Abstract
Abstract. A new species of Periergates Lacordaire, 1872 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Onciderini) from Costa Rica is described: Periergates kenjii Nearns & Swift, sp. nov. All life stages (egg, larva, pupa, and adult) are described and illustrated. Girdling behavior in Periergates is reported for the first time. Eight host plants are recorded for the new species: Cojoba costaricensis Britton & Rose (Fabaceae), Quercus cortesii Liebm. (Fagaceae), Q. insignis M. Martens & Galeotti, Alfaroa williamsii Ant. Molina (Juglandaceae), Cinnamomum tonduzii (Mez) Kosterm. (Lauraceae), Persea sp. (Lauraceae), Psidium guajava L. (Myrtaceae), and Ardisia costaricensis Lundell (Primulaceae). Periergates chiriquensis Bates, 1885 is excluded from the Costa Rica fauna, and a key to the known species of Periergates is provided.
期刊介绍:
The Pan-Pacific Entomologist (ISSN 0031-0603) is published quarterly (January, April, July and October) by the Pacific Coast Entomological Society, in cooperation with the California Academy of Sciences. The journal serves as a refereed publication outlet and accepts manuscripts on all aspects of the biosystematics of insects and closely related arthropods, especially articles dealing with their taxonomy, biology, behavior, ecology, life history, biogeography and distribution. Membership in the Pacific Coast Entomological Society includes subscription to The Pan-Pacific Entomologist, and Society Proceedings typically appear in the October issue of each volume.
