Abstract

Here we report for the first time the occurrence of Hylettus seniculus Germar 1824 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) boring Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis Morelet (Pinaceae) trunks. Damage by this insect were evaluated from August to Dec 2008 and 2009 by cutting a tree per month from 5 groups of trap trees (5 plants per group) stressed with systemic herbicide. The damage by H. seniculus on trap trees P. caribaea var. hondurensis indicates that prolonged storage of pine logs in the field should be avoided. Este trabalho registra, pela primeira vez, a ocorrência de Hylettus seniculus Germar 1824 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) broqueando plantas de Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis Morelet (Pinaceae). As avaliações foram realizadas, de agosto a dezembro de 2008 e 2009, com corte de uma árvore por mês de cinco grupos de árvoresarmadilha (5 plantas/grupo) estressadas com herbicida sistêmico. Os danos por H. seniculus indicam que não se deve armazenar toras de pinus no campo. View this article in BioOne
