Another Neotropical Longhorn Beetle (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Apparently New to the Mainland of Florida

DACS-P-01678 Pest Alert created 11-December-2006 Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry Charles H. Bronson, Commissioner of Agriculture Another Neotropical Longhorn Beetle (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Apparently New to the Mainland of Florida Michael C. Thomas, [email protected], Taxonomic Entomologist, Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry INTRODUCTION: Oxymerus aculeatus lebasi Dupont, a distinctive yellow and black longhorn beetle, has been collected twice in Miami-Dade County in recent years, suggesting that it is established in extreme South Florida. IDENTIFICATION: This is a medium-sized (10-17mm), yellow and black beetle (Fig. 1). The combination of its somewhat fusiform body shape, truncate elytral apices with a strong external spine, and color pattern is unique in the Florida fauna and makes it readily recognizable. BIOLOGY: Little is known about the biology of this species. Other members of the tribe are reported to bore in dead, dry branches as larvae. The adults are active during the day. DISTRIBUTION: Oxymerus aculeatus lebasi has been recorded from Mexico south to Brazil, and from several islands in the Caribbean (Huedepohl 1979). It has not been recorded previously from the United States. The first Florida specimen was collected by Lynda Davis on 14-XI-2003 sitting on Callophylum sp. (Guttiferae) in a Hialeah nursery in Miami-Dade County. The second was collected by Eduardo Mendoza on 17-XI-2006 in the far northwestern part of Miami-Dade County sitting on ragweed, (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. (Compositae)).

Los insectos de esta família son conocidos vulgarmente como brocas, coleobrocas, serradores, serra paus, siendo fácilmente reconocidos por presentar antenas largas, generalmente más largas que su cuerpo. Se encontraron ejemplares de Oxymerus aculeatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) en cultivos de maíz en la Universidade Federal de Viçosa, Minas Gerais estado Brasil, durante el período de floración y causando daños a la parte reproductiva de la planta. Palabras clave: Escarabajos longicornios. Viçosa. Abstract: The adults and larvae of Cerambycidae are responsible for damage to plant species. The insects of this family are commonly known as wood borers, being easily recognized by the presence of long antennae, usually longer than the body. Specimens of Oxymerus aculeatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) were found in corn fields at the Federal Univer- sity of Viçosa, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, during the flowering period and damaging the reproductive part of the plant.

Ivie The beetles of Montserrat: an annotated checkllist Below are listed all of the beetles known to us from Montserrat, organized by family. Each has a name at the level we are able to assign it. Each has a code indicating the species’ distributional status (Table A), from single island endemic to invasive exotic. The symbol “?” associated with this ranking, indicates our lack of knowledge of a particular taxon. Following the distributional code is the original citation (if any) of the species from Montserrat, as well as any notes. This format is also followed for the sections on non‐beetle hexapods and the non‐hexapods invertebrates. Table A.

BioRisk 4(1): 193–218. doi: 10.3897/biorisk.4.56 Abstract A total of 19 alien longhorn beetle species have established in Europe where they presently account for ca. 2.8 % of the total cerambycid fauna. Most species belong to the subfamilies Cerambycinae and Laminae which are prevalent in the native fauna as well. Th e alien species mainly established during the period 1975–1999, arriving predominantly from Asia. France, Spain and Italy are by far the most invaded countries. All species have been introduced accidentally. Wood-derived products such as wood- packaging material and palettes, plants for planting, and bonsais constitute invasive pathways of increasing impor- tance. However, only few species have yet colonized natural habitats outside parks and gardens.

Exotic Bark- and Wood-Boring Coleoptera in the United States: Recent Establishments and Interceptions1
269 Exotic bark- and wood-boring Coleoptera in the United States: recent establishments and interceptions1 Robert A. Haack Abstract: Summary data are given for the 25 new species of exotic bark- and wood-boring Coleoptera first reported in the continental United States between 1985 and 2005, including 2 Buprestidae (Agrilus planipennis and Agrilus prionurus), 5 Cerambycidae (Anoplophora glabripennis, Callidiellum rufipenne, Phoracantha recurva, Sybra alternans, and Tetrops praeusta), and 18 Scolytidae (Ambrosiodmus lewisi, Euwallacea fornicatus, Hylastes opacus, Hylurgops palliatus, Hylurgus ligniperda, Orthotomicus erosus, Phloeosinus armatus, Pityogenes bidentatus, Scolytus schevyrewi, Tomicus piniperda, Xyleborinus alni, Xyleborus atratus, Xyleborus glabratus, Xyleborus pelliculosus, Xyleborus pfeilii, Xyleborus seriatus, Xyleborus similis, and Xylosandrus mutilatus). In addition, summary interception data are presented for the wood-associated beetles in the families Bostrichidae, Buprestidae, Cerambycidae, Curculionidae, Lyctidae, Platypodidae, and Scolytidae, based on the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service “Port Information Network” database for plant pests intercepted at US ports of entry from 1985 to 2000. Wood-associated insects were most often intercepted on crating, followed by dunnage and pallets. The five imported products most often associated with these 8341 interceptions were tiles, machinery, marble, steel, and ironware. A significantly higher proportion of the most frequently intercepted true bark beetles

Su distribución en Cuba abarca va- rias localidades de la provincia La Habana, zonas periféricas de Ciudad de la Habana y en territorios de la provincia Villa Clara (datos no específicos). En esos lugares habita principalmente en pastizales que presentan infestación con Acacia farnesiana y en la vegetación ruderal de bordes de caminos y manglares. Ejemplares de esta especie han sido observados y/o recolectados desde el año 2003, lo cual es una evidencia que sus poblaciones se han establecido definitivamente. Se ha encontrado crian- do en madera muerta de Conocarpus erectus, Solanum erianthum y Albizzia procera.
