Xystrocera globosa, commonly known as the Lebbek borer, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Guillaume-Antoine Olivier in 1795. It is distributed widely in southern and southeast Asia, as well as Australasia, and has been introduced to other parts of the world.

Xystrocera globosa was first scientifically described by Guillaume-Antoine Olivier in 1795 with the name Cerambix globosus, as part of the fourth volume of Entomologie, ou Histoire Naturelle des Insectes (transl. Entomology, or Natural History of Insects). He described its appearance and colour and noted that it was found around Batavia. [1] A later volume of the series, published in 1808, provided illustrations of the species described, including C. globosus. [2]

The current genus name, Xystrocera , derives from two Greek words: ξύστρα, meaning a grooming tool, and χέρας, meaning a horn. [3] The genus Xystrocera was established by Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville in 1834 and X. globosa was classified in it since its inception. [4] [5] Although Serville did not designate a type species for his genus, X. globosa has been retroactively declared it. [6] : 223 

Xystrocera globosa has several common names: it is known as the "Lebbek borer", [7] the "monkeypod roundheaded borer", [8] and the "green-lined albizzia longicorn". [9]

In 2019, Chinese specimens were collected and had their mitochondrial DNA extracted from leg tissue; it was then sequenced and compared to other species. The mitogenome of X. globosa comprises 15707 base pairs with 13 protein-coding genes. The phylogenetic analysis based on the mitochondrial DNA, which included 19 species, showed Xystrocera globosa as a sister taxon to Xylotrechus grayii. [10]

Description

A Xystrocera globosa is a reddish-brown longhorn beetle measuring from 1.5 to 3.2 centimetres (0.59 to 1.3 in) long. [11] It can be distinguished from other members of the genus Xystrocera by its ruddy antennae, the dark bands on its elytra (the hardened forewings), and narrow bands on its sides. [6]

Distribution

Xystrocera globosa is found in temperate and tropical Asia: it is known from Japan to Sri Lanka, including India, Pakistan, and the Korean peninsula; and from southeast Asia, from Thailand and Vietnam down through the Malay peninsula and Maritime Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, to New Guinea and northern Australia. It is equally known from Madagascar, Egypt, Puerto Rico, and Mauritius, [11] [9] and is found in both tropical Africa and the Nearctic. [12] The species is introduced to the Caribbean. [13] The beetles have also been reported from Hawaii, in Oahu and Honolulu; they were very likely introduced by humans. [14] It is also introduced to Israel. [12]

<i>Oryctes</i> Genus of beetles

Oryctes is the economically most important genus of rhinoceros beetles in the subfamily Dynastinae and includes serious pests of palm trees. A total of 47 species have been assigned to the genus, including 2 fossil ones. The extant species are widely distributed in Africa, as well as in Europe, Asia and the Pacific. No established populations are known from the Americas. The species are typically between 30 and 60 mm long, dark brown to black, with a robust body and a strong cuticle. They can be distinguished from other genera in the tribe Oryctini by the structure of the pronotum, the horn on the head, the mouthparts and other features.

Oryctes monoceros, commonly known as African rhinoceros beetle, is a species of rhinoceros beetles from the subfamily Dynastinae which is common in sub-Saharan Africa. Its distribution extends from Senegal and Chad in the North to South Africa in the South and includes the islands of Madagascar, Seychelles and Réunion in the East. O. monoceros is similar in size and biology to O. rhinoceros found in tropical parts of Asia and the Pacific. Both species are serious pests of coconut and oil palms and attack these by boring into the crown of the palms and feeding on the young developing fronds. Taxonomically, O. monoceros and O. rhinoceros belong to different subgenera of Oryctes, the main differences between both species are: Oryctes monoceros has 3 immovable spikes at the tip of the hindtibia and on average males have a shorter horn than O. rhinoceros which is more strongly curved backwards. Oryctes rhinoceros has 2 immovable spikes at the tip of the hindtibia and on average males have a longer horn than in O. monoceros which is only slightly curved backwards.
