Five-year monitoring of Monochamus spp. (Col., Cerambycidae) in

Maja Jurc, Gregor Meterc, Roman Pavlin, Danijel Borkovič I method: 2007 – 2010, ethanol+α-pinene, Pheroprax® and Gallowit®, trap 1.5 m above the ground • We assessed the presence of entomofauna in four locations (Pinus nigra, P. halepensis , P. sylvestris and ). • The samples were collected in one-month intervals from May to November using four cross vane funnel traps per location with wet collecting cups and attractants.

Collection cup contained 200 ml of pink propylene glycol solution – as a killing and preservation agent. The trapped represented 24 families of the order Coleoptera, and we identified 94 .

- Curculionidae (and subfam. Scolytinae): 90.7% (21,820 specimens), containing 21 taxa and 18 species), - Cerambycidae at 6.4 % (1534 specimens), 24 taxa, 20 species; - Curculionidae at 2.5% (613 specimens), 8 species.

The trapped insects represented 19 families of the order Coleoptera, and we identified 79 + 27 sp. - The use of cross vane funnel traps can detect rich entomological biodiversity in slovene conifer forests

- The highest number of species was caught in traps, located 1.5 m above the ground

Traps, located in the canopy and containing Galloprotect 2D®, have achieved the best catch of the Monochamus spp.

Monochamus spp. population in Slovenia is low.

Two non-native Scolytinae species were detected in traps (Gnathotrichus materiarius and Xylosandrus germanus)

With the use of Galloprotect 2D® large amount of unwanted additional catch of scolytinophagous species, particularly Thanasimus formicarius and T. femoralis , was established Thank you !
