New host plant and distributional records for some Eburia Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville (Coleoptera : Cerambycidae) in North America including Mexico

摘要

Cerambycids of the genus Eburia Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville are most in evidence in the American tropics (Monne, M. A. 1993. Catalogue of the Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) of the Western Hemisphere, Part Ii. Soc. Brasil. Entomol., Sao Paulo, Brasil). Only 10 percent of nominal Eburia species occur in the Nearctic region, where they breed in trees belonging to several angiosperm families (Linsley, E. G. & J. A. Chemsak. 1997. The Cerambycidae of North America, Part VIII. Univ. Calif. Publ. Entomol., 117). This note provides unknown or unpublished larval hosts and distributional records for 4 species of Eburia from the southern United States and Mexico. Data come from field studies in southeastern Texas and specimens in the TAMU collection. Plant nomenclature follows S. D. Jones et al. (1997. Vascular plants of Texas. Univ. Texas Press, Austin, Texas); collection codens follow R. H. Arnett, Jr. et al. (1993. The insect and spider collections of the world (2nd ed.). Sandhill Crane Press, Gainesville, Florida).
