Bothriospilini is a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, containing 11 genera which have a primarily neotropical distribution. [1] [2] The tribe was proposed in 1950 by Brazilian entomologist Frederico Lane as a member of the new subfamily Bothriospilinae, and with Bothriospila assigned as the type genus. The tribe is morphologically close to the tribe Torneutini, with which it has in common the same shape of the last abdominal segment, which is wide and largely braided in the female, as well as the anterior thigh cavities that are open from behind and the laterally open medial cavity. [3]

Contents

The compound (6E,8Z)-6,8-pentadecadienal, produced by adult males of Chlorida festiva and Chlorida costata , was the first pheromone identified from species in Bothriospilini. [4] The sex pheromone methionol (3-methylthiopropan-1-ol), as well as the corresponding sulfoxide, 3-methylsulfinylpropan-1-ol, produced by Knulliana cincta , was identified in 2022. [5] In 2005, Monné and Napp transferred the genera Ranqueles and Scapanopygus to the tribe based on cladistic analysis. [6]

Knulliana cincta(Drury, 1773)

The only species in the genus Knulliana is Knulliana cincta, commonly known as the banded hickory borer. It was described by Drury in 1773. [2] It is about 15–30 mm in length and occurs throughout the eastern half of North America, including Mexico and the Bahamas. If roughly handled it may start to squeak furiously. They are usually found on hickory trees and oak trees, where they lay their eggs; the larvae bore into the trees, sometimes doing significant damage. It has three described subspecies: [11]

Ranqueles

The genus Ranqueles was circumscribed by French entomologist Pierre-Émile Gounelle in 1906, with the South American R. mus assigned as the type, and at that time, only species. [12] It now contains the following species: [13]

Taygayba

The only species in the genus Taygayba is Taygayba venezuelensis. It was described by Martins and Galileo in 1998. [2] It is found in Venezuela. [15]

Timbaraba

The only species in the genus Timbaraba is Timbaraba dispar. It was described by Monne and Napp in 2004. [2] It occurs in Venezuela and has filiform (threadlike) antennae with 11 segments, and a trapezoidal mentum. [16]

The longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), also known as long-horned or longicorns, are a large family of beetles, with over 35,000 species described. Most species are characterized by extremely long antennae, which are often as long as or longer than the beetle's body. In various members of the family, however, the antennae are quite short and such species can be difficult to distinguish from related beetle families such as the Chrysomelidae. The scientific name of this beetle family goes back to a figure from Greek mythology: after an argument with nymphs, the shepherd Cerambus was transformed into a large beetle with horns.

Friedrich F. Tippmann was a Hungarian entomologist who specialised in Coleoptera, especially the Cerambycidae.
