Abstract

The morphometric parameters of Acinopus (Acinopus) laevigatus Ménétriés, 1832 (Coleoptera, Carabidae) were studied and their altitudinal variability was assessed. The length of head is the most variable, and the smallest value of the coefficient of variation is observed for the width of elytra. The length of body parts (head, pronotum, elytra) were more variable compared to their width. The correlation relationship between the morphometric parameters of different parts of the body was analyzed. A high correlation was found between the elytra length (EL) and the total body length (BL) (r=0.93), and the lowest correlation was found between the elytra width (EW) and the pronotum length (PL) (r=0.57). According to all measurement indicators, high-mountain representatives of beetles were inferior to middle-mountain individuals, and the variation in traits was also less. Only the width of the elytra turned out to be more variable in individuals of the highlands. Statistical analysis showed a rather high reliability of the influence of altitudinal belts on the morphometric parameters of beetles for all studied parameters. However, changes in body proportions in different altitudinal zones were not significant, except for the EW/BL index.

乌兹别克山区生态系统中腺泡虫（腺泡虫）LAEVIGATUS meneteries，1832（鞘翅目，甲科）的形态计量学特征

对1832年（鞘翅目，锦鸡科）金翅雀（Acinopus）的形态计量学参数进行了研究，并对其海拔变异性进行了评估。头部的长度变化最大，鞘翅宽度的变化系数最小。身体各部分（头部、前足、鞘翅）的长度与其宽度相比变化更大。分析了人体不同部位形态计量参数之间的相关性。鞘翅长度（EL）与总体长（BL）呈高度相关（r=0.93），鞘翅宽度（EW）与前足长度（PL）呈最低相关（r=0.57）。只有鞘翅的宽度在高地的个体中变化更大。统计分析表明，对于所有研究的参数，海拔带对甲虫形态计量参数的影响具有相当高的可靠性。然而，除了EW/BL指数外，不同海拔带的身体比例变化并不显著。
