New records of Bostrichidae

(Insecta: Coleoptera, Bostrichidae, Bostrichinae, Lyctinae, Polycaoninae, Dinoderinae, Apatinae)

Lan-Yu LIU

Abstract

This paper lists new and remarkable records of 107 species of bostrichid beetles from many parts of the
world. Many records show that species are distributed more widely within a biogeographic region than
previous records suggested, e.g. Cephalotoma perdepressa LESNE, 1937, Xylocis tortilicornis LESNE, 1901
in the Oriental region, Bostrychoplites megaceros LESNE, 1899 and Xyloperthella guineensis ROBERTS, 1976
in the Afrotropical region, and Trogoxylon giacobbii SANTORO, 1957 and Melalgus femoralis (FABRICIUS,
1792) in the Neotropical region. In some cases the species are recorded for the first time from a different
biogeographic realm, e.g. the Oriental and Australian species Bostrychopsis parallela (LESNE, 1895) has been
introduced into the Afrotropical region, the Neoguinean species Minthea humericosta LESNE, 1936 and the
Afrotropical species Dinoderopsis serriger LESNE, 1923 have been introduced into the Oriental region, and
the Madagascan species Apate geayi LESNE, 1907 has been introduced into the Mediterranean area.

Introduction

The bostrichid beetles have a world-wide distribution but are mainly found in tropical and arid areas. They
are commonly known as powder-post beetles, because of the ability of the larvae and some adults to reduce
sapwood, particularly of hardwoods, into a powdery frass. Hence, the beetles are of considerable economic
importance to forestry and the wood-using industries (RAI & CHATTERJEE 1963). Many species are adapted
to live in environments with low humidity (CROWSON 1981), hence their importance as pests of dried wood
and products made of wood as well. Because they feed on dry wood, Bostrichids are frequently transported
between countries, especially in wood packing materials such as crates and dunnage, and are often intercepted
at ports and cargo distribution centres (HAACK 2006). Sometimes these species become established in the
country to which they have been imported (e.g. GERBERG 1957; IVIE 2002; HAACK 2006).
The first complete catalogue of Bostrichidae worldwide was given by LESNE (1938). The latest world-
wide catalogue of Bostrichidae, including the distribution of each species, has been published by BOROWSKI
and WÊGRZYNOWICZ (2007).
This has been amended and corrected by IVIE (2010), and his corrections to nomenclature have been
incorporated here. In the Palearctic region (biogeographical regions used in this paper are those of MORRONE,
2002), most records from Europe refer to species which have been intercepted from time to time or have
invaded the area (e.g. GEIS 1994, 1995; LÓPEZ-COLÓN 1998, 1999; RUSSO 2005). The first list of the Chinese
bostrichid fauna was not published until recently (CHU & ZHANG 1997), and revised in 2002 (HUA 2002).
Records of the bostrichid fauna in the Middle East are also rare, only Iran (DAMOISEAU 1969a) and Israel
(HALPERIN & DAMOISEAU 2004) have been well studied. In the Nearctic region, the bostrichid fauna has been
thoroughly studied by FISHER (1950), GERBERG (1957) and IVIE (2002). From 1952 to 1965, VRYDAGH
worked on the bostrichid fauna of the Afrotropical region, and his work was continued by DAMOISEAU (1968,
1969b, 1972, 1973). After SANTORO (1956-1960) and REICHARDT (1962, 1964, 1970), almost no one has
worked on the bostrichid fauna of the Neotropical region, except for records of invading species (e.g. PERES
FILHO et al. 2006). Lesne revised part of the Oriental fauna from 1939 to 1941, RAI (1963-1978) revised part
of the Indian bostrichid fauna, LE (1973) studied the fauna of north Vietnam, and LIU et al. (2006) reviewed
the Taiwanese fauna. The bostrichid fauna in the Australotropical and Austral regions has rarely been studied
except for work by VRYDAGH (1958, 1959).

When I examined the bostrichids in many important European coleopteran collections from 2005 to 2010,
more unpublished faunistic records were found. Hence, this paper provides a list of noteworthy new faunistic
records of 107 bostrichid species, including 22 lyctines (including 12 Lyctini and 10 Trogoxylini), 2
polycaonines, 7 dinoderines, 70 bostrichines ( including 23 Bostrichini, 21 Sinoxylini and 26 Xyloperthini)
and 6 apatines.

New records
The following records are all based on specimens examined by me between 2005 and 2010. The species are
listed alphabetically under their respective subfamilies and tribes. The taxonomic system used here is that of
BOROWSKI & WÊGRZYNOWICZ (2007), which has revised by IVIE (2010). It is not clear whether all of them
are established in the countries where they have been collected. Further collections are needed particularly
for those species which are represented only by single specimens, or collected from imported materials, or
without information on the collector or date of collection. The number following the locality or before the
date is the number of specimens that I have examined. The collections in which the specimens are currently
deposited are also given in abbreviation (Georg Frey's collections are kept separately from the main beetle
collections in NHMB, hence the record will be noted NHMB/Frey). The majority of specimens were
identified by me, and for those which were not, the name of the identifier is given after the collector. Notes
on the distribution of the species are given after each record.

Conclusions

It is evident from these new records that many species of Bostrichidae are more widespread than the catalogue
of BOROWSKI and WÊGRZYNOWICZ (2007) suggests, either within a geographical region (e.g. Cephalotoma
perdepressa LESNE, 1937), or amongst geographical regions (e.g. Bostrychopsis parallela (LESNE, 1895)). There
are two main reasons for this. Firstly, collecting in new areas and different habitats of any insect family always
reveals extensions of distribution, or fills in gaps in previously known distributions. Secondly, the globalization
of trade invariably results in the transport of species to new areas outside their natural range. This is particularly
the case for bostrichids which can remain undetected in dry wood for long periods, and still emerge at some
later date.
Some of the new records doubtless represent introductions which have not become established, e.g. Lyctus
pubescens Panzer, 1793 in Taiwan and Micrapate scabrata (ERICHSON, 1847) in Europe. However, in other
cases, it can be expected that further studies will reveal that establishment has occurred. It is highly probable
that bostrichids will continue to be spread by human activities to more countries and more continents with the
contingent risk of the introduction and establishment of pest species. This study also demonstrates that much
unidentified material deserving investigation is available in many collections.

 Zusammenfassung
In der vorliegenden Publikation werden 107 neue und bemerkenswerte faunistische Nachweise von Bohrkäfern
(Bostrichidae) aus vielen Teilen der Welt aufgelistet. Viele Fundmeldungen zeigen, dass die Arten sehr viel
weiter verbreitet sind als man bisher vermutete. Beispiele dafür sind Cephalotoma perdepressa LESNE und
Xylocis tortilicornis LESNE in der Orientalis, Bostrychoplites megaceros LESNE und Xyloperthella guineensis
ROBERTS im Afrotropischen Bereich sowie Trogoxylon giacobbii SANTORO und Melalgus femoralis (FABRICIUS)
in der Neotropis.
Manche Fundmeldungen sind Neunachweise für entsprechende Faunenreiche. Zum Beispiel wurde die
orientalisch-australische Art Bostrychopsis parallela (LESNE) ebenso in die Afrotropis eingeschleppt wie die
afrotropische Art Dinoderopsis serriger Lesne und Minthea humericosta LESNE aus Neuguinea in die Orientalis
oder die Madagassische Art Apate geayi LESNE in das Mittelmeergebiet.
