Millar3,4 · Lawrence M. Hanks5 · Alain Roques1 Received: 14 February 2018 / Revised: 26 May 2018 / Accepted: 28 May 2018 / Published online: 7 June 2018 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The accidental introduction of exotic wood-boring cerambycid beetles represents an ever-increasing threat to forest biosecu- rity and the economies of many countries. Early detection of such species upon arrival at potential points-of-entry is challeng- ing. Because pheromone components are often conserved among related species in the family Cerambycidae, we tested the generic attractiveness of diferent blends of pheromones composed of increasing numbers of pheromone components at both potential points-of-entry and in natural forests in France during 2014–2017. Initially, two diferent four-component blends were compared, one composed of fuscumol, fuscumol acetate, geranylacetone, and monochamol, and the other composed of 3-hydroxyhexan-2-one, anti-2,3-hexanediol, 2-methylbutanol, and prionic acid. In a second step, host volatiles (ethanol and [-]-α-pinene) were added, and fnally, we tested the efectiveness of a mixture of all eight pheromone components with the two host volatiles. Overall, 13,153 cerambycid beetles of 118 species were trapped. The 114 native species trapped represent 48% of the French fauna, including more than 50% of the species in 25 of the 41 cerambycid tribes.

The risks presented by different trade pathways are assessed and phytosanitary measures to reduce the risks are proposed. The conclusion of the PRA, based on EPPO PRA guideline no. 1, is that these pests present a serious risk to European coniferous forests. Introduction A Pest Risk Analysis (PRA) for the territories of the European Union (as PRA area) was carried out on Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and its vectors in the genus Monochamus, on the basis of information compiled in the format of EPPO PRA Guideline no. 1 ‘Check-list of information required for PRA’ (OEPP/EPPO, 1993) (Part A). A detailed analysis was made of the risks presented by different trade pathways (Part B) and of the phytosanitary measures to reduce these risks (Part C).

Biodiversity Data Journal 5: e22296. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.5.e22296 Abstract Urban green spaces play an important role in maintaining urban biodiversity in the Tokyo Metropolis, Japan. Plant-dependent insect assemblages such as Cerambycidae, in particular, are likely influenced by the existence of green spaces in Tokyo’s urbanised environments. This study is the first comprehensive inventory of the cerambycid fauna in the Komaba Campus of the University of Tokyo. A cerambycid assemblage composed of a total of 25 species was recorded within the Komaba Campus site and compared to cerambycid assemblages in nine other green spaces distributed throughout Tokyo. The results indicated that the species number in the campus was similar to that recoded in a similar-sized green space in coastal Tokyo.

On examination of a large series of the exam­ ples, I come to express the opinion that the separation between both species is quite unstable. So, in this paper, I reserve the name A. amllrensis on the Japanese examples. Trivial Name: Amur-tobikera. NEW SPECIES OF INSECTS FROM JAPAN DESCRIBED DURING THE YEAR 1935* HYMENOPTERA MICKEL, C.

    Catalog and Bibliography of Longhorned Beetles from Borneo (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Daniel J. Heffern - Electronic Version, 2005.1 Abstract The genus-group and species-group names for Cerambycidae occuring in Borneo are summarized. All genus-group names, including synonyms and subgenera, are given with their type species. All species-group names and synonyms, specify their original genus. For each species and subspecies from Borneo, their extralimital distributions are included, if applicable. Citations are presented for each name. References for identification keys and illustrations are cited, if available. Complete bibliographies for all cited references are given. There are no proposed changes to nomenclature. Comments about biogeography and taxonomic problems are given. Species that are excluded from the Bornean fauna are listed. An index is included for all genus-group names.

Longhorned beetles include the family Cerambycidae, although some taxonomists treat certain subfamilies as families. In this catalog, the work of Lawrence and Newton (1995) is followed which recognizes thirteen subfamilies in the world: Oxypeltinae, Disteniinae, Philinae, Anoplodermatinae, Parandrinae, Prioninae, Spondylidinae, Vesperinae, Apatophyseinae, Necydalinae, Lepturinae, Cerambycinae and Lamiinae. There has been, and certainly will always be disagreement on the number and relationships of these subfamilies.
