Diversity of Chrysomelids beetle (Coleoptera) in garbhanga reserve forest (Assam)

The aim of this paper was to study the diversity of Chrysomelidae beetle in Garbhanga Reserve Forest. Five plots with vegetation structure covering different habitats were selected for diversity study. The study was conducted from April to October in 2011 and 2012. A total of 1713 individuals belonging to 21 species were recorded from the chosen plots. Species richness estimators were used to measure the diversity of Chrysomelidae beetle. Diversity index study indicated that vegetation cover with moist deciduous type was rich in diversity in comparison to other vegetation type.
