About this book

Language: French

This fifth and last volume of the series Coléoptères de Rhône-Alpes deals with the family of Elaterids or click beetles. The inventory contains more 17,000 records, and is the result of the assessment of 30,000 specimens contained in private and public collections made by numerous entomologists over mare than 150 years. The fauna of Rhône-Alpes comprises 167 species of Elaterids, of which five have not been seen for several decades. Each species is presented with a photograph (sometimes several in the case of variation), data on ecology and plant-hosts, as well as an annotated distribution map. The coverage indicates fairly high species diversity, with 70% of the French fauna represented. This study marks a contemporary baseline. It should be regarded as a working tool and should provoke further research in areas still poorly known or in targeted habitats to improve understanding of this group of polyphagous insects.

Summary in French:
Ce volume, cinquième et dernier de la série Coléoptères de Rhône-Alpes, traite de la famille des Élatérides ou taupins. L’inventaire, établi à partir de plus de 17 000 données, résulte de l’analyse de 30 000 spécimens conservés dans les collections, privés ou institutionnelles, constituées par de nombreux entomologistes depuis plus de 150 ans. La faune de la région Rhône-Alpes compte 167 espèces d’Élatérides dont cinq n’ont pas été observées depuis plusieurs décennies. Chaque espèce est présentée par une photographie, éventuellement plusieurs pour illustrer sa variation, par une carte de répartition commentée. Le bilan montre que la richesse spécifique est assez élevée et représente 70 % de la faune française. Cette étude, qui est un constat actuel, doit être considérée comme un outils de travail et devrait motiver des recherches complémentaires sur des secteurs encore mal connus ou dans des habitats ciblés pour approfondir les connaissance sur ce groupe d’insectes polyphages.
