“…However, they were different in some features. For example, C. rubripes had two spines on apical elytra; the elytron was characterized with yellow brownish lengthening stripe on the central prior to basal; the lateral pronotum possessed spherical tubercle; spine was also appeared on lateral pronotum; and the body was red blackish so that it was darker than C. biguttatus (Sopow et al, 2015). Meanwhile, it was closely related to P. semipunctata since these insects were categorized into the same of Tribe of Phoracanthini.…”

“…Some differences among them were characterized by the elytra of P. semipunctata which was dominated by brown with white yellowish stripe on central region to suture. The stripe and a pair of spines were found on apical elytra, and spine was also generated on lateral pronotum (Wang, 1998;Sopow et al, 2015). C. biguttatus, C. rubripes, and P. semipunctata were classified into same Subfamily of Cerambycinae, the larger Subfamily in Family of Cerambycidae.…”

This research was conducted to confirm the species of longhorn beetle (Coptocercus biguttatus) drilling clove stems in Ambon and part of Ceram Island, Moluccas, which has been noted as an important pest. Aim of this investigation was to characterize the species morphologically, and more detailed with molecular technique via mtCO1 gene analysis. The longhorn beetle was taken in Ambon and part of Ceram Island, Moluccas and then was etablished in laboratory with host rearing method on pieces of clove stem. The results showed that C. biguttatus attacking clove stems in Ambon and part of Ceram Island, Maluku was closely related and grouped into same cluster with C. rubripes and P. semipunctata in of New Zealand with 85% homology value. C. biguttatus distributed evenly in all clove planting areas in Ambon and part of Ceram Island.

“…For example, two congeneric wood borers, the cerambycids P. semipunctata and P. recurva , have spread widely outside Australia (Paine and Millar, 2002) whereas the total number of invasive eucalypt wood borer species is low compared with other guilds ( Figure 1 ). The implementation of biosecurity regulations has presumably restricted movement of wood borers, including termites, out of Australia (Commonwealth of Australia, 2015; Sopow et al, 2015) despite continued use of wooden packaging materials for shipping in many parts of the world (Rassati et al, 2015). The Australian termite, Porotermes adamsoni , attacks live eucalypts but is subject to eradication where it has established colonies in New Zealand (Pearson et al, 2010).…”

New Communities on Eucalypts Grown Outside Australia

The expansion of eucalypt forestry worldwide has been accompanied by accidental and deliberate introductions of Australian insects associated with eucalypts. Local insect species have also colonized introduced eucalypts in many regions. This situation provides a unique opportunity to observe the development of new insect communities across trophic levels. Here the history of Australian invaders and native colonizers on eucalypts outside Australia is reviewed from the perspective of herbivore guilds: leaf chewers, sap suckers, wood borers, gall formers, termites. Historical patterns of invasion are identified across these guilds. Very few species of Australian leaf chewers, wood borers or termites have become widespread but these guilds are proportionately high in native colonizers. In contrast, sap suckers have multiple invasive species globally with relatively fewer native colonizers. The gall former guild also has several invasive species but so far includes no native colonizers, perhaps due to their tendency to have highly specific host plant associations. Natural enemies of Australian invaders are also members of new eucalypt insect communities, partly through planned biological control programs, but the rate of accidental introductions at higher trophic levels is increasing steadily. At the same time, local natural enemies enter eucalypt communities either to form new associations with Australian invaders or to follow native colonizers into this new habitat. Australian sap suckers have attracted far more new associations than other guilds so far. Native leaf chewers have often been followed by their local natural enemies into eucalypt communities, particularly in Brazil. Generally there are fewer records relating to local natural enemies and their role in new eucalypt communities. The complexity of new eucalypt communities outside Australia is expected to increase in future.

“…It was also collected from Glenn Forest in the Darling Range near Perth, Western Australia, and its morphology and distribution within Australia, along with other members of the genus Coptocercus, have been fully described (Wang 1995a). Although it caused damage to plantations in New Zealand as an exotic species (Sopow et al 2015), little is known of its behaviour and ecology in stressed, weakened or felled Eucalyptus trees.…”

Impact of braconid wasps on larval performance of longhorned borer Coptocercus rubripes Boisduval (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Eucalyptus forest of southwestern Australia

In southwestern Australia, outbreaks of cerambycids have been associated with infestation of drying and stressed trees. Felled timber provides an abundant habitat for a variety of subcortical beetles where their development can be modified by attack from natural enemies, including parasitoids. There are a variety of parasitoid wasps of cerambycids native to Australia, yet their effectiveness in controlling the larval performance of borers has been little studied. Approximately 700 Eucalyptus trees felled to realign a forest road provided an opportunity to determine how a mass of drying logs influences borer infestation rates and whether parasitoid wasps were effective in controlling borer survival. The native borer Coptocercus rubripes (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) caused an extensive infestation of fallen trees at the clearfell site. These infestations were subsequently limited by the direct effect of parasitism from the native braconid wasps Callibracon limbatus and Syngaster lepidus emerging from a single hole in a white cocoon. The effects of parasitism showed inverse density dependency where high borer larval densities increased the chances of borer larval survival. The absence of parasitism in caged logs promoted high borer larval densities and greatly improved adult borer survival, and while this increased the demand for sapwood resources, it promoted early adult borer emergence. Control by native braconid wasps of high infestations of Co. rubripes borers attacking drying and stressed trees limits adult borer emergence and has the potential to partially regulate borer populations.
