ABSTRACT
Research of longhorn beetle in Enclave area Lore Lindu National Park was conducted
during December 2013 until Mey 2014. The aims of this research was to determine of
longhorn beetles in cocoa and coffee plantations in Enclave area, Lore Lindu National Park,
as well as their distributions, host plants and habitats. Beetles were collected by using
Artocarpus traps. The results showed that 6 species of longhorn beetles were found in cocoa
and coffee plantations, i.e., Gnoma pulverea, Acalolepta celebensis, A. fasciata, A. montana,
A. rusticatrix, and Epepeotes plorator celebensis.
Keywords: Longhorn beetle, enclave area, Lore Lindu National Park.

Enclave area of Lore Lindu National

plantation area of local communities. The
plants cultivated by the people are coffee
