Los imagos emergieron de ramas muertas de Ficus carica y Pistacia lentiscus. Este registro pone de manifiesto que esta especie continúa su expansión por el sur y occidente europeos y ha alcanzado la Península Ibérica. Se presenta también una relación de coleópteros saproxílicos o asociados a arbustos y vegetales sufruticosos de la misma localidad.

Abstract: Discovery of Xylotrechus stebbingi Gahan, 1906 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Navarre (North Spain), and other saproxylic species from the canyon of Gallipienzo. The discovery of the longhorn beetle Xylotrechus stebbingi Gahan, 1906, an invasive species native from Central Asia, in a locality of mediterranean climate of Navarre (North Spain) is presented. The imagines emerged from dead branches of Ficus carica and Pistacia lentiscus. This record shows that this species continues its expansion throughout South and Western Europe and has reached the Iberian Peninsula. -

Thesis, in Czech]. Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia, České Budějovice, Czech Republic. 34 pp. Annotation This study uses cca. 510 bp of mitochondrial 16S rDNA gene for phylogeny of the beetle family Cerambycidae particularly the subfamilies Spondylidinae and Lepturinae using methods of Minimum Evolutin, Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Analysis. Two included representatives of Dorcasominae cluster with species of the subfamilies Prioninae and Cerambycinae, confirming lack of relations to Lepturinae where still classified by some authors. The subfamily Spondylidinae, lacking reliable morfological apomorphies, is supported as monophyletic, with Spondylis as an ingroup. Our data is inconclusive as to whether Necydalinae should be better clasified as a separate subfamily or as a tribe within Lepturinae. Of the lepturine tribes, Lepturini (including the genera Desmocerus, Grammoptera and Strophiona) and Oxymirini are reasonably supported, whereas Xylosteini does not come out monophyletic in MrBayes. Rhagiini is not retrieved as monophyletic. Position of some isolated genera such as Rhamnusium, Sachalinobia, Caraphia, Centrodera, Teledapus, or Enoploderes, as well as interrelations of higher taxa within Lepturinae, remain uncertain.

This paper discusses the results of faunal and zoogeographical surveys on the longhorn beetles of the Monte Rufeno Nature Reserve and Natural Monument «Bosco del Sasseto» (central Italy, Lazio, Viterbo province). In this area 75 species of longhorn beetles have been recorded, a figure that accounts for 27% of the Italian fauna and for 46% of that of the Lazio region. Among them, Rhagium (s.str.) inquisitor inquisitor, Anastrangalia dubia dubia, Monochamus galloprovincialis and Exocentrus lusitanus are new findings for Lazio. Several species, which are rare or strongly localized in Italy or only in the Apennine, have been recorded in the study area, such as Agapanthia (s.str.) maculicornis davidi, Asemum tenuicorne, E. lusitanus, Isotomus barbarae, Necydalis ulmi, Pseudosphegesthes cinerea, Saperda octopunctata and Stenhomalus (Obriopsis) bicolor. All available records, chorotype, and distribution in Italy are provided for each species, along with a brief discussion, when relevant.

The number of species discovered in this investigation area has been raised with these findings to 108 species. Keywords: Cerambycidae, Marchfeld, Austria. Zusammenfassung In dieser Arbeit werden Funddaten von 24 Bockkäferarten (Cerambycidae) angeführt, deren Vorkommen im Marchfeld (NÖ) bisher nirgends publiziert wurden. Somit erhöht sich die Zahl der jemals im Untersuchungsgebiet festgestellten Arten auf 108 Arten. Einleitung Es ist einigermaßen erstaunlich, dass die Wälder des zentralen Marchfeldes faunis- tisch so gut wie nicht erforscht sind. Das mag wohl daran liegen, dass die Donau- und Marchauen sowie die Wacholderheiden und Trockenrasengebiete des Marchfeldes eine höhere Anziehungskraft für entomologisch Interessierte haben - und wohl schon immer gehabt haben - als die Eichen- und Kiefernwälder. Anlass zu dieser Arbeit waren meine Funde von Cerambyciden in den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten. In der Arbeit von ADLBAUER (1985), der eine Zusammenstellung der bis dahin bekannten Literatur machte und 1980-1982 auch selbst Aufsammlungen tätigte, werden für das Marchfeld bis dahin 80 Bockkäferarten gemeldet. ZABRANSKY (1989) konnte weitere 4 Arten (Stenhomalus bicolor, Saperda perforata, Stenostola ferrea und Phytoecia nigricornis) in den Donau-Auen feststellen, womit sich die Zahl der bekannten Arten auf 84 erhöhte. 24 weitere, bis jetzt noch nicht publizierte Arten werden in dieser Arbeit dokumen- tiert. Dabei handelt es sich vielfach um gar nicht so seltene Arten, die in der benach- barten Slowakischen Republik in Grenznähe zu Österreich schon längst bekannt sind (siehe SLAMA 1998). -

Introduction Braconinae is a large subfamily of cyclostomes group of parasitic wasps in the family Braconidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea). They constitute more than 2900 described species that are mostly tropical and subtropical (YU et al. 2012). Members of this subfamily are often black, red, orange and/or white in colours. They are small to medium-sized insects, characterized by their concave labrum, absence of epicnemial carina, absence of occipital carina, females have extended ovipositor (SHARKEY 1993). -

Garonna5 · Elisabetta Rossi2 Received: 23 February 2021 / Accepted: 8 April 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract Molecular assays based on qPCR TaqMan Probes were developed to identify three species of the genus Xylosandrus, X. compactus, X. crassiusculus and X. germanus (Coleoptera Curculionidae Scolytinae). These ambrosia beetles are xylopha- gous species alien to Europe, causing damages to many ornamental and fruiting trees as well as shrubs. DNA extraction was carried out from adults, larvae and biological samples derived from insect damages on infested plants. For X. compactus, segments of galleries in thin infested twigs were cut and processed; in the case of X. crassiusculus, raw frass extruded from exit holes was used, while DNA of X. germanus was extracted from small wood chips removed around insect exit holes. The assays were inclusive for the target species and exclusive for all the non-target species tested. The LoD was 3.2 pg/µL for the frass of X. crassiusculus and 0.016 ng/µL for the woody matrices of the other two species. Both repeatability and repro- ducibility were estimated on adults and woody samples, showing very low values ranging between 0.00 and 4.11. -
