Aristobia Approximator
''Aristobia approximator'' is a species of beetle in the Longhorn family. This species grows to 36mm. Description This species has a black body with yellow spots, and black tufts on the basal antennomeres, similar to the related species ''Aristobia reticulator''; however, ''A. approximator'' has tufts only on the 3rd antennal segment, while ''A. reticulator'' has tufts on segments 3, 4, and sometimes 5. Diet and distribution This species is documented as feeding on teak Teak (''Tectona grandis'') is a tropical hardwood tree species in the family Lamiaceae.

Longhorn Beetle
The longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), also known as long-horned or longicorns, are a large family of beetles, with over 35,000 species described. Most species are characterized by extremely long antennae, which are often as long as or longer than the beetle's body. In various members of the family, however, the antennae are quite short (e.g., '' Neandra brunnea'') and such species can be difficult to distinguish from related beetle families such as the Chrysomelidae. The scientific name of this beetle family goes back to a figure from Greek mythology: after an argument with nymphs, the shepherd Cerambus was transformed into a large beetle with horns. Description Other than the typical long antennal length, the most consistently distinctive feature of the family is that the antennal sockets are located on low tubercles on the face; other beetles with long antennae lack these tubercles, and cerambycids with short antennae still possess them. They otherwise vary greatly in size, shap ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aristobia Reticulator
''Aristobia reticulator'' is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is known from Bhutan, Myanmar, India, China, Laos, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Vietnam. It feeds on ''Prunus persica'', ''Liquidambar formosana'', '' Quercus acutissima'', '' Prunus salicina'', and '' Nephelium mutabile''. Many references list the name as ''Aristobia testudo'', but this name, though published earlier, is unavailable under the ICZN The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) is a widely accepted convention in zoology that rules the formal scientific naming of organisms treated as animals. It is also informally known as the ICZN Code, for its publisher, the I ..., primarily in that Johann Eusebius Voet's 1778 work giving the name ''testudo'' fails to fulfill the requirement in ICZN Article 11.4 that a work must be consistently binomial; none of Voet's 1778 names, including ''testudo'', are available.

Teak
Teak (''Tectona grandis'') is a tropical hardwood tree species in the family Lamiaceae. It is a large, deciduous tree that occurs in mixed hardwood forests. ''Tectona grandis'' has small, fragrant white flowers arranged in dense clusters (panicles) at the end of the branches. These flowers contain both types of reproductive organs ( perfect flowers). The large, papery leaves of teak trees are often hairy on the lower surface. Teak wood has a leather-like smell when it is freshly milled and is particularly valued for its durability and water resistance. The wood is used for boat building, exterior construction, veneer, furniture, carving, turnings, and other small wood projects. ''Tectona grandis'' is native to south and southeast Asia, mainly Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Sri Lanka, but is naturalised and cultivated in many countries in Africa and the Caribbean. Myanmar's teak forests account for nearly half of the world's naturally occurring teak. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
