Description

Over 4000 beetles were collected of which 2060 were pinned and curated. Many more were discarded in the field as duplicates of very common species. Of the 2464 species of beetles reported in Alberta (Bousquet 1991), representatives of 36 families and 318 species were found in Willmore (includes Aleocharinae staphylinids where genus was not determined). Many additional families of beetles are expected to occur in the park. Appendix 1 contains detailed locality and collection data for the beetles collected in Willmore.
