External Morphology and Species Components of the White Grubs Collected from Ginseng Field and Its Neighbouring Fallows
인삼포(人蔘圃) 및 그 주변 포장(圃場)에서 채집(採集)된 굼뱅이의 종구성(種構成) 및 외부형태(外部形態)
Abstract
The white grubs were collected from ginseng field and fallow lands to examine their external morphology and species components. They were divided into 3 subfamilies, i.e., Melolonthinae, Rutellinae, and Sericinae by the shape of anal slit and/or presence of elevated lines in stridulating area of mandible. Eight species were identified by means of comparing the shape of anal slit, setal arrangement of decasternite, and frontoepicranial series of setae. Larvae of Holotrichia diomphalia and H. morosa were observed to damage ginseng root in field.
