Abstract

High numbers of Epuraea beetles (Coleoptera, Nitidulidae) were caught in flight barrier traps baited with ethanol and the conifer monoterpene α-pinene. Of the Epuraea beetles caught, 95% were E. bickhardti and 3% were E. boreella. E. bickhardti was strongly attracted by ethanol alone. Ethanol in combination with α-pinene attracted both E. bickhardti and E. boreella. No sex related differences between treatments were detected for either of the species.
