008). The
aims of this research was to determine of
longhorn beetles in cocoa and coffee
plantations in Enclave area, Lore Lindu
National Park, as well as their distributions,
host plants and habitats.
The study was conducted from
December 2013 to Mey 2014 in cocoa and
coffee plantations, Tomado and Anca
villages, Sigi District, Central Sulawesi
Province. Each study sites is 1 Ha in every
village, so that total area of study sites are 4
Ha.

Longhorn beetles were collected
using leaves and branch of jackfruit plant
and the length of 80 cm (Figure 2a)
(Noerdjito, 2008), which tied together and
then mounted to a tree in research plots
with a height of 150 cm from the soil
surface. A total of twelve traps was set up
in the middle of each plot (distance
between the traps approximately 15-18 cm)
(figure 1). Collections of beetles conducted
