Morphological anomalies of endangered Korean relict long-horned beetle Callipogon relictus (Cerambycidae, Coleoptera) during ontogenesis and possible causes of their occurrence
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes for the first time cases of exogenous morphological anomalies that occur during rearing of Callipogon relictus Semenov, 1899 in a laboratory setting. The highest frequency of the anomalies has been observed during pupation. It can be assumed that in beetles of this group, at final stages of ontogenesis, some abiotic factors such as humidity and temperature play an important role.

Report of fungal isolates and their efficacy against Rosaceous longhorn beetle, Osphranteria coerulescens (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
The Rosaceous longhorn beetle (RLHB), Osphranteria coerulescens Redtenbacher (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is a significant pests of fruit orchard in Iran and it is costly to control it. During an ongoing project on natural enemies of O. coerulescens in Mashhad region, North East of Iran, two isolates of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) were isolated as natural pathogens on the larvae. The fungal isol...

Cytogenetic studies may be helpful in classifying a taxon when external taxonomic traits are not adequate to do so unambiguously. Comparative karyology can have advantages in taxonomic studies of animals because chromosomal characters are essentially morphological characters (Gokhman & Kuznetsova 2006). Cytogenetic studies on the Cerambycidae, in particular, have been realized poorly worldwide ...

Three species of Doryctinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) parasitize larvae of oak longhorn beetle Massicus raddei Blessig (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), a serious wood borer pest in North China. Rhoptrocentrus quercusi sp. nov., is described as a new species and Doryctes petiolatus Shestakov, as well as Zombrus bicolor (Enderlein). The three species are idiobiont ectoparasitoids, and may have potenti...

The long-horned beetle, Dectes texanus LeConte (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), is a stem-boring pest of soybeans, Glycine max (L.) Merrill (Fabales: Fabaceae). Soybean stems and stubble were collected from 131 counties in Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee and dissected to determine D. texanus infestation rates. All states sampled had D. texanus present in soybeans. Data from Tennessee ...

The pattern of metabolic changes during tethered flight with lift-generation was investigated in two South African species of long-horned beetles (family: Cerambycidae), namely Phryneta spinator and Ceroplesis thunbergi. Energy substrates were measured in haemolymph and flight muscles at rest, after a flight period of 1 min at an ambient temperature of 25-29 degrees C, and 1 h thereafter. Fligh...
