Abstract

Abstract:

A biodiversity study was conducted from July 7 to October 7 2021 in the Mt. Helanshan, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China. Specimens were obtained through three passive collection methods: flight interception trap (FIT), Malaise trap (MT), and pitfall trap (PT). The dataset comprises 20 sampling points with one FIT, one MT, and ten PTs each. In total, 9,984 beetles were collected from 30 families and 191 species. The dataset contains: (1) 816 original group photos of beetle specimens from the sampling points; (2) Group photos of beetle specimens labelled with their morphological species numbers; (3) A quantitative statistical table of beetle specimens; (4) Morphological species identification charts; (5) Information table of latitude, longitude, and altitude data for the sampling points; (6) A timeline of sample collection and field photos of the sampling points. This dataset not only provides effective and feasible passive collection methods for gathering beetles but also quantitatively assesses beetle diversity in Helan Mountain, thereby enriching related research.
