Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Japanese Journal of Systematic Entomology, 25 (2): 207–211. December 30, 2019.

Eight holotypes were reidentified, and their habitus and labels were photographed. Of these, seven were originally described by Matsushita (1941) and one by Ohbayashi (1941a). The following taxonomic changes were proposed in accordance with the results of our reexamination of these holotypes: Acrocyrtidus longipes (Matsushita, 1941) is treated as a junior synonym of Acrocyrtidus elegantulus elegantulus (Matsushita, 1933); Novorondonia bisignata (Hayashi, 1974) is treated as a junior synonym of Novorondonia hirayamai (Matsushita, 1941), comb. nov.; Eutaenia formosana Matsushita, 1941 is treated as a junior synonym of Peblephaeus ziczac (Matsushita, 1940). Introduction label are demarcated by double quotations (“ ”), and English translation for Japanese notation follows immediately after in Shujiro Hirayama (1887–1954) was a famous entomologist parentheses. Two types of appended labels are provided for all active in early days of the Japanese entomology. He operated type specimens, of which, the holotype label clearly indicates the Hirayama Museum in Inokashira Park, Tokyo, and “holotype” in red letters with the original name, and the published the entomological journal “Mushi no Sekai” as determination label shown with the updated scientific name. well as colour illustrated books such as “Illustrated Guide of Thousand Insects in Color (Hirayama, 1933, 1937 (2nd Type Specimens of Longhorned Beetles in ed.))” and “Illustrated Guide of Beetles in Color (Hirayama, Hirayama Collection 1940)”. His insect collection was organized for the purpose of exhibition at the museum, but specimens of longhorned Dymasius hirayamai Matsushita, 1941 beetles are especially numerous because his close colleague, (Fig. 1) Kazuo Ohbayashi, an excellent specialist of the group, had assisted him in sorting and classification (Suda, 2009, 2011).

Abstract Beetles (Coleoptera) are the most diverse group of animals in the world and occur in many environments. In Atlantic and Amazon rainforests, the scorpion-beetle Onychocerus albitarsis (Cerambycidae), can be found. It has venom glandules and inoculators organs in the antenna extremities. Two injuries in humans are reported, showing different patterns of skin reaction after the stings.

Sydney, May 2, I947 PREFACE. The accompanying Catalogue of the Cerambycidae is the first, dealing solely with Australian genera and species, to be published since that of Pascoe in 1867. Masters' Catalogue of the Described Coleoptera of Australia, 1885-1887, included the Cerambycidae, and was based on the work of Gemminger and Harold. A new catalogue has been badly needed owing to the large number of new species described in recent years, and the changes in the already complicated synonymy. The Junk catalogue, covering the Coleoptera of the world, is defective in many respects, as well as being too unwieldy, and too costly for the average Australian worker. Many of the references in the Junk catalogue are inaccurate, synonymy misleading, and the genera under which the species were originally described omitted, and type localities are not quoted. In this catalogue every care has been taken to ensure accuracy, and the fact that it has been used, in slip form, over a number.

Read Full License Page 1/28 Abstract Background: Mongolian oak forest is a deciduous secondary forest with a large distribution area in the Changbai Mountain area. The majority of longhorn beetle species feed on forest resources, The number of some species is also large, which has a potential risk for forest health, and have even caused serious damage to forests. Clarifying the distribution pattern of longhorn beetles in Mongolian oak forests is of great scientic value for the monitoring and control of some pest populations. Methods: 2018 and 2020, ying interception traps were used to continuously collect longhorn samples from the canopy and bottom of the ridge, southern slope, and northern slope of the oak forest in Changbai Mountain, and the effects of topographic conditions on the spatial distribution pattern of longhorn beetles were analyzed. Results: A total of 4090 individuals, 56 species, and 6 subfamilies of longhorn beetles were collected in two years. The number of species and individuals of Cerambycinae and Lamiinae were the highest, and the number of Massicus raddei (Blessig), Moechotypa diphysis (Pascoe), Mesosa myopsmyops (Dalman), and Prionus insularis Motschulsky was relatively abundant.

Pheromone lures have been developed for cerambycids in many parts of the world, but to date, have not been tested in Australia. In this study, we tested the efficacy of several pheromones, identified from North American and European species, as attractants for cerambycids at three sites in southeast Queensland, Australia.
