Longhorn Beetle - Science topic
The longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae; also known as long-horned beetles or longicorns) are a cosmopolitan family of beetles, typically characterized by extremely long antennae, which are often as long as or longer than the beetle's body. In various members of the family, however, the antennae are quite short (e.g., Neandra brunnea, figured below) and such species can be difficult to distinguish from related beetle families such as Chrysomelidae.

In this work, we propose the following taxonomic acts: in Elaphidiini, Ambonus variatus (Newman, 1841) is transferred to Centrocerum Chevrolat, 1861 and has as new junior synonyms Elaphidion elegans Chevrolat, 1861 and E. elegans var. hirsutum, var. jocosum, and var. puberulum, all names proposed by Chevrolat in 1861 as varieties and deemed here as...
Over the past 175 years, 10 species of exotic longhorn beetles have become established
in New Zealand. Despite considerable increases in travel and transport of goods and
materials throughout this time, the rate of establishment of exotic longhorn beetles in
New Zealand shows no associated pattern. What is notable, although not surprising, is
the h...
Eryssamena was erected by Bates (1884) based on three species E. saperdina, E. acuta and E. spinidorsis, which Breuning (1977) recognised to be the same species: Eryssamena saperdina Bates, 1884. Although Eryssamena had been accepted as an independent genus for a long time, Kusama & Takakuwa (1984) and Hashimoto (2008) considered it as a subgenus o...
As both climate and food can affect insect development, in order to deep the knowledge on Psacothea hilaris hilaris (Pascoe) (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae) biology, four treatments were tested to evaluate the effects of diet composition and temperature on some biological traits of this longicorn beetle. P. h. hilaris survival, pre-imaginal de...
This work focuses on the systematic structure of the colony of the enemy insects of the cork
oak (essential in Mamora). The results showed the existence of 16 taxa. Among them,
(Lymantria dispar, Platypus cylindrus and Crematogaster scutellaris) are potentially dangerous
pests because they can cause serious damage both for the plants and to the qua...
The need to understand the mechanisms enhancing species coexistence and diversity is one of the central issues of community ecology. Theoretical work suggests that resource partitioning based on body size contributes to the coexistence of competing species, resulting in increased species diversity. Nevertheless, few empirical studies have investiga...

This study aims to assess the abundance and diversity of Cerambycid beetles (Coleoptera:
Cerambycidae) in different types of habitats (urbanized, natural oak forest, herbaceous and mixed forest) of
the Zselic region in Hungary. Beetles were collected by sweep netting and hand collecting. Species richness
and diversity were analyzed for the differen...
Species morphometric variability is the result of the combined effect of genes and environment. This is emphasized in insects, especially in ones that rely on discrete food resources, such as xylophagous insects. Psacothea hilaris hilaris (Pascoe) (Coleoptera Cerambycidae Lamiinae), an exotic beetle already established in Italy, is used as a model...
This manuscript is submitted to the journal. Abstract. Emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis, is a destructive invasive forest pest in America and European Russia.

Low dosage kinetic hydrate inhibitors are employed as alternatives to expensive thermodynamic inhibitors to manage the risk of hydrate formation inside oil and gas pipelines. These chemicals need to be tested at appropriate conditions in the laboratory before deployment in the field. A high pressure micro differential scanning calorimeter HP-μDSC V...
Recent research has shown that volatile sex and aggregation-sex pheromones of many species of cerambycid beetles are highly conserved, with sympatric and synchronic species that are closely related (i.e., congeners), and even more distantly related (different subfamilies), using the same or similar pheromones. Here, we investigated mechanisms by wh...

This note was prompted by failed attempts to identify a small species of Oncideres Serville using the key in Dillon and Dillon (1946). Only by abandoning the key and comparing the specimen with the illustrations and their associated descriptions was it possible to identify the beetle, Oncideres minuta Thomson, 1868. So, why did the key not work? To...
The Asian longhorned beetle (ALB), Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), is recognised as potentially one of the most damaging invasive insects in Europe and North America. International trade has increased the risk of accidental introduction of ALB. An eradication programme was initiated in Northeast Italy in June 2009...
Species of Oncideres Serville, often referred to as twig girdlers, girdle tree branches prior to oviposition to promote larval development. The behavior creates a unique niche that is utilized by other beetle species. The objective of this study was to compare emergence of insects from branches girdled by Oncideres saga Dalman in an intercropping s...
