ESTRUTURA DA ASSEMBLEIA DE SCOLYTINAE (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE) EM AREAS FLORESTADAS COM<i> Eucalyptus </i>spp. NO SUL DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL

Abstract

RESUMOO objetivo deste trabalho foi contribuir para o conhecimento da assembleia de besouros Scolytinae associada a plantios de eucalipto no sul do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil e determinar espécies de importância à cultura. ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to contribute to the knowledge of the assembly of Scolytinae beetles associated with Eucalyptus plantations in southern Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, and determine species of importance to the culture. Biweekly samples were taken from five Fibria Celulose S/A farms forested with Eucalyptus spp., from February 2006 to December 2010, with flight intercept traps baited with 95% ethanol. We collected 7,365 specimens within 76 species, 18 genera, and seven tribes. Corthylini, represented by the

Scolytinae species damaging Carya illinoinensis trees in southern Brazil

“…The species X. ferrugineus along with X. affinis are considered the most destructive species in eucalyptus plantations in Brazil (Flechtmann, 2000). X. ferrugineus is considered as the primary vector of the pathogenic fungus Ceratocystis fimbriata (Ciesla, 2011;Wollmann et al, 2017) and may leave injuries in woody plants with more than 10 cm in diameter (Wood, 1982;Wollmann et al, 2017). In a survey of scolytidae in plantations of Eucalyptus spp.…”
