Ambrosia beetles include well-known invasive pests, but most species established 19 in non-native areas do not cause any significant impact. Here we report the recent invasion and 20 rapid spread of Ambrosiodmus minor in the Southeastern US. 21 Methods: We used a combination of a multi-year survey, literature data on fungal symbionts 22 from the beetle mycangia and in vitro bioassays of fungal competition, and extensive field 23 observations of wood colonization patterns. 24 Results. In less than seven years, A. minor abundance has increased many-fold in Florida. The 25 beetle is associated with an aggressive wood-rot fungus Flavodon ambrosius. Joint colonization 26 of wood by A. minor and F. ambrosius results in extensive white rot (lignin removal). The 27 invasion of this symbiosis may impact an ecosystem function previously considered not 28 influenced by non-native ambrosia beetles: wood decay. We suggest monitoring of the impact of 29 this invasion on native wood-inhabiting organisms, biomass degradation and the carbon cycle 30 throughout the region.

LINGAFELTER Systematic Entomology Laboratory, Agriculture Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution,Washington, DC 20013-7012, U.S.A. Current address: 8920 South Bryerly Ct., Hereford, AZ 85615, U.S.A. ABSTRACT This article presents both ethnoentomological notes on Nahuatl and Mixtec language terms as they are applied to Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) and distributional records for species collected during three projects carried out in the states of Guerrero and Puebla, Mexico. Some comparative data from other Mesoamerican and Native American languages are discussed. Indigenous common names are mapped onto current taxonomic nomenclature, and an analysis is offered of the logical basis for Indigenous classification: the exclusion of some cerambycids and the inclusion of other beetles in the nominal native “cerambycid” category. New state distributional records for the Cerambycidae collected in this study are offered for Guerrero: Bebelis picta Pascoe, Callipogon senex Dupont, Neocompsa macrotricha Martins, Olenosus ser- rimanus Bates, Ornithia mexicana zapotensis Tippmann, Stenygra histrio Audinet-Serville, Strongylaspis championi Bates, Lissonotus flavocinctus puncticollis Bates, and Nothopleurus lobigenis Bates; and Puebla: Juiaparus mexicanus (Thomson), Ptychodes guttulatus Dillon and Dillon, and Steirastoma senex White. Key Words: linguistics, etymology, Nahuatl, Mixtec, longhorned beetle, wood-borer DOI.org/10.1649/0010-065X-71.2.301 The present article emerges from two language shapes.

  • Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve
    Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve Arthropods are characterized by having jointed limbs and exoskeletons. They include a diverse assortment of creatures: Insects, spiders, crustaceans (crayfish, crabs, pill bugs), centipedes and millipedes among others. Column Headings Scientific Name: The phenomenal diversity of arthropods, creates numerous difficulties in the determination of species. Positive identification is often achieved only by specialists using obscure monographs to ‘key out’ a species by examining microscopic differences in anatomy. For our purposes in this survey of the fauna, classification at a lower level of resolution still yields valuable information. For instance, knowing that ant lions belong to the Family, Myrmeleontidae, allows us to quickly look them up on the Internet and be confident we are not being fooled by a common name that may also apply to some other, unrelated something. With the Family name firmly in hand, we may explore the natural history of ant lions without needing to know exactly which species we are viewing. In some instances identification is only readily available at an even higher ranking such as Class. Millipedes are in the Class Diplopoda. There are many Orders (O) of millipedes and they are not easily differentiated so this entry is best left at the rank of Class. A great deal of taxonomic reorganization has been occurring lately with advances in DNA analysis pointing out underlying connections and differences that were previously unrealized. For this reason, all other rankings aside from Family, Genus and Species have been omitted from the interior of the tables since many of these ranks are in a state of flux.

LINGAFELTER Systematic Entomology Lab, Plant Sciences Institute, Agriculture Research Service, USDA, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, MRC-168, Washington, DC 20013-7012 U. S. A. [email protected] Abstract Two species of Stizocera (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae: Elaphidiini) are described from Buena Vista, Ichilo Province, Santa Cruz Department, Bolivia: Stizocera delicata, new spe- cies and Stizocera ichilo, new species. Comparison of diagnostic features with the similar species Stizocera longicollis Zajciw, Stizocera rugicollis Guérin-Méneville, and Stizocera nigroapicalis Fuchs is presented. Key words: Longhorned beetles, descriptions, Buena Vista, Cerambycidae, Bolivia, Stizocera, Elaphidiini, new species, Santa Cruz Introduction Bolivia is an amazingly biodiverse country; extensive collecting near Buena Vista (Ichilo Province, Santa Cruz Department) in an area smaller than Manhattan Island, has produced over 700 species of Cerambycidae. No efforts have been made for canopy fogging or extensive Malaise trapping, so clearly the absolute number of Cerambycidae at this one site is undoubtedly higher. The longhorned beetle fauna of Bolivia is complex. Perhaps the most dominant element is the Amazonian fauna, which is widespread throughout northern Brazil and lowland Bolivia, however Bolivia possesses southern temperate and Peruvian faunal elements as well. Several widespread species that occur as far north as Mexico and Central America are also represented in Bolivia (Monné and Giesbert 1993; Hovore and Monné 2003). This paper is among the first to document the biodiversity dis- covered by the efforts of many individuals over the past five years, especially at the “Flora and Fauna Hotel” site southeast of Buena Vista.

Montgomery1, Jerome Niogret1, and Katherine E. Okins2 1USDA-ARS, Subtropical Horticulture Research Station, Miami, FL USA 2Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, DPI, CAPS, Gainesville, FL USA Field trapping studies conducted in Alachua and Marion Counties, Florida, for the redbay ambrosia beetle (Xyleborus glabratus) captured numerous non-target ambrosia beetles, providing information on species diversity and relative abundance. Traps (Lindgren funnels and sticky panels) baited with essential oil lures (manuka and phoebe) or freshly-cut bolts of avocado and lychee wood attracted 17 species of Scolytinae, including 5 species of Xyleborus. Xyleborus glabratus comprised 75% of the captures in a mixed pine-oak-swampbay forest with advanced stages of laurel wilt. The table below summarizes the species caught, representing four tribes within the Scolytinae subfamily, and their respective numbers captured over a three-month period (October-December 2009). Photos of most species are presented.

Here, we describe the identification and field testing of the pheromone blends of two species in the subfamily Cerambycinae that share 2-nonanone as an important component of their male-produced aggregation- sex pheromones, the South American Stizocera consobrina Gounelle (tribe Elaphidiini) and the North American Heterachthes quadrimaculatus Haldeman (tribe Neoibidionini). Along with 2-nonanone, males of S. consobrina also produce 1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-1,2-propanedione, whereas males of H. quadrimaculatus produce 10-methyldodecanol.
