“…Many studies on mating behavior of longhorned beetle have reported that the male responded to a female only after contacting her, including Sacothea hilari (Pascoe) (Fukaya & Honda 1992), Monochamus saltuarius Gebler. (Kobayashi et al 2003), Xylotrechus colonus F. (Ginzel et al 2003a), Phoracantha semipunctata (Fabricius) (Lopes et al 2005), Prionus californicus Motschulsky (Barbour et al 2007) and M. galloprovincialis Olivier (Ibeas et al 2008). However, in our observations, 80% of males dashed to approach the female and mounted her without antennal contact.…”

The mating behavior of Batocera horsfieldi (Hope) was observed in the laboratory. The results showed that copulation of this longhorned beetle consisted of three phases: (i) encountering and pair-bonding; (ii) mating attempt and ejaculation; and (iii) post-copulatory guarding. Frozen females, with cuticular hydrocarbons stripped by hexane extraction, showed no attraction for males. Reapplying the solvent extract of frozen females to both washed dead males and females caused mating attempts by males, confirming that cuticular hydrocarbons (contact sex pheromones) played an important role in recognition of females by male B. horsfieldi.

“…The mate searching behavior of male C. rufipenne and the role of contact pheromones are consistent with many other species of the Cerambycidae (Akustu and Kuboki 1983, Hanks et al 1996, Zhang et al 2003, Crook et al 2004, Lopes et al 2005, Wang and Chen 2005, Wang and Davis 2005, Ginzel et al 2006, Ibeas et al 2008. Antennal contact with females treated with 5,17-dimethylnonacosane usually was sufÞcient to elicit the full repertoire of mating behavior from males.…”

Identification of an Important Component of the Contact Sex Pheromone ofCallidiellum rufipenne(Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

Adult male and female Callidiellum rufipenne (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) aggregate on severely stressed or fallen trees and cut logs of cypress species (Cupressaceae) that are the hosts of their larvae. Our studies showed that male C. rufipenne actively search for females on these trees and only respond to females after contacting them with their antennae. Removing cuticular hydrocarbons from fresh carcasses of females with solvent rendered the carcasses unattractive to males, but activity was restored when the solvent extract was reapplied. These findings suggest that contact pheromones mediate mate recognition in this species. Bioassays of fractions of the extracts determined that the branched chain hydrocarbon fraction was primarily responsible for activity. 5,17-Dimethylnonacosane was a key sex-specific component in extracts of females, and synthetic 5,17-dimethylnonacosane elicited a strong mating response from males. We conclude that this compound is an important component of the contact sex pheromone of C. rufipenne if not the sole component. Solvent extracts of both sexes also contained 9-pentacosyne and 9-heptacosyne. To our knowledge, this is only the second report of alkynes in the cuticular lipids of insects.

“…The prevention and control technology of pests based on behavioral and chemical ecology studies therefore have been considered as a new means of control (Allison et al, 2004;Zhuge et al, 2009). Previous studies have shown that the sensilla of longicorn beetles are distributed mainly on the antenna, maxillary palpus and labipalp, playing an important role in activities such as feeding, mating, and egg laying (Cheng, 2006;Cheng et al, 2008;Guo, 2006;Jiang et al, 2005;Lopes et al, 2005;Lu et al, 2007;Wang et al, 2000;White et al, 1974). The sensilla on the antennae, in particular, play a significant role on the detection of semiochemicals (Ma and Du, 2000).…”

Anoplistes halodendri halodendri (Pallas, 1776) and Anoplistes halodendri ephippium (Stevens and Dalman, 1817) are two subspecies of the longicorn beetle A. halodendri (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae). In the recent years, these subspecies have been spreading rapidly in Hippophae rhamnoides and Hedysarum scoparium shrubberies in the Chinese provinces of Shanxi and Kingie, causing mass mortality of these shrubberies species and consequently leading to great damage to local ecological environment construction as well as high economic, ecological, and societal losses. To control their hazards effectively, here, we study and compare the types, densities, and distribution of antennal sensilla of A. h. halodendri and A. h. ephippium using scanning electron microscopy. Eight sensilla types were observed on the antennae of these two subspecies, including placoid sensilla (Ps), chaetica sensilla (ch) (types I-III), sensilla basiconica (b) (types I and II), sensilla gemmiformium (G), and auricillica sensilla (au). Ps predominated on the antennae of both A. h. halodendri and A. h. ephippium, followed by b and ch, and G and au. There were differences between the subspecies in the distribution and density of the different sensilla types, with ch I being found exclusively on the antennae of A. h. ephippium and b I and au on the antennae of A. h. halodendri only. With the exception of Ps, the densities of ch II, ch III, b II, and G on the antennae of A. h. halodendri were much higher than on the antennae of A. h. ephippium. These results provide sufficient evidence to clarify the receptive mechanisms used by these two subspecies of longicorn beetles and their responses to volatile semiochemicals released by their host plants as well as discuss their differences with respect to host and habitat selection.
