Abstract :
آثار موجود در موزه ها دارايي هاي ملي هر كشوري هستند كه نسبت به بسياري از آفات نيز آسيب پذيرند. علاوه بر اين آفات مي توانند در يك موزه، كتابخانه يا يك انبار خسارات جدي در اشيا با ارزش و غيرقابل جايگزين ايجاد كنند. از اين رو، نظارت مداوم بر مجموعه ها حهت بررسي فعاليت آفات در موزه ها ضروري است. خانواده Dermestidae به عنوان يكي از آفات جدي در مجموعه موزه شناخته شده است كه بر روي محصولات مختلف تغذيه كرده و باعث آلودگي زياد مي شوند. در اين تحقيق، ما نتايج نظارت بر تمام بخش هاي دو ساختمان مجموعه كاخ نياوران تهران، شامل كتابخانه سلطنتي و كوشك احمد شاهي را ارايه مي كنيم. گونه هاي زير از خانواده Dermestidae براي اولين بار از تهران و موزه نياوران جمع آوري شده است: Thylodrias contractus Motschulsky, 1839،Attagenus lobatus Rosenhauer, 1856، Anthrenus (Anthrenus) coloratus Reitter, 1881 وA. (Anthrenus) picturatus picturatus Solsky, 1876. علاوه بر اين گونهThylodrias contractus Motschulsky, 1839 براي اولين بار از ايران گزارش شد.
Abstract :
Museum collections are national assets of any country and also are very susceptible to pest damage. Moreover pests in a museum, library or archive environment can cause severe damage to highly valuable and irreplaceable materials. Hence, constantly monitoring of the collections against pest activity is essential in museums. Dermestidae family is known as one of serious pests in the museum collections which feed on various products and cause high infestation. In current study, we present the results of monitoring of all parts of two buildings of The Niavaran Palace Complex, including the private library and Ahmad Shahi Pavilion in Tehran, Iran. The following species of the dermestids have been collected and recorded for the first time from Tehran and Niavaran Museum: Thylodrias contractus Motschulsky, 1839, Attagenus lobatus Rosenhauer, 1856, Anthrenus (Anthrenops) coloratus Reitter, 1881, A. (Anthrenus) picturatus picturatus Solsky, 1876. Moreover, Thylodrias contractus Motschulsky, 1839 is recorded for the first time from Iran.
