    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.

  • The Longhorn Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the City of Kragujevac (Central Serbia)
    Kragujevac J. Sci. 37 (2015) 149-160 . UDC 591.9:595.768.1(497.11) THE LONGHORN BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE) OF THE CITY OF KRAGUJEVAC (CENTRAL SERBIA) Filip Vukajlovi ć and Nenad Živanovi ć Institute of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Science, University of Kragujevac, Radoja Domanovi ća 12, 34000 Kragujevac, Republic of Serbia E-mails: [email protected], [email protected] (Received March 31, 2015) ABSTRACT. This paper represents the contribution to the knowledge of the longhorn beetle (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) fauna of the City of Kragujevac (Central Serbia). Ba- sed on the material collected from 2010 to 2014 by authors, as well as on available litera- ture data, 66 species and 13 subspecies from five subfamilies were recorded, while the highest number of species is registered within the subfamilies Cerambycinae (26) and La- miinae (19). Four species are rarely found in Serbia: Vadonia moesiaca (Daniel & Daniel, 1891), Stictoleptura cordigera (Füsslins, 1775), S. erythroptera (Hagenbach, 1822), and Isotomus speciosus (Schneider, 1787). Subspecies Saphanus piceus ganglbaueri Branc- sik, 1886 is Balkan endemic. Six of recorded taxa [Cerambyx (Cerambyx ) cerdo cerdo Linnaeus, 1758, Morimus asper funereus (Mulsant, 1863), Agapanthia kirbyi (Gyllenhal, 1817), Cortodera flavimana flavimana (Waltl, 1838), Vadonia moesiaca and Saphanus piceus ganglbaueri ] are protected both nationally and internationally. The largest number of recorded taxa belong to Euro-Mediterranean (26) and Euro-Siberian (21) chorotypes. This suggests that both the habitats and climate in the City of Kragujevac and Central Serbia are increasingly assuming more sub-Mediterranean and subtropical features, primarily due to the negative human impact. Keywords: Cerambycidae, fauna, Kragujevac, chorotypes, Central Serbia.

  • Species Richness and Phenology of Cerambycid Beetles in Urban Forest Fragments of Northern Delaware
    ECOLOGY AND POPULATION BIOLOGY Species Richness and Phenology of Cerambycid Beetles in Urban Forest Fragments of Northern Delaware 1 1,2 3 4 5 K. HANDLEY, J. HOUGH-GOLDSTEIN, L. M. HANKS, J. G. MILLAR, AND V. D’AMICO Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 1–12 (2015); DOI: 10.1093/aesa/sav005 ABSTRACT Cerambycid beetles are abundant and diverse in forests, but much about their host rela- tionships and adult behavior remains unknown. Generic blends of synthetic pheromones were used as lures in traps, to assess the species richness, and phenology of cerambycids in forest fragments in north- ern Delaware. More than 15,000 cerambycid beetles of 69 species were trapped over 2 yr. Activity periods were similar to those found in previous studies, but many species were active 1–3 wk earlier in 2012 than in 2013, probably owing to warmer spring temperatures that year. In 2012, the blends were tested with and without ethanol, a host plant volatile produced by stressed trees. Of cerambycid species trapped in sufficient numbers for statistical analysis, ethanol synergized pheromone trap catches for seven species, but had no effect on attraction to pheromone for six species. One species was attracted only by ethanol. The generic pheromone blend, especially when combined with ethanol, was an effective tool for assessing the species richness and adult phenology of many cerambycid species, including nocturnal, crepuscular, and cryptic species that are otherwise difficult to find. KEY WORDS Cerambycidae, attractant, phenology, forest fragmentation Cerambycid beetles can be serious pests of forest trees long as those in Europe, almost half of the forests in the and wood products (Speight 1989, Solomon 1995).

[email protected]; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3052-2910 Abstract New longhorn beetle taxon, Acanthoglyptus picollus gen. et sp. nov., is described and figured from Baltic amber found in the Baltic Sea coast, Yantarny settlement, Kaliningrad Region, Russia. The new amber inclusions presented here prove the occurrence of the tribe Anaglyptini in the ‘Baltic amber forest’, giving this group at least a Palaeogene age. The closest living relative of the extinct beetle appears to be the Chinese genus Yoshiakioclytus Niisato, 2007. A brief updated list of the described longhorn beetles from European ambers, including 6 subfamilies, 17 tribes, 25 genera, and 27 species is compiled. Key words: Beetles, fossil resin, new taxa, palaeontology Zusammenfassung Die Bockkäferart Acanthoglyptus picollus gen. et sp. nov. wird aus dem Baltischen Bernstein der Ostseeküste (Yantarny, Kaliningrader Gebiet, Russland) beschrieben. Der vorliegende Bernsteineinschluss weist auf das Vorkommen des Tribus Anaglyptini im „Baltischen Bernsteinwald“ hin und deutet auf ein zumindest paläogenes Alter für diese Gruppe.

This apparent conservation of pheromone structures within the family suggests that field trials of common pheromone components could be used as a means of attracting multiple species, which then could be targeted for full identification of their pheromones.
