Number of moss-inhabiting flea beetles collected by ethanol traps influenced by the weather. The lowest air temperature of each day (provided by the local weather bureau) is marked in the blue line; the number of all moss-inhabiting flea beetle specimens collected each day is marked in the orange line; the number of Benedictus fuanensis sp. nov. is marked by the red line. The letter R in a red box indicates rainy days. The figure shows that lower temperatures and rainy weather highly reduce the efficiency of the ethanol traps.
