Monochamus is a genus of longhorn beetles found throughout the world. They are commonly known as sawyer beetles or sawyers, as their larvae bore into dead or dying trees, especially conifers such as pines. They are the type genus of the Monochamini, a tribe in the huge long-horned beetle subfamily Lamiinae, but typically included in the Lamiini today.
Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, commonly known as pine wood nematode or pine wilt nematode (PWN), is a species of nematode that infects trees in the Pinus genus of coniferous trees and causes the disease pine wilt. While native to North America, it spread in the early 20th century to Japan and in the latter half of the century to other areas of Asia, including China, Taiwan, and Korea, as well as to Europe, including Portugal and Spain.
Bursaphelenchus is a genus of nematodes (roundworms) in the order Aphelenchida. Most are obligate mycophages, but some feed on wood, with two species, the red ring nematode and the pine wood nematode, economically significant as pests of coconut palms and of pine trees, respectively. Given that Bursaphelenchus species are usually hard to distinguish from one another except by trained nematologists with access to microscopes or DNA sequence analysis, the entire genus is put under quarantine in some countries. Where this is not the case however, these nematodes are becoming established as model organisms for nematode developmental biology, ecology and genetics.
Anelaphus is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, first described by Earle Linsley in 1936.
Asaperda is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Sybra ordinata is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Henry Walter Bates in 1873.
Acalolepta sejuncta is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Henry Walter Bates in 1873. It is known from Japan.
Anhammus dalenii is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville in 1844 originally under the genus Monochamus. It is known from Malaysia, Java, and Sumatra.
Monochamus millegranus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Henry Walter Bates in 1891. It is known from China. It feeds on Castanea mollissima.
Monochamus nitens is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Henry Walter Bates in 1884.
Monochamus pictor is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Henry Walter Bates in 1884, originally under the genus Monohammus. It is known from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and Cameroon.
Monochamus alternatus, the Japanese pine sawyer, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Frederick William Hope in 1842. It is known from Hong Kong, Vietnam, Laos, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, China, and Taiwan. It feeds on Pinus banksiana, Abies firma, Pinus armandii, Pinus massoniana, and Pinus densiflora. It serves as a vector for the nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus.
Monochamus asiaticus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Masao Hayashi in 1962.
Monochamus clamator, the spotted pine sawyer, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1852.
Monochamus galloprovincialis, the pine sawyer beetle, also referred to as the black pine sawyer beetle, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Olivier in 1795, originally under the genus Cerambyx. It has a wide distribution, occurring naturally throughout Europe and the Caucasus. It has also been introduced into the Canary Islands. It serves as a vector for the parasitic nematode species Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, and also acts as a host to the parasitoid wasp species Dolichomitus tuberculatus.
Monochamus maruokai is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Masao Hayashi in 1962.
Monochamus sartor urussovii is a subspecies of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Fischer von Waldheim in 1806. It has been recorded in Eastern and Northern Europe and Northern Asia. It is a vector of the nematode Bursaphelenchus mucronatus. Larvae burrow into the wood of various conifer species and can be a tree pest, as feeding damage reduces the value of the timber.
Parechthistatus gibber is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Henry Walter Bates in 1873, originally under the genus Echthistatus.
Lepturini is a tribe of flower longhorns in the family Cerambycidae.
Anaglyptus is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae. The scientific name of the genus was first validly published in 1839 by Mulsant.
