“…Still, C. fumipennis has been successful in detecting Agrilus anxius Gory, which had not previously been reported in North Carolina (Swink et al 2013). We anticipate that C. fumipennis will play a future role in surveys of eastern US forests and landscapes for non-native pests of potential concern, such as the goldspotted oak borer, Agrilus auroguttatus Schaeffer (Coleman & Seybold 2009;Hespenheide et al 2011), which is currently distributed only in Arizona, California, and Mexico.…”

“…The Otis L. Floyd Nursery Crops Research Center currently maintains the largest single collection of buprestids in Tennessee (Hansen et al 2010). Most specimens collected in North Carolina were from counties adjacent to North Carolina State University and counties that were surveyed annually as part of the C. fumipennis biosurveillance program (Swink et al 2013). Species tallies reported within individual counties ( Fig.…”

Distribution records and seasonal flight activity information for metallic woodboring beetle (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) species have not been compiled for North Carolina and Tennessee. Institutional, research, and private collections in North Carolina and Tennessee were reviewed to provide seasonal activity data of 5 subfamilies of buprestid beetle species. Label information was checked for 15,217 specimens of 135 species collected between 1901 and 2013 (North Carolina) and between 1934 and 2013 (Tennessee). These collections provided data on adult seasonal activity and county records for 121 species (4,467 specimens) and 105 species (10,750 specimens) from North Carolina and Tennessee, respectively. Two species, Agrilus carpini Knull and A. pensus Horn, are reported as New State Records for North Carolina. The data reveal key geographic areas in both states where few to no collections have been made, highlighting opportunities to validate species distributions and locations where future collecting efforts can be matched with the occurrence of larval and adult host plant resources. Seasonal activity records will inform future biosurveillance efforts for invasive and endemic pests and facilitate predictions of buprestid species that are likely to be active within the hunting flight season of Cerceris fumipennis (Say) (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) wasps. Activity periods of the buprestids also can focus the management of selected economic pest species to times of the year when treatment efforts, particularly through use of contact insecticides, are likely to be most effective.

“…The large number of C. fumipennis nests present at this site is evidence suggesting that numerous buprestids were locally available to sustain such a large wasp population, but the PPTs were unsuccessful in capturing them. Cerceris fumipennis is suggested to hunt primarily within a 200‐m radius of their nest site (Nalepa et al ., ), but the sphere of attraction by PPTs is unknown. Given that a sizable, active aggregation of C. fumipennis is available, the wasps can supply a more complete snapshot of buprestid diversity in any given area.…”

1 Detection of low-level infestations of pest Buprestidae such as emerald ash borer is crucial for their effective management, but the efficiency of trapping techniques varies. In the present study, we compare two nondestructive methods for monitoring metallic wood-boring beetles. 2 Buprestidae captured by the wasp Cerceris fumipennis Say (Hymenoptera:Crabronidae) were compared with those captured by USDA-APHIS-PPQ standard issue purple prism traps (PPTs) at three sites in North Carolina, U.S.A. At each site, four PPTs were hung on trees at the edge of a known C. fumipennis nest aggregation, and changed at 5.5-7.0-week intervals. Buprestids were collected from hunting wasps once a week during their 5-6-week activity period. 3 A total of 28 buprestids (seven species) were caught by traps, whereas 267 buprestids (35 species) were collected from C. fumipennis. Of buprestids captured by PPTs, 22 were caught during the pre-flight period of C. fumipennis, six during their flight period and none during the post-flight period. One species of Agrilus Curtis was captured by PPTs, while six Agrilus species were captured by wasps. Of the 38 identified buprestid species taken at these sites, only four were recovered at a given location by both methods. 4 Although a standardized comparison of the two techniques is not feasible, C.fumipennis captured a greater number and diversity of Buprestidae than did PPTs. A combination of both techniques may provide the most complete temporal coverage of buprestid activity in a given area, provided that a nesting aggregation of C. fumipennis is available.
