The investigation in the past by an applicant and previous papers had been already collected on more 30 species belonging to 12 genera at least.This island is formed by 3 continental plates which are the Paciic, Eurasian and Indian-Australian plates through plate tectonics. The Sulawesi being an ecotone of the biogeographical regions changed 90 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2013 from Australasia to Indomalaya is called the “Wallacea”, and is important region for elucidating the phylogenetic and taxonomic problems of this subfamily and the biological origin of the continents on “Vicariance” and “Dispersal” Research project will be conducted at mountains and lowlands in Sulawesi, namely, G. Ogoamas alt. 2565m, G. Malino alt. 2443m, G. Tentolomainan alt. 2217m, G. Boliohutu alt. 2065m, G. Gambuta alt. 1954m, G. Bulawa alt. 1970m, G. Bumbungan alt. 1365m, G. Kalabat alt. 1995m and G. Poniki alt. 1817m, G. Lompobatang alt. 2871m, G. Mengkoka alt. 2190m and G. Batuwila alt. 2000m, and around each mountains. Collecting methods are provided with three ways, viz. sifting with a sieve and tray, night collecting from fungi by looking to collect living adults, and using Flight intercept traps to collect lying adult rove beetles.
