  1. A Survey of Phyllophaga Species Associated with Oklahoma Golf Courses. Jake Doskocil1, Tom Royer1, Nathan Walker1, Greg Bell1, James Reinert2 (1)Oklahoma State University (2)Texas Agricultural Experiment Station

  2. Objectives • Determine the species composition of Phyllophaga associated with turfgrasses in Oklahoma • Determine the seasonal occurrence of Phyllophaga spp. associated with turfgrasses in Oklahoma

  3. Survey Sites www.dasnr.okstate.edu/logos/oklamaps Figure 1. Stars denote the location of golf courses were light traps were placed

  4. Results

  5. Results • Regionally important • Central – P.crinita, P. crassissima • South – P.crinita • Northwest – P.glabricula, P. crassissima • Northeast – P.glabricula • Notable • South – P. congrua

  6. Results Figure 3 Flight period of Phyllophaga beetles collected from 7 golf courses in Oklahoma, 2005. (The checkered areas denote the peak flights for the 5 most abundant species.)

  7. Current Research • Determine which of these species is turf inhabiting • Larvae have been collected from regionally corresponding locations for rearing. • DNA sequencing of COII for use in identification of larvae.
