The present study has consolidated longhorn beetle fauna of Bihar, which comprising 15 species, 14 genera, 11 tribes under K e yw or ds three subfamilies. Among the subfamilies, the Cerambycinae and Lamiinae Longhorn Beetles shares seven species each and Prioninae consist of one longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae: Coleoptera) species. The sal heartwood borer, Hoplocerambyx spinicornis (Newman, 1842), Batocera rufomaculata (Degeer, 1775), Trirachys holosericeus (Fabricius, 1787) are considered as the most devastating insect pests of forest in Bihar and adjacent states.

However, the Forest, Bruchid, Parasitoid.. forests and trees like many other plants, suffer from attack by insect pests and diseases which cause a lot of damage, resulting in poor tree growth, poor timber quality, and in some cases, complete destruction and reduction of forest cover in Indian arid zone also. Thus, trees and forests need to be protected from these agents of destruction. With the ever increasing human and livestock population, the amount of forest per capita is declining particularly in the less industrialized or developing areas of the world. It is estimated that the land under forest in developing countries is about 2100 million hectares, or more than half of the forested land on earth.

Altogether, 8 species under 3 subfamilies are already reported from Sunderban Biosphere Reserve. Present communication reports Batocera rufomaculata (De Geer, 1775) for the first time from this Biosphere reserve. Keywords: Sunderban Biosphere Reserve, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Batocera Introduction Sunderban region in India is 9600 sq km (4200 sq km of Reserved Forest and 5400 sq km of non-forest, inhabited region) which constitutes the Sunderban Biosphere Reserve (SBR). Indian Sunderban is bound on the west by river Muriganga and on the east by rivers Harinbhahga and Raimangal. Administrative boundary of the Sunderban is spread over two districts i.e. North 24-Parganas (Hingalganj, Hasnabad, Haroa, Sandeskhali - I,II, and Minakhan blocks) and South 24-Parganas (Sagar, Namkhana, Kakdwip, Patharpratima, Kultali, Mathurapur-I,II, Jaynagar-I,II, Canning-I,II, Basanti and Gosaba blocks).The extent of mangrove Reserve Forests in Indian Sunderban is around 4260 sq km, out of which 55% is under land vegetation cover and balance 45% is under water body/ inter-tidal zone. Studies on beetles and weevils (Coleoptera) in Sunderban region is very poor.

  • Chapter 15. Central and Eastern Africa: Overview
    Chapter 15 Chapter 15 CENTRAL AND EASTERN AFRICA: OVERVIEW The region as treated here is comprised mainly of Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo (Brazzaville), Congo (Kinshasa) (formerly Zaire), Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. The wide variety of insects eaten includes at least 163 species, 121 genera, 34 families and 10 orders. Of this group the specific identity is known for 128 species, only the generic identity for another 21, only the family identity of another 12 and only the order identity of one. Gomez et al (1961) estimated that insects furnished 10% of the animal proteins produced annually in Congo (Kinshasa). Yet, in this region, as in others, insect use has been greatly under-reported and under-studied. Until recently, for example, the specific identity was known for fewer than twenty species of insects used in Congo (Kinshasa), but, in a careful study confined only to caterpillars and only to the southern part of the country, Malaisse and Parent (1980) distinguished 35 species of caterpillars used as food. The extent of insect use throughout the region is probably similar to that in Congo (Kinshasa) and Zambia, the best-studied countries. Research is needed. Caterpillars and termites are the most widely marketed insects in the region, but many others are also important from the food standpoint, nutritionally, economically or ecologically. As stated by this author (DeFoliart 1989): "One can't help but wonder what the ecological and nutritional maps of Africa might look like today if more effort had been directed toward developing some of these caterpillar, termite, and other food insect resources." The inclusion of food insects in the Africa-wide Exhibition on Indigenous Food Technologies held in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1995 is indicative of the resurgence of interest in this resource by the scientific community of the continent.

Red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier, is one of the most destructive pests harming palm trees. However, genomic resources for R. ferrugineus are still lacking, limiting the ability to discover molecular and genetic means of pest control. Methods. In this study, PacBio Iso-Seq and Illumina RNA-seq were used to generate transcriptome from three developmental stages of R. ferrugineus (pupa, 7th-instar larva, adult) to increase the understanding of the life cycle and molecular characteristics of the pest. Results. Sequencing generated 625,983,256 clean reads, from which 63,801 full-length transcripts were assembled with N50 of 3,547 bp. Expression analyses revealed 8,583 differentially expressed genes (DEGs).

