  • Observations of Cerceris Fumipennis (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) Phenology and Variation in Its Buprestid Prey in Louisiana C
    Observations of Cerceris fumipennis (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) phenology and variation in its buprestid prey in Louisiana C. Wood Johnson1,*, Ted C. MacRae2, Cavell Brownie3, Warren Virgets III4, and Jeremy D. Allison5 Abstract The non-native emerald ash borer,Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), threatens extirpation of susceptible ash (Fraxinus species; Lamiales: Oleaceae) in North America. Cerceris fumipennis Say (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae), a ground-nesting wasp that preys on Buprestidae in eastern North America, is used as a survey tool for the emerald ash borer in the northeastern U.S. and Canada. The recent detection of the emerald ash borer in Louisiana provides an opportunity to complement trapping surveys with the use of C. fumipennis, but knowledge of C. fumipennis in the region is lacking. From 2011 to 2014, we conducted searches at 155 sites and located C. fumipennis aggregations at 25% (n = 39) of these sites; 36% (n = 14) of these were located at forest harvests, an aggregation habitat not previously reported in the literature. We collected 1,559 buprestids representing 35 species from 2 aggregations in Louisiana between May and Aug 2012. Buprestid collections at these aggregations and observations of C. fumipennis activity at a 3rd aggregation indicated the number of buprestid species and individuals collected declined significantly from May to Jul. We collected significantly moreAgrilus difficilis Gory (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in the afternoon than morning hours and observed similar diurnal patterns among other buprestid species during the early weeks following aggregation activation. We also discuss evidence suggesting a portion of the regional C. fumipennis population is bivoltine. AlthoughA. planipennis was not collected during this study, our results suggest that C.

Frey 26, 1975 87 A revision of the genus Dicerca in North America (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) Von G. H. Nelson, Kansas City Abstract: The genus Dicerca, in the tribe Buprestini, is placed nearest the ge- nera Poecilonota and Tracbykele based on larval and adult morphology. The external morphology of 8500 specimens including the genitalia of the males, the geographical distribution, and host plant data reveals 27 valid species which are arranged in 7 groups. Twenty-one new synonymies are listed, D. frosti Nelson is reduced to a subspecies of D. callosa Casey, D. cajonensis Knüll is elevated to spe- cific Standing and the subspecies D. tenebrosa knulli is described as new. Figures of all species not previously well illustrated are given and a key to the species and sub- species is included. Introduction The North American species of Dicerca have been in a confused taxono- mic State for many years. The last revision was by T. L. Casey (1909) and included 46 new species and subspecies names, mostly based on minor struc- tural variations. This and confusion about the Status of some earlier descri- bed species have made it increasingly difficult to assign names with any con- fidence. Several species are secondary invaders of trees commonly used for lumber, shade, or fruit so are considered of some economic importance.
