“…Besides attacking cashew trees, A. terebrans was recorded, during our study, on several other host trees. This result confirms the polyphagous status of A. terebrans and is in agreement with previous studies reporting this wood borer on coffee, citrus, cocoa, guava, cotton, and other host plants ( Hill and Waller 1988 , Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) 2007 , de Souza et al. 2009 ).…”

Cashew, Anacardium occidentale L. (Sapindales: Anacardiaceae), is an important cash crop in Benin. However, its production is threatened by several biotic factors, especially insects. In Benin, very few studies have focused on insects and just listed species commonly found on cashew worldwide. The present investigation fills this gap by presenting an exhaustive inventory of insect species associated with this crop in the country. The survey was carried out from September 2009 to August 2010 in 22 cashew orchards (5 young and 17 mature) distributed over three major agroecological zones where cashew is most produced in the country. Insects were collected using chemical knock-down technique and visual observation followed by capture with sweep net. In addition, infested plant organs were sampled and incubated to collect emerging insects. In total, 262 insect species were recorded and identified. Among them, the wood borer Apate terebrans Pallas, the leafminer Eteoryctis gemoniella Stainton, and the mirid bugs Helopeltis schoutedeni Reuter., and Helopeltis anacardii Miller., appeared as the most important insect species attacking cashew in Benin. Beneficial insects encountered included some predators, parasitoids, and pollinators. Few vertebrate predators were also recorded on the trees. Differences in agroecological conditions or in field cleanliness did not affect the number of insect species encountered in the cashew orchards. The results of this study represent an important baseline data for the design and implementation of strategies for cashew protection in Benin.

“…Os coleópteros da subfamília Scolytinae, além de perfurarem a madeira, atuam como vetores de fungos que causam coloração escura, depreciando as madeiras claras (Trevisan et al, 2008), como o alburno de teca, inviabilizando sua utilização para finalidades nobres, como móveis, pisos e lambris.…”

“…Among these, wood-boring beetles are the most common disturbance of trees worldwide [5,6] with a high prevalence from Bostrichidae [7, 8] and higher incidence in introduced species than native ones [9]. The black beetle, Apate terebrans (Pallas, 1772) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), is a widely distributed pest in Africa and Neotropical climes [10,11]. Also, the occurrence of this beetle in Austria, and Europe has been reported [1].…”

This study was conducted to count Apate terebrans opened tunnels in Terminalia mantaly at the 3 Parks of the University of Port Harcourt. All trees were assessed visually for the presence and absence of tunnels, frass, and exudates during the 6-months (January-July) field survey in 2018. The mean numbers of tunnels/tree were 16.12±2.13 from 58 trees representing 19.9% of 291 total trees. The spread of attack was fairly scattered and more closely associated with diameter at breast height (DBH) of tree (χ2= 12.763, df = 4, α0.012*). While a majority (67.0%) of the trees experienced breaking reflecting both the immediate and residual impact of opened and closed tunnels, respectively, 10.7% experienced tearing of branches, and 5.5% experienced both breaking and tearing. Strong wind was found as a contributory factor to breaking and tearing. The findings suggest T. mantaly as a poor adaptable environmental species in Nigeria ecosystems and its current utilisation as ornamental tree may be revisited. Contribution/Originality:This study documents the resurgence of wood borer, Apate terebrans and its impacts on the Terminalia mantaly used as one of the current popular urban trees in Nigeria. INTRODUCTIONA world-wide-spread problem in wood utilisation is related to the protection of wood products that are often attacked by insects. The same problem is encountered in the environmental utilisation of trees (living woods). Until now a satisfactory solution to control the trees' degradation by wood-boring beetles had not been found, and the applied conservation methods offered only temporary reduced controls [1, 2] without guaranteeing a real and durable effectiveness. Beetles are one of the major devastating pests of plants worldwide with many types economically, environmentally and socially attacking healthy trees [3,4]. Among these, wood-boring beetles are the most common disturbance of trees worldwide [5,6] with a high prevalence from Bostrichidae [7, 8] and higher incidence in introduced species than native ones [9]. The black beetle, Apate terebrans (Pallas, 1772) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), is a widely distributed pest in Africa and Neotropical climes [10,11]. Also, the occurrence of this beetle in Austria, and Europe has been reported [1]. Its primary hosts include many agricultural and forest trees [12]. In Nigeria, Murray [13] in 1867 listed A.
