“…Although fuscumol and fuscumol acetate serve as pheromone components or attractants for several species in the subfamilies Lamiinae and Spondylidinae of North America, South America, and Europe (Silk et al 2007, Fonseca et al 2010, Sweeney et al 2010, Mitchell et al 2011, Hughes et al 2013, neither compound attracted signiÞcant numbers of any species during the current study in southwest China. In contrast, traps baited with 2-(undecyloxy)ethanol, which to date had only been reported as a pheromone component for lamiine species in the genus Monochamus (Pajares et al 2010, Teale et al Table 1.…”

The attraction of cerambycid beetles to 10 known cerambycid pheromones was tested in a tropical montane rain forest in southern China. From 28 May to 25 June 2010, 1,526 cerambycids representing 71 species were captured in pheromone-baited traps, with 14 species accounting for 92% of the specimens. Test compounds with a 3-hydroxyalkan-2-one or 2,3-alkanediol motif attracted significant numbers of both sexes for eight species in the subfamily Cerambycinae, including species of Demonax, Rhaphuma, and Xylotrechus. Rhaphuma horsfieldi (White) was the only species that was strongly attracted to more than one test compound, with significant attraction to both (2R*,3R*)-2,3-hexanediol and (2R*,3R*)-2,3-octanediol. Within the Lamiinae, males and females of five species were significantly attracted to 2-(undecyloxy) ethanol, including Acalolepta formosana (Breuning), Monochamus bimaculatus Gahan, Pharsalia subgemmata (Thomson), Pseudomacrochenus antennatus (Gahan), and Xenohammus bimaculatus Schwarzer. Only male Megopis costipennis White (Prioninae) were significantly attracted to (2R*,3S*)-2,3-octanediol, suggesting that this compound may be a sex pheromone component for this species. To date, 2,3-octanediols have only been reported as aggregation pheromone components for cerambycids in the subfamily Cerambycinae. Our results support the hypothesis that both closely related (congeners) and more distantly related cerambycid species (different tribes and even subfamilies) may share pheromone components. Our results also demonstrate that traps baited with even a limited number of different classes of pheromones may be useful tools for surveying cerambycid diversity, as well as for detecting and monitoring particular species, especially those that have the potential to be invasive pests in other parts of the world.

“…data). The cerambycine M. caryae was strongly attracted to citral (Lacey et al 2008), and the most numerous lamiine species were those known to be attracted to fuscumol and/or fuscumol acetate (Mitchell et al 2011), including A. variegatus (males produce [ S ]-fuscumol and [ S ]-fuscumol acetate; Hughes et al 2013), A. parvus , G. fasciatus , L. angulatus , and S. alpha . The lamiine M. carolinensis was attracted to its recently identified pheromone, monochamol (Allison et al 2012).…”

“…To date, pheromones have been formally identified from only a few lamiine species, including A. variegatus (Hughes et al 2013), the South American species Hedypathes betulinus (Klug) (Fonseca et al 2010), and a number of Monochamus species (Pajares et al 2010, Teale et al 2011, Allison et al 2012, Fierke et al 2012). However, several other lamiines have been shown to be attracted to fuscumol and fuscumol acetate (Mitchell et al 2011, Hanks and Millar 2013), and many of these overlap in seasonal activity periods, with adults of most species being crepuscular or nocturnal (Linsley 1961).…”

“…Alternatively, differences between species in the chirality of fuscumol and/or fuscumol acetate may impart specificity. For example, male A. vareigatus produce both ( S )-fuscumol and ( S )-fuscumol acetate (Hughes et al 2013), whereas male H. betulinus produce ( R )-fuscumol acetate and an 82:18 mixture of the ( R )- and ( S )-enantiomers of fuscumol (Vidal et al 2010). These details will be elucidated as pheromone emissions are collected from the various species, and the components and ratios are fully identified and bioassayed in their naturally occurring ratios.…”

We summarize field data on the species composition and seasonal phenology of the community of cerambycid beetles of east-central Illinois. Data were drawn from field bioassays conducted during 2009 – 2012 that tested attraction of adult beetles of diverse species to a variety of synthetic pheromones and host plant volatiles. A total of 34,086 beetles of 114 species were captured, including 48 species in the subfamily Cerambycinae, 41 species in the Lamiinae, 19 species in the Lepturinae, two species in the Spondylidinae, and one species each in the Necydalinae, Parandrinae, Prioninae, and the Disteniidae. Most of the best-represented species were attracted to pheromones that were included in field experiments, particularly species that use (R)-3-hydroxyhexan-2-one as a pheromone component. The species captured, and their patterns of abundance and seasonal phenology were similar to those in an earlier study conducted in Pennsylvania. The most abundant species identified in both studies included the cerambycines Elaphidion mucronatum (Say), Neoclytus a. acuminatus (F.), Neoclytus m. mucronatus (F.), and Xylotrechus colonus (F.). Cerambycine species became active in an orderly progression from early spring through late fall, whereas most lamiine species were active in summer and fall, and lepturine species were limited to summer. Potential cross attraction between some cerambycine species that shared pheromone components may have been averted by differences in seasonal activity period, and by minor pheromone components that acted as synergists for conspecifics and/or antagonists for heterospecifics. These results provide quantitative data on the abundance and seasonal phenology of a large number of species.

“…Many species of longhorn beetles are attracted to host plant volatiles such as α‐pinene and ethanol (Chénier & Philogène, ; Allison et al., ; Miller, ), and traps baited with these attractants are commonly used in bark‐ and wood‐boring beetle surveys (Rabaglia et al., ). Sex and/or aggregation pheromones have been discovered in many species of longhorn beetles (Allison et al., ; Hanks & Millar, ), and certain pheromone motifs are commonly shared within subfamilies such that traps baited with 2,3‐hexanediols and hydroxyketones catch many species of Cerambycinae (Hanks & Millar, , ), and traps baited with fuscumol and fuscumol acetate catch several species of Lamiinae (Mitchell et al., ; Hughes et al., ) and Spondylidinae (Sweeney et al., ). Furthermore, combining pheromones and host plant volatiles on the same traps often enhances or synergizes catches of longhorn beetles (Sweeney et al., ; Allison et al., ; Hanks & Millar, ; Ryall et al., ; Collignon et al., ).…”

We conducted experiments in Jilin, China, in 2011 and 2014 in forest stands dominated by mature Quercus mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb. (Fagaceae) to test the effects of longhorn beetle pheromones, plant volatiles, and trap height on catch of Neocerambyx raddei (Blessig & Solsky) (formerly Massicus raddei) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in traps. Traps captured 276 specimens of N. raddei in 2011 and 379 specimens in 2014 (384 females, 271 males). Ethanol was attractive to female but not male N. raddei. However, N. raddei was not attracted to any of the longhorn beetle pheromones tested, which included racemic 3‐hydroxyhexan‐2‐one, racemic 3‐hydroxyoctan‐2‐one, syn‐2,3‐hexanediols, anti‐2,3‐hexanediols, racemic E,Z‐fuscumol, racemic E,Z‐fuscumol acetate, and monochamol, nor was it attracted to 2‐methyl‐3‐buten‐2‐ol. Traps placed in the tree canopy captured significantly more beetles than did traps in the understorey. Our results suggest that surveys for N. raddei should use ethanol‐baited traps placed in the tree canopy. If sex or aggregation pheromones are identified for N. raddei in the future, we predict that attraction to them will be enhanced by the presence of ethanol.