  • The Tropical Fig Borer, Batocera Rufomaculata (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), New for Turkey
    The Tropical Fig Borer, Batocera rufomaculata (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), new for Turkey by Göksel Tozlu and Hikmet Özbek Abstract: The Tropical Fig Borer, Batocera rufomaculata (De Geer, 1775) is recorded from the eastern Mediterranean Region of Turkey as a genus, species and a fig pest new for Turkey. The material collected and the views of some growers suggest that B. rufomaculata was probably in- troduced to Turkey from Israel, Lebanon, Syria or Iraq in the 1970s. Kurzfassung: Der Tropische Feigenbohrer, Batocera rufomaculata (De Geer, 1775) wird erst- mals aus der Türkei gemeldet, und zwar aus der östlichen Mittelmeeregion. Nicht nur die Art, auch der Genus ist neu für die Türkei; auch als Feigenschädling wird die Art in der Türkei erst- mals registriert. Aufgrund des gesammelten Materials und aufgrund von Berichten von Feigenan- bauern wird geschlossen, daß B. rufomaculata in die Türkei wahrscheinlich aus Israel, dem Liba- non, Syrien oder dem Irak eingeschleppt wurde. Key words: Batocera rufomaculata, Cerambycidae, fig borer, new record, new pest, alien spe- cies, Turkey, Middle East. Introduction The Tropical Fig Borer, Batocera rufomaculata (De Geer, 1775), has a tropical distribution, extending from southern China through Malaya, India, Sri Lanka, Madagascar and Mauritius to eastern Africa (AVIDOV & HARPAZ 1969, KATBEH-BADER 1996). This pest species was introduced into Israel in 1949 (AVIDOV & HARPAZ 1969) and into Jordan in the 1940s (KAT- BEH-BADER 1996). Following this, HEYROVSKY (1963) recorded the presence of this species in Jordan in 1957. Although HALPERIN & HOLZSCHUH (1993) indicated that B. rufomaculata has been disappearing in Israel since the 1970s, more recently KATBEH-BADER (pers.

  • Folk Taxonomy, Nomenclature, Medicinal and Other Uses, Folklore, and Nature Conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3
    Ulicsni et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:47 DOI 10.1186/s13002-016-0118-7 RESEARCH Open Access Folk knowledge of invertebrates in Central Europe - folk taxonomy, nomenclature, medicinal and other uses, folklore, and nature conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3 Abstract Background: There is scarce information about European folk knowledge of wild invertebrate fauna. We have documented such folk knowledge in three regions, in Romania, Slovakia and Croatia. We provide a list of folk taxa, and discuss folk biological classification and nomenclature, salient features, uses, related proverbs and sayings, and conservation. Methods: We collected data among Hungarian-speaking people practising small-scale, traditional agriculture. We studied “all” invertebrate species (species groups) potentially occurring in the vicinity of the settlements. We used photos, held semi-structured interviews, and conducted picture sorting. Results: We documented 208 invertebrate folk taxa. Many species were known which have, to our knowledge, no economic significance. 36 % of the species were known to at least half of the informants. Knowledge reliability was high, although informants were sometimes prone to exaggeration. 93 % of folk taxa had their own individual names, and 90 % of the taxa were embedded in the folk taxonomy. Twenty four species were of direct use to humans (4 medicinal, 5 consumed, 11 as bait, 2 as playthings). Completely new was the discovery that the honey stomachs of black-coloured carpenter bees (Xylocopa violacea, X. valga)were consumed. 30 taxa were associated with a proverb or used for weather forecasting, or predicting harvests. Conscious ideas about conserving invertebrates only occurred with a few taxa, but informants would generally refrain from harming firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus), field crickets (Gryllus campestris) and most butterflies.

  • Catalogue of Afghanistan Longhorn Beetles (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) with Two Descriptions of New Phytoecia (Parobereina Danilevsky, 2018) from Central Asia
    Humanity space International almanac VOL. 8, No 2, 2019: 104-140 http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:30F6FA0A-2D7A-4ED2-9EAE-AB7707FFBE61 Catalogue of Afghanistan Longhorn beetles (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) with two descriptions of new Phytoecia (Parobereina Danilevsky, 2018) from Central Asia M.A. Lazarev State Budget Professional Educational Institution of the Moscow Region “Chekhov technical college” Novaya str., 4, Novyi Byt village, Chekhov District, Moscow Region 142322 Russia e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Key words: Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, taxonomy, distribution, new species, Afghanistan, Pakistan. Abstract: The Catalogue includes all 78 Cerambycidae species of Afghanistan fauna known up to 2019 with the references to the original descriptions; 22 species were not mentioned for Afghanistan in Palaearctic Cerambycidae Catalogue by Löbl & Smetana (2010). Bibliography of each species usually includes the geographical information from corresponding publications. Many new taxonomy positions published after 2010 are used here without special remarks. Agapanthia (Epoptes) dahli ustinovi Danilevsky, 2013 stat. nov. is downgraded from the species level. Two species are described as new Phytoecia (Parobereina) pashtunica sp. n. from Afghanistan and Phytoecia (Parobereina) heinzi sp.n. from Pakistan. The present work is an attempt to summarize all data published up to now on Cerambycidae of Afghanistan fauna.
