“…Studies conducted by Vladimir and Georgi [ 41 ] indicated that the Buprestidae fauna has over 429 species in Kenya. This additional information on Buprestidae adds to the recommendations of Sakalian and Georgi 2013 [ 42 ] who also suggested the need for further detailed studies in order to enrich the knowledge on numbers and distribution of the buprestid species in Kenya…”

Wood-boring beetles associated with Acacia xanthophloea in Nairobi and Machakos Counties, Kenya

Naivasha thorn tree, Acacia xanthophloea, is grown for foliage, timber, shade and rehabilitation of soils in areas with high water tables in Kenya. Its production is threatened by insect pests, which cause major losses. Very little is documented on wood-boring beetles which cause considerable economic damage to lumber used in a variety of applications, and little is known about their natural enemies in Kenya. We conducted the study to evaluate the occurrence of wood-boring beetles on A. xanthophloea in two different regions of Kenya. Infested wood samples of A. xanthophloea with fresh exit holes were collected from three sites in Kenyatta University (KU), Nairobi and Mitaboni in Machakos, Kenya. The samples were placed in clear plastic buckets and kept at ambient temperatures 23±2°C, 65±10% relative humidity and 12L: 12D in a laboratory where they were observed daily for adult emergence. Adult beetles were collected every three days for identification and data recording. The experiment was replicated four times and data collected twice a week for 6 months. Data on abundance was subjected to analysis of variance using SAS software. A total of 5,850 and 4,691 beetles were collected where 2,187 and 3,097 were Bostrichidae, accounting for 37% and 66% in KU and Mitaboni, respectively. A total of 12 bostrichid species was identified, including Sinoxylon ruficorne, S. doliolum, Xylion adustus, Xyloperthodes nitidipennis, Xyloperthella picea, Xylopsocus castanoptera, Lyctus brunneus, Heterbostrychus brunneus, Xylopsocus sp., and Dinoderus gabonicus. The most abundant species in KU was Xylion adustus with 1,915 beetles accounting for 88.4%, and Sinoxylon ruficorne in Mitaboni with 1,050 beetles accounting for 33.9% of the total. Sinoxylon ruficorne was only recorded in Mitaboni while only 2 specimens of D. gabonicus were found in KU. The mean number of exit holes on A. xanthophloea differed significantly between sites, which corresponded approximately to the amount of economic damage caused by the beetles to the structural integrity of the lumber. In addition, a number of predators in the family Cerambycidae, Cleridae, Histeridae and parasitoids from Braconidae, Ichneumonidae, and Chalcididae were recovered, suggesting a need to conduct further studies to document these species' diversity, parasitism rates and efficacy for possible biological control.

“…Larvae of P.undecimmaculata live inside wood of dead trees and living branches of different species of Prunus spp. for 2–3 years (Sakalian 2003). Moreover, with the exception of Dolichomitustuberculatus (Geoffroy, 1785) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), parasitoids of this species have not been previously recorded (Aliyev and Maharramova 2009).…”

We report 22 parasitoid species from Greece that have emerged from their hosts belonging to Blattodea, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera, including 12 Braconidae, one Eulophidae, one Evaniidae, seven Ichneumonidae, and one Tachinidae. Nine parasitoids are reported for the first time in Greece, i.e., three Ichneumonidae: Campoplexdifformis (Gmelin, 1790), Gelisalbipalpus (Thomson, 1884), and Lysibiatenax Townes, 1983; five Braconidae: Charmoncruentatus Haliday, 1833, Dendrosoterprotuberans (Nees, 1834), Dolichogenidealongipalpis (Reinhard, 1880), Ecphylussilesiacus (Ratzeburg, 1848), and Spathiuscurvicaudis Ratzeburg, 1844; and one Eulophidae: Melittobiaacasta (Walker, 1839). Nine of the 23 recorded parasitoid-host associations are new. These findings are discussed in relation to the overall related parasitoid-host associations in the target area, as well as the potential of parasitoid use in the biological control of pests.

“…The zoogeographical characterisation of longhorn beetles was made on the basis of recent taxa distribution ( Danilevsky 2021 ). According to Georgiev and Hubenov (2006) and Sakalian and Langourov (2007) conceptions, the established taxa are arranged in 18 chorotypes (areographic categories).…”

The complex of longhorn beetles in Rila Mt. in Bulgaria was studied by literature data and original biological materials. As a result, 126 taxa from six subfamilies were established, as follows: Prioninae (four taxa), Lepturinae (43 taxa), Necydalinae (two taxa), Spondylidinae (seven taxa), Cerambycinae (31 taxa) and Lamiinae (39 taxa). In this study, two new records for Rila Mt. (Stenurella nigra nigra and Xylosteus spinolae) and new localities or additional information for 24 cerambycid taxa were reported. The longhorn beetles belong to 18 zoogeographical categories and seven complexes. The European complex occupies a dominant position (37.3%), followed by the Palaearctic (23.8%), Eurosiberian (13.5%), Mediterranean (11.1%), European-Iranoturanian (7.1%), Balkan endemic (4.0%) and Holarctic (3.2%) complexes.
