Buprestidae (Coleoptera: Buprestoidea) is one of the three wood-borer beetle groups of major phytosani-tary interest worldwide, together with Cerambycidae and Scolytinae (Curculionidae). As in other beetle families, some buprestid species have been unintentionally or intentionally introduced around the world, in some cases causing significant envir...

Two long-term trips to Mauritania made it possible to carry out an inventory of the local fauna of Buprestidae using several methods in particular the technique of collect and observations from woody materials. The results obtained lead to the presentation of a first inventory for this country of 80 species of Buprestidae represented by 16 genera,...

Red propolis is a substance produced by bees by mixing resins from plants with wax, oils, and other secretions to protect the hive against natural enemies. Dalbergia ecastaphyllum (L.) Taub. (Fabaceae) is the primary botanical source of the Brazilian red propolis, where bees Apis mellifera L. collect a reddish resin from the stems to produce propol...

Brief reflections on the Agrilus of the "hyperici-group" in Sicily (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Agrilini)] An excursus is drawn up on the taxonomy of the "hyperici-group" in Sicily.

Using an updated checklist of the Agrilus species of South America, it is analyzed the status of knowledge of the Agrilus fauna for each country on the continent. When the geographical extent of each country and the number of known species are considered, a great disparity of knowledge emerges, with some countries (e.g., French Guyana) being relati...

The subtribe Cylindromorphoidina Cobos, 1979, the only representative of tribe Aphanisticini in the Neotropical region, is currently composed of two genera, Eurynodes Théry, 1934 and Cylindromorphoides Kerremans, 1903. The genus Taphroceroides Hespenheide, 2007, originally proposed in Cylindromor-phoidina, is currently placed in Brachyina (tribe Tr...

Calodema antonkozlovi nov. sp., known only from the Arfak Mountains, West Papua Province, Indonesia, is described and illustrated. The new taxon can be distinguished from C. bifasciata Neef de Sainval and Lander, 1993 by its wider and more robust body; elytral color bluish black with two yellow fasciae, the anterior one broadest, reaching suture, a...

A large number of invertebrates use dead wood as shelter, food, and as a microclimate refuge. Ecological succession in this substrate depends on primary colonization, stimulating or inhibiting future successions. Twig girdler beetles girdle and lay eggs inside the bark of branches and trunks of different host plants. Branch girdling blocks the phlo...

Une nouvelle espèce du genre Agrilus Curtis, 1825 est décrite de Guyane. Mots-clefs. Agrilinae, taxinomie, région néotropicale, nouvelle espèce Abstract. A new species of Agrilus is described from French Guiana.

Aim The Rosalia longicorn ( Rosalia alpina ) is an internationally protected icon of biodiversity associated with old trees and dead wood. Although the beetle regularly exploits several marginal hosts, its preferred main host is European beech ( Fagus sylvatica s.l.). Moreover, the geographical ranges of R. alpina and beech closely overlap. To asse...

Se describen dos nuevas especies del género Agrilus Curtis: A. barrosi nov. sp. y A. adamanteus nov. sp.

Agrilus scottoi n. sp. from Cameroun is described. The presence of a long tip at the apex of the last visible tergite, places this species in the subgenus Nigritius Curletti, 1998, although the presence of elytral spots and the apical spines makes it very similar to species placed in the subgenus Pantherina Curletti, 1998.

The genus Agrilus (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) represents a taxonomic puzzle, since the boundaries between species, subspecies and morphotypes tied to different host plants are sometimes difficult to establish on morphological characteristics alone. Some Agrilus species can cause severe agricultural damage; this makes correct distinctions of the taxon...

The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, is threatening extirpation of susceptible native ash species in North America. EAB outbreaks in Eastern Europe and the pathogen causing ash dieback in Europe are creating global concerns. There is need for conservation measures of imperiled ash resources both in North America and globally. Green ash...

A brief trip to Caquetà and Putumayo prov., South Colombia, during the month of November 2016, allowed us to discover two species new to science. The research was undertaken under the auspices of a joint educational/scientific project with the Apostolic Vicariate of the Consolata Fathers in the department of Putumayo (South Colombia).

Quantifying the spatio-temporal distribution of arthropods in tropical rainforests represents a first step towards scrutinizing the global distribution of biodiversity on Earth. To date most studies have focused on narrow taxonomic groups or lack a design that allows partitioning of the components of diversity. Here, we consider an exceptionally la...

Agrilus delsinnei n. sp., Agrilus yanzatzanus n. sp., Agrilus touroultinus n. sp, Agrilus quito n. sp. from Ecuador are described.

Canopies of temperate forests are still largely unexplored and the biodiversity they harbor is still poorly known, even for Coleoptera, the most studied insect group. In a lowland forest in northern Italy, Malaise traps were set in the canopy (n = 7) and ground layer (n = 7) and eleven beetles families (Buprestidae, Eucnemidae, Throscidae, Elaterid...

Riassunto-Viene proposto un nome nuovo per un caso d'omonimia riguardante il genere Agrilus (Coleoptera, Buprestidae): Agrilus (Robertius) homonymus nom. nov. per Agrilus (Robertius) solitarius Curletti, 2012, omonimo primario più recente di Agrilus solitarius Harold, 1869. Abstract-Correction of an homonymy in the genus Agrilus Curtis, 1825 (Coleo...

Assessing Creepy Crawlies Arthropods are the most diverse group of terrestrial animal species, yet estimates of the total number of arthropod species have varied widely, especially for tropical forests. Basset et al. (p. 1481 , see the cover) now provide more reliable estimates of total arthropod species richness in a tropical rainforest in Panama....

The highly fragmented floodplain forest remnants of the river Po (Italy) are protected at the European level, but surprisingly little is known about their ecology and in particular their invertebrate fauna. The present work investigates 11 selected beetle families sampled in the reserve of Isola Boscone (Lombardy Region, Mantua Province), which is...

Methods the relative uniformity of the species occurring in the genus Agrilus curtis, 1825 and the exorbitant number of species represented (over 1,200 for the Neotropical fauna alone), puts in serious difficulty the specialist who wishes, with a simple literal description, to describe unknown taxa. a directory of almost equal characters, as seen i...
