亞科 斑紋鍬亞科 Aesalinae Nicaginae Syndesinae Lampriminae Penichrolucaninae 鍬形蟲亞科 Lucaninae 鍬形蟲（學名：Lucanidae、英语：stag beetle是鍬形蟲科昆蟲的總稱，全世界約有1,200種。雄蟲通常有誇張美觀,角一般的大顎，並非用來咀嚼食物，其用途為對抗天敵與打鬥及爭奪食物、地盤或異性。雌性個體大顎較短，主要的功用是用來在腐木挖掘洞穴產卵。 臺灣地區的鍬形蟲種類約有50種，部份種類4月即是成蟲活躍的季節，大多成蟲在5月左右開始出現，在5~7月最活躍。 以特定樹木（大多是山毛櫸科植物，或稱殼斗科植物）流出的汁液為食，亦會攝取腐爛的水果，待產卵的雌蟲甚至會為攝取養份而進食肉類（昆蟲屍體或朽木中其他幼蟲）。天敵為鳥類及真菌等。 台灣一般最為常見的鍬形蟲是中低海拔的台灣扁鍬形蟲（Dorcus titanus sika），而台灣大鍬形蟲（Dorcus formosanus，特有種）及長角大鍬形蟲（Dorcus schenklingi，特有種）列入保育類。 目录 1 分類 1.1 斑紋鍬形蟲亞科 Aesalinae 1.2 Syndesinae 1.3 Sinodendrinae 1.4 Platycerinae 1.5 Lampriminae 1.6 深山鍬形蟲亞科 Lucaninae 1.7 矮鍬形蟲亞科 Figulinae 1.8 隱爪锹形蟲亞科 Penichrolucaninae 2 圖集 3 參考資料 4 參見 5 延伸閱讀 6 外部連結 分類 斑紋鍬形蟲亞科 Aesalinae Nicagus 沙地鍬形蟲屬Ceratognathus 斑紋鍬形蟲屬Aesalus[1][2] 美洲斑紋鍬形蟲屬Lucanobium 熱帶斑紋鍬形蟲屬 Echinoaesalus[1][2] Syndesinae Syndesus Sinodendrinae 獨角鍬形蟲屬Sinodendron Platycerinae Ceruchus Platyceroides Platyceropsis Platycerus Lampriminae Eucarteria Homolamprima 金鍬形蟲屬Lamprima 彩虹鍬形蟲屬Phalacrognathus 花鍬形蟲屬Rhysonotus Safrina Dendroblax 深山鍬形蟲亞科 Lucaninae 参见：Category:深山鍬亞科 Chiasognathus 皺翅鍬形蟲屬Sphaenognathus 鳞毛锹形蟲属Cacostomus 澳洲皺翅鍬形蟲屬Australognathus Leptinopterus Casignetus 長鬚鍬形蟲屬Cantharolethus 南美寶石鍬屬Streptocerus Chewlucanus
