ВИДОВИЙ СКЛАД КОМАХ-НЕКРОБІОНТІВ НА ДІЛЯНКАХ З РІЗНИМИ ТИПАМИ ҐРУНТІВ В ОКОЛИЦЯХ МІСТА ХАРКОВА (УКРАЇНА)

On corpses of animals in areas with different soil types, 34 species of insects from three orders and 14 families were found, among which Coleoptera (24 species) and Diptera (7 species) were registrated as dominants. The species composition of insect-necrobionts did not differ from each other in areas with different soil types (faunistic similarity by index of Chekanovsky-Sørensen – 0.66–0.78). Typical necrobionts (more than 80% of the species composition of all insects) are represented by the majority of Diptera (Calliphora vomitoria, C. vicina, Cynomyia mortuorum, Lucilia caesar, L. sericata, Fannia scalaris, Sarcophaga carnaria) and Coleoptera (Hister impressus, Saprinus semistriatus, Necrophorus fossor, Silpha obscura, Oiceptoma thoracica, Creophilus maxillosus, Thanatophilus sinuatus, Th. rugosus, Staphylinus caesareus, Creophilus maxillosus, Philonthus nitidus, Ph. addendus, Dermestes undulatus, D. frischi, D. olivieri, D. erichsoni, D. murinus, Necrobia ruficollis, N. rufipes, N. violacea, Omosita colon), among which there are both typical necrophagous and entomophagous. These species are of most practical importance in forensic entomology. Some species of beetles (Adalia bipunctata, Onthophagus coenobita, Stomis pumicatus, Tachinus humeralis) and ants (Lasius niger, Myrmica ruginodis) identified during the course of study can be attributed to the random entomofauna of the corpses (about 20% of the species composition of all Insecta).
