They can seriously debilitate or kill trees and shrubs of commercial and ornamental value as well as cause damage to timber already in service. Over the past century, there has been considerable taxonomic but little biological study of the Australian Cerambycidae. Consequently, while a large proportion of the Australian cerambycid fauna is described, very little is known about their biologies, with the e~ception of some of the larger and more commercially important taxa such as Phopaoantha and Stpongytupus. While host plants of some cerambycid species are known, no published data are available for a large number of species. Much information, however, can be gleaned from the data labels of specimens held in Museums and other collections. During 1986, the cerambycid collections of the Forestry Commission of New South Wales, the Australian Museum, the Macleay Museum and the Australian National Insect Collection were examined and host plant and other data were extracted and compiled for this report. It was hoped that by doing this, a large number of interesting and important host plant records would be made more generally accessible and that other institutions might be encouraged to make their own records available. As well, this report may help to promote research into the biology and taxonomy of Australian Cerambycidae. Institutions Forestry Commission of New South Wales, Sydney (FCNI) Australian Museum, Sydney (AM) Australian National Insect Collection, Canberra (ANIC) No host records were found in the Macleay Museum collection. Cepambyoid List (Appendix 1) Cerambycid species have been arranged according to McKeown's (1947) Catatogue of the Cepambyoidae (Coteoptepa) of Austpatia except for the recent taxonomic changes of Elliott and McDonald (1968) (Stpongytupus) and Britton's (1970) description of Aphanospepma. McKeown (1945) excluded the subfamily Parandrinae from the Cerambycidae, placing them in the Cucujidae. As more recent authors (eg. Arnett 1968, Arigony 1978) place them in the Cerambycidae, I have done so with Papandpa fpenohi Blkb. While other taxonomic changes, chiefly by Stephan von Breuning have occurred since McKeown's catalogue, these were not implemented because not all of Breuning's papers were available to me at the time of completing this report. Breuning published over 600 papers between 1924 and 1983, many of which have some relevance to the taxonomy of Australian Cerambycidae. Breuning's changes to the taxonomy of the Lamiinae necessitate revision of McKeown's catalogue. Data provided are identical to those found on data labels. The current scientific name of any host species may be obtained by referring the number given in brackets after the host plant in Appendix 1 to the host plant list (Appendix 2). An asterisk after the host plant in Appendix 1 indicates an unconfirmed larval host record arising from unclear label data. - 4 - Host PLant List (Appendix 2) Host plants have been arranged in standard taxonomic order. Synonyms are given in brackets where these alternate names appeared on data 1abe1s , Common names have also 'been givenwhere appropri ate. Where the identity of host plants was uncertain, some interpretation, usinq stanrlard international and Australian botanical texts (e.g. Anonymous, 1976; Beadle et aL, 1983; Jacobs and Pickard, 1981; Willis, 1985), was necessary. If the host plant could not be adequately determined, it does not appear in Appendix 2. ' Cerambycid species recorded from any particular host plant can be obtained using the numbers in brackets appearing after the host plant in' Appendix 2 and referring back to Appendix 1.

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.

  • Utilization of Non-Native Wood by Saproxylic Insects
    Chapter 23 Utilization of Non-native Wood by Saproxylic Insects Michael D. Ulyshen, Stephen M. Pawson, Manuela Branco, Scott Horn, E. Richard Hoebeke, and Martin M. Gossner Abstract Whether intentionally or accidentally introduced, non-native woody plants now feature prominently in many ecosystems throughout the world. The dying and deadwood produced by these plants represent novel resources for saproxylic insects, but their suitability to these organisms remains poorly under- stood. We herein review existing knowledge about the utilization of non-native wood species by saproxylic insect communities and also provide several previously unpublished case studies from the USA, Germany, Portugal/Spain, and New Zealand. The first case study suggests that the relative number of beetle species utilizing non-native vs. native wood varies greatly among wood species, with some non-native species (e.g., Albizia julibrissin) supporting a high beetle diversity. A decomposition experiment found that termites did not readily attack three non-native wood species and did not contribute significantly to their decomposition in contrast to what has been shown for a native pine species. The second case study found two species of non-native wood to support a lower richness of beetles compared to two native wood species in Germany, with Pseudotsuga menziesii supporting particu- larly few species which formed just a small subset of the community collected from native Picea abies. The third case study, from Iberia, found Eucalyptus to support a relatively small number of insect species with generalist host preferences. The fourth M. D. Ulyshen (*) · S.

(Prioninae), (Parandrinae), head and (Spondylidinae), head and head and prothorax: prothorax: prothorax: E ventral A lateral C lateral F lateral B dorsal D dorsal G dorsal 9 AUSTRALIAN LONGHORN BEETLES Th e prosternal process between procoxae is always complete and extremely variable, also providing useful characters for the generic classifi cation. It is usually fl at but often arcuate or angulate and abruptly bent beyond the procoxae. In some Lamiinae, the prosternal process extends well beyond the procoxae (Fig. 156E) and articulates with a projection or a pit on the mesoventrite or is received in a deep fossa (e.g. Trigonoptera). Some genera of Cerambycinae and Lamiinae (e.g. Sybra) have an accessory mesal articulation developed as a knob on the prosternal process that fi ts into a procoxal fossa (Fig. 181B). Th e notosternal sutures are usually short and incomplete anteriorly but complete in some Prioninae. Th e procoxae are usually fl at and weakly to strongly transverse in Parandrinae, Prioninae and Spondylidinae (Fig. 11A,C,E) but are usually oval and project well below the prosternum in many Cerambycinae and Lamiinae. Th e protrochantin (Figs 11C, 164G) is exposed in all Parandrinae, Prioninae and Spondylidinae, but is sometimes concealed in Lamiinae (e.g. Stenellipsis, Fig. 178G) and Cerambycinae (e.g. Skeletodes). Th e procoxal cavities are variable but usually transverse and narrowly separated medially, with lateral extensions exposing the trochantins.

Hawkeswood & D iethard D auber Abstract: Biological and distributional notes are provided on ten species of longicorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from Papua New Guinea based on observations and collections by the first author in 1989. New larval host plant records are presented for Dihammus fasciatus fasciatus (Montrouzier), Parapepeotes togatus (Perroud), Platycmnium pustulosum (Pascoe) (viz. Ficus spec., Moraceae) and Chlorophorus austerus (Chevrolat), Dihammus australis (Boisduval) and Eczemotes granulosus (Guerin-Meneville) [viz. Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex A. Juss.) Muell. Arg., Euphorbiaceae]. Both plant species have nutritious sweet sap in their stems and branches which act as beetle attractants. Other observations and distributional notes are pro­ vided for Archetypus fulvipennis (Pascoe), Xylotrechus sp. nearX. buqueti (Laporte & Gory), Oxymagis horni (Heller) and Trigonoptera spilonota spilonota (Gestro).
