First record of the wood-borer Hylettus seniculus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Pinus caribaea var. hondrurensis plantations in Brazil
Florida Entomologist 97 (4), 1838-1841
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.
