Introduction Begin key This identification aid is a comprehensive key to the genera of western North American Cerambycidae (roundheaded or long- horned wood borers). It also includes several genera (and species) that are either established in the region or that are targets of USDA and other exotic cerambycid surveys. Keys to commonly trapped or encountered (based on ODA’s years of wood borer surveys) indigenous species are also included. *This aid will be most reliable west of the Rocky Mountains. It may not function well with taxa found in the desert West and east of the Rockies. This aid is designed to be used by individuals with a wide range of taxonomic expertise. Images of all character states are provided. Begin key Use of This Key: I This key is designed like a traditional dichotomous key, with couplets. However, PowerPoint navigational features have been used for efficiency.

  • Artificial Laboratory Breeding of Xylophagous Insect Larvae and Its Application in Cytogenetic Studies 2)
    Eos, t. LXII, págs. 7-22 (1986). Artificial laboratory breeding of xylophagous insect larvae and its application in cytogenetic studies 2) BY J. R. BARAGAÑO, A. NOTARIO y M. G. DE VIEDMA. INTRODUCTION HAYDAK, in 1936, managed to rear Oryzaephilus surinantensis (L.) in the la- boratory using an artificial diet. Many researchers have followed in his footsteps, so that since then, approximately 260 species of Coleoptera have been raised on nonnatural diets. Among these species there are 121 which are eminently xylophagous. They belong to seven families (Buprestidae, Elateridae, Bostrychiclae, Lyctidae, Myc- teridae, Cerambyciclae and Curculionidae). Their importance, from the economic point of view, varies widely : some of them attack living trees making them a pest ; others feed on dead or decaying wood so that they may be considered harmless or even beneficial (for example in the decomposition of tree stumps in forests) ; finally, a few cause damage to seasoned timber. Therefore, specialists in artificial breeding have been motivated by different objectives, and so have chosen the insect or insects in each case which were most suitable for obtaining specific desired results. It is clear that in the majority of cases the choice was not made at random. Generally, the insect studied was either recently established as a pest or well documented as such. •With these laboratory breeding experiments it is possible on the one hand to draw conclusions about the insects' nutritive requirements, parasitism, ethology etc ; and on the other to obtain enough specimens to try out different phytosanitary treatments with them. Both of these achievements are applicable to effectiye control of the insect problem.

  • The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution
    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

In this study, two new genera of Desmiphorini (Lamiinae) are proposed: Cleidaria gen. nov., to include Cleidaria cleidae sp. nov. from the state of Chiapas in Mexico, and Obscenoides gen. nov. for Desmiphora (D.) compta Martins & Galileo, 2005. The shape of tarsal claws of Cleidaria cleidae sp. nov. (abruptly narrowed from basal half) is so far, not found in any current genera of the tribe. With respect to Obscenoides compta (Martins & Galileo, 2005) comb. nov., the genitalia of males have an unusual shape with non-retractile parameres. The character combination related to this genital structure is unknown to us in other species in the family, and hypotheses about its function are suggested. Key-Words. Genital morphology; Longhorned beetles; New taxa; Taxonomy. INTRODUCTION the current definitions of some tribes, especially based on the works of Breuning do not take into Lamiinae (Cerambycidae), also known as flat- account adaptive convergences and use superfi- faced longhorns, with more than 21,000 described cial characters to subordinate taxa. species in about 3,000 genera and 87 tribes is Among these tribes, Desmiphorini Thomson, the largest subfamily of Cerambycidae occurring 1860 is not an exception, and its “boundaries” are worldwide (Tavakilian & Chevillotte, 2019).

The species occurring in Michigan is B. clwmplaini and not Brachyleptura vagans as recorded by Gosling and Gosling (1976). Because of confm,ion between these two species in the literature, Linsley and Chemsak were not able to list a host plant for B. champlain!.

  • North American Species of Cerambycid Beetles in the Genus Neoclytus Share a Common Hydroxyhexanone-Hexanediol Pheromone Structural Motif
    FOREST ENTOMOLOGY North American Species of Cerambycid Beetles in the Genus Neoclytus Share a Common Hydroxyhexanone-Hexanediol Pheromone Structural Motif ANN M. RAY,1,2 JOCELYN G. MILLAR,3 JARDEL A. MOREIRA,3 J. STEVEN MCELFRESH,3 4,5 6 4 ROBERT F. MITCHELL, JAMES D. BARBOUR, AND LAWRENCE M. HANKS J. Econ. Entomol. 108(4): 1860–1868 (2015); DOI: 10.1093/jee/tov170 ABSTRACT Many species of cerambycid beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae are known to use male-produced pheromones composed of one or a few components such as 3-hydroxyalkan-2-ones and the related 2,3-alkanediols. Here, we show that this pheromone structure is characteristic of the ceram- bycine genus Neoclytus Thomson, based on laboratory and field studies of 10 species and subspecies. Males of seven taxa produced pheromones composed of (R)-3-hydroxyhexan-2-one as a single compo- nent, and the synthetic pheromone attracted adults of both sexes in field bioassays, including the eastern North American taxa Neoclytus caprea (Say), Neoclytus mucronatus mucronatus (F.), and Neoclytus scu- tellaris (Olivier), and the western taxa Neoclytus conjunctus (LeConte), Neoclytus irroratus (LeConte), and Neoclytus modestus modestus Fall. Males of the eastern Neoclytus acuminatus acuminatus (F.) and the western Neoclytus tenuiscriptus Fall produced (2S,3S)-2,3-hexanediol as their dominant or sole pheromone component. Preliminary data also revealed that males of the western Neoclytus balteatus LeConte produced a blend of (R)-3-hydroxyhexan-2-one and (2S,3S)-2,3-hexanediol but also (2S,3S)- 2,3-octanediol as a minor component. The fact that the hydroxyketone-hexanediol structural motif is consistent among these North American species provides further evidence of the high degree of conservation of pheromone structures among species in the subfamily Cerambycinae.

