Source publication
Coleoptera research was conducted in the Mlyňany Arboretum of SAS (48°19'12''N, 18°22'09''E) in 2013. Once per week monitoring was carried out from late April to early October. During the sample collection process, an occurrence of Scobicia chevrieri (Villa & Villa 1835) from the Bostrichidae family has been recorded. It is considered to be the fir...

... The relationship between ethanol release rate and attraction of a bostrichid beetle Scobicia chevrieri (Villa and Villa) (Buchelos 1991, Kollár 2014, Liu and Beaver 2017 shows a strong increase in attraction as the release rate of ethanol is increased (Fig. 6). For comparison, PSHB mean catch remains nearly constant regardless of release rate of ethanol (the R 2 -value of 0.22 means that only 22% of the variation of catch is explained by the ethanol release rate). ...
Euwallacea fornicatus (Eichhoff), the polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB), is an ambrosia beetle infesting avocado Persea americana Mill. limbs in North America and Israel. We conducted field experiments with sticky traps in avocado orchards to develop push-pull semiochemical methods of managing PSHB. Traps baited with 10-fold increasing doses (0.01 to 100× or 1.26 µg to 12.6 mg/d) of attractant quercivorol were previously shown to increasingly capture female PSHB (males flightless). We converted trap catch of this relationship to a standardized effective attraction radius (EAR) that predicts capture power of baited-traps regardless of insect flight density. Earlier, piperitone and verbenone were shown to strongly inhibit attraction of PSHB to quercivorol-traps. We tested increasing numbers of 1× piperitone dispensers at 0.75-m distance surrounding a quercivorol-trap and found PSHB catch to decline exponentially. Increasing decadic doses (0.01 to 10×) of either verbenone or piperitone released at 1× quercivorol-traps caused a sigmoidal first-order kinetic-decay in catch. Verbenone (1×) placed at increasing distances (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2 m) from a 1× quercivorol-trap became increasingly ineffective in reducing catch of PSHB. We found no evidence that ethanol released from 7.5 to 480 mg/d affected attraction of PSHB, but Scobicia chevrieri (Villa and Villa) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) was increasingly attracted. Due to their relatively short-range (<0.5 m) inhibition of attractive sources, piperitone, and verbenone dispensers should be placed on avocado trunks where PSHB aggregations occur before the flight season.

Several authors allover the world gave description, taxonomical keys of subfamilies, genera and species of family Bostrichidae (e.g. Chujo, 1936Chujo, -1940Fisher, 1950;Badawy and Naguib, 1961;Moussa, 1977;Carrillo et al., 2001;Ivie, 2002;Filho et al., 2006;Liu et al., 2006;Woodruff and Thomas 2006;De La Puebla et al. 2007;Beiriger 2010;Liu 2010;Azmi et al. 2011;Liu and Schnitzer, 2011;Bonsignore, 2012;Lopez-Perez, 2012;Luna Murillo and Obregon, (2013;Kollar, 2014;Hava and Chaboo, 2015;Nardi and Mifsud, 2015;Park et al., 2015;Liu et al., 2016 andWylie andBrenton, 2016). ...
During a taxonomic study on tree borers in Egypt, three beetles of them were recorded for the first time in Egypt. They were Bostrychoplites sp. and Heterobostrychus equalis (Waterhouse, 1884) belonging to family Bostrichidae and Acanthoscelides macrophthalmus (Schaeffer, 1907) belonging to family Bruchidae. In this study illustrated description of these species were given with the collecting date, location and host plant. Key words: Coleoptera, Tree borers, New in Egypt
... These coefficients ignore the different areas and climates of the countries and should be treated only as an indication of affinity. In recent years, more instances of bostrichids as pests have been reported from the Mediterranean area (Kinawy et al. 1991;Helal & El-sebay 1994;Bonsignore 2012;Bento 2015;Andreadis et al. 2016), and more species of forest trees are being attacked (Akşit et al. 2005;Mifsud et al. 2012;Buse et al. 2013;Luna Murillo & Obregón 2013;Sarikaya 2013;Kollár 2014). The similarity of the Iranian fauna to that of the Mediterranean area suggests that more pest problems due to bostrichids can be expected in Iran in the future. ...
