Observations on the natural history of \u3ci\u3eRomulus globosus\u3c/i\u3e Knull (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

Host plants of Romulus globosus Knull (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) are described for the first time. Notes on its natural history are provided. The larvae of R. globosus feed in living roots of scrub oaks, including Quercus geminata Small, Quercus myrtifolia Willd., and Quercus laevis Walter. Field observations show that the beetle emerges below ground, and females may burrow to lay eggs on the roots

New larval host plants and ecological observations on North American Cerambycidae (Coleoptera)

New larval hosts are presented for 152 North American Cerambycidae (Coleoptera). Larval host plants of Aneflus calvatus Horn in Leng, Aneflomorpha arizonica Linsley, Aneflomorpha fisheri Linsley, Ane­flomorpha opacicornis Linsley, Anelaphus magnipunctatus (Knull), Atylostagma glabra Schaeffer, Cacophrissus pauper Bates, Elytroleptus limpianus Skiles and Chemsak, Obrium rubidum LeConte, and Stenelytrana splen­dens (Knull) are reported for the first time. The types of wood utilized by larvae of Leptorhabdium pictum (Haldeman), Sphenostethus taslei (Buquet), Typocerus lugubris (Say), and Xestoleptura octonotata (Say) are discussed. Notes on larval morphology and larval habits of Aneflus spp. and Stenaspis solitaria (Say), includ­ing a correction of a published host plant record for S. solitaria, are provided. Urgleptes sandersoni Gilmour is reported from the United States (Florida) for the first time. The family Cerambycidae is a diverse group of wood boring beetles with over 1000 species in North America alone and tens of thousands worldwide. Host plant associations for North American Cerambycidae have been summarized by Linsley and Chemsak (1997) and many subsequent papers have provided additional information (Swift 2008; Vlasak 2014; Heffern et al. 2018; Maier 2018; Maier 2020 and references therein). Several recent publications attempted to correct erroneous records in the literature and highlighted some questionable ones (Bousquet et al. 2018; Heffern et al. 2018; Maier 2018; Maier 2020). Nevertheless, the biology of about 180 North American species remains unknown and the understanding of host plant associations overall is incomplete. This work is a continuation of efforts to further the knowledge of the natural history of Cerambycidae. Only host plants not previously reported in the literature (summarized in Table 1) are presented unless stated otherwise. Plant taxonomy follows that of Kartesz (2015)

A new species of Ophtalmibidion Martins from French Guiana, and notes on O. luscum Martins (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Cerambycinae)

Ophtalmibidion gutta sp. nov. is described from French Guiana. The elytral color pattern of Ophtalmibidion luscum Martins, 1971 is commented on. A key to species of Ophtalmibidion is provided as well as photographs of all species

Description of a new species of Hippopsis Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville and comments on the identity of H. quadrivittata Breuning (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Agapanthiini)

Hippopsis sexlineata, a new species from Ecuador is described. The identity of Hippopsis quadrivittata Breuning, 1940 sensu auctorum is discussed and considered to be Hippopsis fractilinea Bates, 1866

Description of two new species of Xenocona Gilmour (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae) from Ecuador

Xenocona Gilmour, 1960 (Acanthocinini) includes seven species distributed through Central America and northern South America. Here we describe two new species from Ecuador: X. audureaui (differing from other species of the genus by the presence of large dark macula on dorsal surface of the basal ⅔ of the elytra combined with the absence of narrow white pubescent lines on other areas of the elytra) and X. uniformis (differing from the other species of the genus by the spiniform outer elytral angle)

Description of three new Acanthocinini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) species from Ecuador

Three new species of Acanthocinini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) are described from Napo province, Ecuador: Anisopodus micromaculatus new species; Parabaryssinus katerinae new species; and Paracleodoxus minutus new species. A key to species of Paracleodoxus Monné and Monné (2010) is provided. The study of specimens collected by the first author during his stay in Ecuador in 2022 allows us to describe three new species of Acanthocinini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). The biodiversity of this relatively small country has been surprising due to the large number of species that were still unknown. Napo province, where the specimens of the new species were collected, has an area of 13,300 km2 and is located in the transition zone between the eastern Andes and the plain of the upper Amazon basin of Ecuador (FAO 2020). Anisopodus White, 1855 includes 48 species distributed from Mexico to southern South America, including the Caribbean (Monné 2023; Tavakilian and Chevillotte 2022). Parabaryssinus Monné, 2009 includes a single spe­cies known from Colombia and Ecuador (Monné 2023; Tavakilian and Chevillotte 2022). Paracleodoxus Monné and Monné, 2010 has two species, one reported from Venezuela, the other from Venezuela and Colombia (Monné 2023; Tavakilian and Chevillotte 2022). Herein, we describe a new species in each of these genera
