A Review of Host Plants of Cerambycidae (Coleoptera: Chrysomeloidea) with new Host Records for Fourteen Cerambycids, Including the Asian Longhorn Beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis Motschulsky), in Korea

Abstract

A revised checklist of host plants for 181 species belonging to 103 genera in six subfamilies of Cerambycidae (Coleoptera: Chrysomeloidea) in Korea is provided on the basis of the results of field surveys and literature review. A total of 14 new cerambycid-host associations are confirmed and the Manchurian striped maple, Acer tegmentosum Maxim. (Aceraceae), is listed as a new host of the Asian longhorn beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky). The names of more than 170 host plants species belonging to 107 genera in 44 families are compiled. Among them, four families (Ulmaceae, Pinaceae, Fagaceae and Betulaceae) are confirmed as the main host families (more than 23%) of most of the cerambycid species. All invalid scientific names and Korean names of plants and cerambycids in the previous literature are corrected in the present paper.

Determining the geographical origin of Asian longhorn beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis) specimens using stable isotope and trace element analyses

“…This highlights the need to analyse material and their composites from infested trees and beetles (from these particular trees), for a better understanding of which parts of the feed gets laid down into the exoskeleton. The research group of Lim et al prepared a review of cerambycid species found on host trees in Korea, in particular on Ulmaceae, Pinaceae, Fagaceae and Betulaceae (more than 23%). Straw et al assessed the infested trees in Kent (UK) and noted sycamore, Acer pseudoplatanus L., as the most attacked species.…”

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Megopis sinica white (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Prioninae)

“…(Zhang et al 2017). The larvae eat food in the cortex and xylem of the branches and the tunnel is irregular and filled with dung debris, which weakens the trees (Lim et al 2014;Zhang et al 2017). Mitochondrial genome sequences are essential for a deeper understanding of the evolution of Cerambycidae and identification of larva species (Liu et al 2018;Wang and Tang 2018;Wang et al 2019).…”
