Bostrichidae
The Bostrichidae are a family of beetles with more than 700 described species. They are commonly called auger beetles, false powderpost beetles, or horned powderpost beetles. The head of most auger beetles cannot be seen from above, as it is downwardly directed and hidden by the thorax. Exceptions are the powderpost beetles (subfamily Lyctinae), and members of the subfamily Psoinae. ''Bostrychoplites cornutus'' has large, distinctive thoracic horns, and is found in parts of Africa and Arabia; it is often imported to Europe as larvae in African wooden bowls ("ethnic souvenirs") . The fossil record of the family extends to the Cretaceous, with the oldest records being from the Cenomanian aged Charentese and Burmese ambers, belonging to the extant genus '' Stephanopachys'' and the extant subfamilies Dinoderinae and Polycaoninae. Selected species This list is incomplete: * '' Amphicerus cornutus'' (Pallas, 1772) * ''Apate terebrans'' (Pallas, 1772) * ''Prostephanus truncat ...

Apate Terebrans
''Apate terebrans'', common names shot-hole borer or trunk borer or girdler, is a species of horned powder-post beetles belonging to the family Bostrichidae. Description ''Apate terebrans'' can reach a length of . The body is black or dark brown, elongated, and somewhat cylindrical. The head is bent downward and scarcely visible from above, its pronotum has rasp-like teeth in the front, the elytra have two or three prominent ridges, and the legs have razor-sharp claws. These polyphagous boring beetles are a dangerous pest, causing significant damages to the plantations and forests. The larvae develop in a variety of timbers, where they bore tunnels, lowering the commercial value of the wood. Adults also feed on living trees and may cause the death of young plants. The lifecycle of these insects usually lasts 1 to 3 years. Main host plants are cashew (''Anacardium occidentale''), various ''Acacia'' and ''Citrus'' species, coffee ('' Coffea arabica'', '' Coffea robusta''), '' ...

Dinoderus Brevis Horn 1878 (31918844386)
''Dinoderus'' is a genus of bamboo powderpost beetles in the family Bostrichidae. There are more than 20 described species in ''Dinoderus''. Description In adults of ''Dinoderus'', the pronotum is hood-like and conceals the head from above (a feature shared with other Dinoderinae). The body ranges from 2.2 to 4.5 mm in length. The pronotum has posterolateral carina, though these are weakly developed in some species. The elytra are never more than twice as long as the pronotum. The second segment of the antenna is less than half as long as the first segment. Pests Some species in this genus, namely ''D. japonicus'', ''D. minutus'', ''D. ocellaris'' and ''D. brevis'' are major pests of bamboo, attacking both harvested culms and finished products. Adults enter culms via wounds or cut ends, make horizontal tunnels and deposit eggs. These hatch into larvae, which bore longitudinally in culms, making criss-crossing tunnels. They also attack wood and stored foods, such as yam chip ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lyctinae
Powderpost beetles are a group of seventy species of woodboring beetles classified in the insect subfamily Lyctinae. These beetles, along with spider beetles, death watch beetles, common furniture beetles, skin beetles, and others, make up the superfamily Bostrichoidea. While most woodborers have a large prothorax, powderpost beetles do not, making their heads more visible. In addition to this, their antennae have two-jointed clubs. They are considered pests and attack deciduous trees, over time reducing the wood to a powdery dust. The damage caused by longhorn beetles (family Cerambycidae) is often confused with that of powderpost beetles, but the two groups are unrelated. The larvae of the Cerambycidae are white, straight and generally flat-headed, whereas those of the Bostrichidae are white and C-shaped. Name The term "powderpost" comes from the fact that the larvae of these beetles feed on wood and, given enough time, can reduce it to a mass of fine powder. Because of th ...
