Checklist of the Longhorn Beetles (Family Cerambycidae) of Queen’s University Biological Station Mark Andrew Conboy December 2010 This list of 45 species of longhorn beetles from 5 subfamilies was compiled primarily from specimens in the Queen’s University Biological Station collection. Scientific and common names (when they are available) are given for each species. I suspect that many more longhorns will be added as future collecting occurs and any new records will be added to future editions of this checklist. A good field guide for identifying longhorn beetles at QUBS is Northeastern Longhorned Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) (Yanega 1996).

As Indicators of Forest Biodiversity and Available Resources in Kitchener, Ontario
Exploring the Importance of Saproxylic Beetles (Coleoptera) as Indicators of Forest Biodiversity and Available Resources in Kitchener, Ontario by Emily E. Trendos A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Environment and Resource Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2017 © Emily Trendos 2017 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Across North America insects have generally taken a backseat to more conspicuous animals (e.g. birds, mammals) and are not regularly monitored by ecosystem managers. They commonly enter the spotlight when an insect is an invasive pest species causing significant damage, whereas less attention is given to studying the population dynamics of native species. This type of monitoring can be difficult for municipalities or conservation authorities due to economical limitations, time needed for sampling, and required taxonomic knowledge. However, this type of research needs to be incorporated into management plans in order to effectively facilitate sustainable ecosystems. Trees and forests provide unique ecosystem services and an important component of their health lies with saproxylic beetles. Relentless urban sprawl and other anthropogenic influences continue to pressure these ecosystems into new stable states, altering their function and composition. Invasive species like the emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) and the resulting management practices put into place by managers may have effects on resident insect species that remain unknown if insect monitoring initiatives are not put into place.

To support the potential introduction of this Host range new parasitoid for biocontrol of EAB in North America, we surveyed EAB eggs on infested green ash (Fraxinus Risk assessment pennsylvanica Marsh) trees in the Russian Far East and documented the rate of EAB egg parasitism by O. pri- Wood borers morskyensis. After establishing quarantine colonies of O. primorskyensis in the United States, we tested the parasitoid Agrilus planipennis against eggs of 30 taxa of insects, mostly native North American wood-boring beetles in the families Buprestidae and Cerambycidae plus one unidentified weevil, one predatory coccinellid, one pentatomid and one moth. Fieldob- servations showed that EAB egg parasitism rate ranged from 23 to 44% in the Russian Far East and O. primorskyensis was the only egg parasitoid recovered from the parasitized eggs collected there.

C. L Gosling! ABSTRACT Eighty-nine species of Cerambycidae were collected during a five-year survey of the woodboring beetle fauna of the Huron Mountains in Marquette County, Michigan. Host plants were deteTITIined for 51 species. Observations were made of species abundance and phenology, and the blossoms visited by anthophilous cerambycids. The Huron Mountains area comprises approximately 13,000 ha of forested land in northern Marquette County in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. More than 7000 ha are privately owned by the Huron Mountain Club, including a designated, 2200 ha, Nature Research Area. The variety of habitats combines with differences in the nature and extent of prior disturbance to produce an exceptional diversity of forest communities, making the area particularly valuable for studies of forest insects.

Week in the Woods June: Week Two
This Week in the Woods June: Week Two This Week in the Woods, we visited our favorite pink lady’s slipper patch and discovered a couple of beautiful beetles crawling on the blossoms. Analeptura lineola, sometimes called the flower longhorn beetle, is a common forest beetle that uses beech, hornbeam, and hophornbeam as its larval hosts. In its adult form, it feeds on the pollen and nectar of various flowers. Soon after we took its photo, this beetle made its way into the “lobster trap” of the lady’s slipper bloom. Whether it found or bit its way out again, we don’t know. For more about lady’s slippers’ technique of temporarily trapping pollinators, see this Outside Story essay by Susan Shea. Here are some other nature sights this week (clockwise): Tree swallows are so common in our region that they are often ignored (or grumpily observed, as they occupy intended bluebird houses), but they’re fun to watch, be they skimming water off the surface of a river with their beaks at high speeds, or performing acrobatic dives after flying insects. We’ve often seen a mated pair switching off at the entrance of their next cavity, as in this photo, and after the chicks hatch, the parents will frequently emerge from the cavity with white blobs in their beaks. These are fecal sacs – exactly what they sound like – which they’ll discreetly drop at a distance. You can see a Northern Woodlands blog post about fecal sacs, and video demonstration of a junco feeding its young and removing a fecal sac, at this link.

The Longhorned Beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the George Washington Memorial Parkway
Banisteria, Number 44, pages 7-12 © 2014 Virginia Natural History Society The Longhorned Beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the George Washington Memorial Parkway Brent W. Steury U.S. National Park Service 700 George Washington Memorial Parkway Turkey Run Park Headquarters McLean, Virginia 22101 Ted C. MacRae Monsanto Company 700 Chesterfield Parkway West Chesterfield, Missouri 63017 ABSTRACT Eighty species in 60 genera of cerambycid beetles were documented during a 17-year field survey of a national park (George Washington Memorial Parkway) that spans parts of Fairfax County, Virginia and Montgomery County, Maryland. Twelve species are documented for the first time from Virginia. The study increases the number of longhorned beetles known from the Potomac River Gorge to 101 species. Malaise traps and hand picking (from vegetation or at building lights) were the most successful capture methods employed during the survey. Periods of adult activity, based on dates of capture, are given for each species. Relative abundance is noted for each species based on the number of captures. Notes on plant foraging associations are noted for some species. Two species are considered adventive to North America. Key words: Cerambycidae, Coleoptera, longhorned beetles, Maryland, national park, new state records, Potomac River Gorge, Virginia. INTRODUCTION that feed on flower pollen are usually boldly colored and patterned, often with a bee-like golden-yellow The Cerambycidae, commonly known as pubescence. Nocturnal species are more likely glabrous longhorned beetles because of the length of their and uniformly dark, while bicolored species (often antennae, represent a large insect family of more than black and red) are thought to mimic other beetles which 20,000 described species, including 1,100 in North are distasteful.

The Lepturine
The Lepturine Longhorn Beetles (Cerambycidae: Lepturinae) (The large beetle on the bottom right does not occur in the Pacific Northwest.) of the Pacific Northwest and Other Stories Phil Schapker, M.S. Web version 1.1 April, 2017 Forward to Web Version 1.1 - May, 2017: The current work is a continuation of a chapter from my MS thesis at Oregon State University, completed in Sept. of 2014. Much of this version is copied directly from that document with several additions and corrections to the text, and a number of new photographs. The intitial goal of my thesis was to create a field guide to the PNW lepturines that was useful both to amateur enthusiasts and to scientists in need of a more detailed technical resource. Unfortunately, the work was forshortened due to time constraints for finishing at OSU, and my ultimate pursuit remains a work in progress. After a brief hiatus from active research, I’ve taken back up the effort. The key to genera is largely based on Linsley & Chemsak’s two-part monograph published in 1972 and 1976. It is currently undergoing testing with the intention to incorporate simpler language, a glossary, and photographic aids. I would greatly appreciate any comments, ideas, corrections, or additions. Feel free to email [email protected]. Acknowledgements: Special thanks to Brady Richards for his meticulous help in proofreading the present draft and getting it up on BugGuide. Also to my former adviser, Chris Marshall, for his continued advice and mentorship, and for allowing me to use the resources of the Oregon State Arthropod collection to conduct my research and photograph specimens.
