The high desert regions of eastern California within the Great Basin are vast areas of shrub-dominated habitat heavily impacted by invasive exotic grasses and forbs. Trapping efforts within these areas provided distributional information about various surface-active arthropod taxa. Two groups with high species diversity and abundance encountered at our sites were the coleopteran families Carabidae and Tenebrionidae. Here, we report trapping of 45 species of carabids and 46 species of tenebrionids, along with mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) sequence data for 65 of these 92 species. These results build upon existing distributional information regarding these families in California and further refine our knowledge of the biodiversity of the understudied Great Basin provinces.
加利福尼亚州东部大盆地的高沙漠地区是灌木占主导地位的栖息地的广阔区域，这些地区受到入侵外来草本植物和杂类草的严重影响。在这些地区进行的诱捕工作提供了各种地面活动节肢动物类群的分布信息。在我们的地点遇到的两个物种多样性和丰富度高的群体是鞘翅目家族 Carabidae 和 Tenebrionidae。在这里，我们报告了对 45 种 Carabidae 和 46 种 Tenebrionidae 的诱捕情况，以及 65 种 Carabidae 和 46 种 Tenebrionidae 的线粒体细胞色素 c 氧化酶亚基 1（COI）序列数据。这些结果建立在加利福尼亚州关于这些科的现有分布信息的基础上，并进一步完善了我们对研究较少的大盆地省份生物多样性的认识。