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.

  • A New Species of Batyle from Utah (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)1
    No. 4 GUINEA PIG HEART AND HYPOTHERMIA 233 A NEW SPECIES OF BATYLE FROM UTAH (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE)1 JOSEF N. KNULL College of Biological Sciences, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210 ABSTRACT Specimens of a cerambycid belonging to genus Batyle, collected on Compositae 20 miles east of Escelante, Garfield Co., Utah, and sent for identification, are identified as belong- ing to a new species, B. knowltoni. The black color, short antennae, coarse dorsal punc- tures, and black pubescence distinguish it from other species in this genus. A small series, a black Batyle, unlike anything previously recorded, was received for identification from Dr. W. J. Hanson, Utah State University, Logan, Utah. A description of the form follows: Batyle knowltoni sp. n. Male.—Form and size of Batyle suturalis (Say); integument shining black, clothed with black pubescence. Head coarsely punctured; front depressed, finely punctate, central area smooth; antennae extending past middle of elytra when laid along side. Pronotum globose, wider than long, widest back of middle, wider at base than at apex; surface with apex and base transversely margined, irregularly coarsely punctured, leaving an irregular smooth area in front of scutellum, an upright black hair arising from each puncture; prosternum transversely impressed in front of coxae, densely punctured. Scutellum finely punctured, pubescence short. Elytra at base wider than widest part of pronotum; sides constricted back of base, then subparallel to separately broadly rounded apices which do not cover last dorsal segment of abdomen; surface densely, irregularly, coarsely punctured, punctures on basal three-fifths coarser than on pronotum, becoming smaller toward apices; a long black erect hair arising from each puncture on basal half, apical half with shorter recumbent pubescence.

  • (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), with New Records from Poland
    © Entomologica Fennica. 10 July 2019 New data on the distribution, biology and morphology of Asemum tenuicorne Kraatz, 1879 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), with new records from Poland Jerzy M. Gutowski & Jacek Kurzawa* Gutowski, J. M. & Kurzawa, J. 2019: New data on the distribution, biology and morphology of Asemum tenuicorne Kraatz, 1879 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), with new records fromPoland. Entomol.Fennica 30: 5771. https://doi.org/ 10.33338/ef.82920 We report the discovery of the pyrophilous species, Asemum tenuicorne (Cole- optera: Cerambycidae) in the Bia³owie¿a Primeval Forest (NE Poland) in 2009 and 2016. This species was previously known only fromSouthern Europe and one locality detached fromthe mainrange on the island of Gotska Sandön in Southern Sweden. Information on its northern spread and current distribution is summarized and critically analyzed and new data on its biology are provided. The morphology of A. tenuicorne adults was studied using 46 specimens from different localities and compared with 63 specimens of the widely distributed Asemum striatum. Differences between the two species are presented and illus- trated using external features, morphometric measurements, shape of the male copulatory organs and wing venation. J. M.

  • A Revision and Phylogenetic Analysis of Trichrous
    A revision and phylogenetic analysis of Trichrous Chevrolat 1858, and a review of Plectocerum Dejean 1835 (Coleoptera:Cerambycidae:Elaphidiini) by Kelvin Antonio Guerrero A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology Montana State University © Copyright by Kelvin Antonio Guerrero (2001) Abstract: Trichrous Chevrolat was found to be polyphyletic, with 17 named forms belonging to 2 tribes, 5 lineages, and 15 species. Three species are recognized in the redefined elaphidiine genus Trichrous: T. irroratus (Olivier), T. jaegeri Chevrolat, and T. nigripes Fisher. The monophyly of Trichrous sensu nov. is supported by synapomorphies of the hypomeron punctation (relative to disc) and pronotal shape. The relationship between the included species was hypothesized as [[T irroratus, T nigripes] T jaegeri]. This monophyletic genus is endemic to Hispaniola. Trichrous bicolor Fisher (not Salle) is placed under T. jaegeri Chevrolat as a NEW SYNONYMY. Poeciloderma lineolatus White and T pilipennis Chevrolat are moved to Plectocerum Dejean as P. lineolatum (White) NEW COMBINATION and P. pilipenne (Chevrolat) NEW COMBINATION. Eleven names are provisionally removed to the heteropsine genus Heterops: Mallosoma bicolor Salle, Poeciloderma terminalis White, Poeciloderma basalis White, T brevicomis Zayas, T. dimidiatipennis Chevrolat, T. divisus Chevrolat, T. jamaicensis Chevrolat, T. major Gahan, T. prasinus Cazier and Lacey, T. violaceipennis Fisher, and T. vittatus Fisher are now treated as H. bicolor (Salle) NEW COMBINATION, H. terminalis (White) NEW COMBINATION, H. basalis (White) NEW COMBINATION, H. brevicomis (Zayas) NEW COMBINATION, H. dimidiatipennis (Chevrolat) NEW COMBINATION, H. divisus (Chevrolat) NEW COMBINATION, H. major (Gahan) NEW COMBINATION, H. prasinus (Cazier and Lacey) NEW COMBINATION, H.
