Xylotrechus insignis LeConte, 1873 | |
Xylotrechus insignis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1873. Xylotrechus insignis is commonly referred to as a willow borer which means that it drills into trees usually killing or harming the tree. Xylotrechus insignis lives mainly in trees and especially willows; mainly in North America. They get to be about 12 to 16 mm long [1]
Xylotrechus a genus of longhorned beetles of the family Cerambycidae, containing some 200 described species.
Clytini is a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, containing the following genera:
Xylotrechus aceris is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Fisher in 1917.
Xylotrechus albonotatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Casey in 1912.
Xylotrechus annosus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Say in 1826.
Xylotrechus bowditchi is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Hopping in 1928.
Xylotrechus colonus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Cerambycinae, and tribe Clytini. Its common name is rustic borer or rustic borer beetle. It was described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775. The larvae of this beetle feed on the sapwood of oaks (Quercus), whereas adults feed on the nectar of goldenrod (Solidago) and other composite flowers. The wing covers are black, with variable bands of grey, and a sinuous yellow mark near the base. The underside of the beetle is black, with faint yellow banding.
Xylotrechus gemellus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Casey in 1893 from a single specimen from Indiana, which remains the only specimen in existence, and the species is presumed to be extinct.
Xylotrechus hovorei is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Swift in 2007.
Xylotrechus obliteratus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1873.
Xylotrechus quadrimaculatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Haldeman in 1847.
Xylotrechus quadripes is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by the French entomologist Auguste Chevrolat in 1863. In peninsular India, it is well known for its habit of boring through the stems of coffee plants in plantations and is considered a pest and known by the common name coffee white stem borer. Because the larvae damage the plant while being hidden inside the woody stems, it is extremely difficult to control. The control of shade over the coffee bushes however reduces the incidence.
Xylotrechus robustus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Hopping in 1941.
Xylotrechus sartorii is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Chevrolat in 1860.
Xylotrechus schaefferi is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Schott in 1925.
Xylotrechus undulatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Say in 1824.
A stemborer is any insect larva, or arthropod, that bores into plant stems. However the term most frequently refers among the Coleoptera to the larva of certain longhorn beetles such as Dorysthenes buqueti and those of the genus Oberea, and among the Lepidoptera to certain moths of the Crambidae, Castniidae, Gelechiidae, Nolidae, and Pyralidae families.
Xylotrechus annobonae is a species of longhorn beetles in the family Cerambycidae. The species is endemic to the island of Annobón in Equatorial Guinea. The species was named by Christopher Aurivillius in 1910.
Xylotrechus arvicola lazarevi is a subspecies of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Danilevsky in 2016. It is known from Russia, Krasnodar Region, Ubinskoe.