An annotated synopsis of Iranian Bostrichidae (Coleoptera: Bostrichoidea) is
provided as a basis for future studies, with notes on distribution, host plants, biology and
economic importance. In total, 31 species from 18 genera and 4 subfamilies (Bostrichinae,
Dinoderinae, Lyctinae and Psoinae) are listed from Iran. Sinoxylon anale Lesne, 1897,
Sinoxylon perforans (Schrank, 1789), Stephanopachys linearis (Kugelann, 1792) and
Xylopertha retusa (Olivier, 1790) are new records for Iran.
Invasive alien species (IAS) is a scourge that gnaws away at biodiversity, the environment as a whole, and the socioeconomic fabric of countries. In Morocco, nearly 150 IAS have been inventoried and argued, and it is sincerely believed that this number is well below the actual total number of IAS introduced into the country, which suggests other scientific investigations, both on the ground and in the laboratory, to be able to identify them. These IAS cause damage, sometimes catastrophic. Virtually all environments suffer: ecosystems, landscapes, the agro‐ecosystem, the forest ecosystem, wetlands, and the marine and coastal environment. The country's economy, its social stability, as well as human and animal health are also concerned. In agriculture and aquaculture, vital and strategic (food security, jobs, rural economy), IAS pose a real threat to grain farming, arboriculture, seaweed farming, and so on, and almost all species of food interest are threatened by IAS, accidentally or deliberately introduced to the point where yield, of cereal for example, has dropped by 98% in some areas of the country. The reduction in yield concerns not only cultivated plants but also farmed animals (sheep flocks, goats, birds, bees, etc.) because of their toxicity, their aggressiveness, or their competitiveness. The Moroccan forest, which is strategic for the country's overall ecological balance and for its rural economy, also suffers from IAS, in particular its heritage species such as the Atlas cedar. Wetlands that have experienced fish introductions since the beginning of the last century have been greatly affected by these exotic species to the point that, in the early years of introduction, native forms such as pallary trout have been exterminated. The marine and coastal environment, despite its buffering capacity, is beginning to feel the weight of the threat of IAS introduced mainly for aquaculture reasons. The information concerning this environment remains very fragmentary given the insufficient human and material resources available for exploration of this area, particularly for ballast water and bio‐soiling. The little information that exists, however, shows a negative effect of introduced species on native ones. Silverleaf nightshade (in Morocco, morelle jaune) and the pine processionary are also the origin of respiratory or allergic diseases, and the tiger mosquito could be the origin of many more serious diseases. The fight against IAS remains punctual, often mechanical, without a targeted strategy; and the main monitoring instrument remains the establishment of the National Office for the Health Security of Food Products (ONSSA), whose main task is the control of transit, at each point of entry into the national territory, of plants, seeds, animals, and biological material potentially harmful to the environment or health in the country.
Faunistic research on beetles (Coleoptera) was carried out between 2013 and 2015 at the Mlyňany Arboretum in Nitriansky kraj region in Slovakia. Specimens were collected weekly, by individual sampling (hand collecting), pitfall and hanging intercept traps, sweeping, beating and blacklighting on canvas. The survey focu-sed only on producing a faunistic inventory of the species of beetles (Coleoptera); other insect groups were not evaluated. The material collected was evaluated ecosozologically according to the red list of beetles (Coleoptera) of Slovakia. During the faunistic research, 604 species of beetles were found belonging to 58 families. The most numerous families were Curculionidae (108 species) and Staphylinidae (64 species). Faunistically interesting species include Opanthribus tessellatus (Boheman, 1829) (Anthribidae), Scobicia chevrieri (A. Villa et J. B.
