Longhorned woodboring beetles (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) from Cusuco National Park, Honduras: new species, new records, and revalidation

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2021
An ongoing study of the longhorned beetle fauna in the cloud forests of Cusuco National Park revealed multiple additions to the Honduran fauna. Four new species are described: Heterachthes caceresae sp. nov.

Two new species of the genus Phaea Newman, 1840 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from Central and South America [PDF]

Кавказский энтомологический бюллетень, 2020
Two new cerambycid species of the genus Phaea Newman, 1840 are described. Phaea hirsuticollis sp. n. from Costa Rica issimilar to Ph. monostigma (Haldeman, 1847) and Ph. hoegei Bates, 1881 and differs from both species in the coloration of body, pronotal

Exploring the range expansion of the yellow‐spotted longhorn beetle Psacothea hilaris hilaris in northern Italy

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 25, Issue 4, Page 511-521, November 2023., 2023
We investigate the range expansion of Psacothea hilaris hilaris over 16 years in Italy. the pest has been ascertained on an area estimated at more than 1,750 km2. After an initial phase of settlement, the insect is now spreading southward. Adults has been found in activity on vegetation from April to the beginning of December, with a peak of presence ...

First evidence of a horizontally‐acquired GH‐7 cellobiohydrolase from a longhorned beetle genome

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 114, Issue 2, Page 1-14, October 2023., 2023
Cellobiohydrolases of glycoside hydrolase family 7 (GH7) in longhorned beetles likely came from Ascomycete fungus via HGT. GH7 cellobiohydrolases were independently acquired multiple times in Metazoa through horizontal gene transfer. GH7 cellobiohydrolases, along with other enzymes, help longhorned beetle larvae break down cellulose into glucose units ...

Hexagonal‐Close‐Packed Colloidal Crystals in Glenea celestis Beetles

Small Science, Volume 3, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Through the use of various optical and structural characterization techniques, it is demonstrated that the colors of Glenea celestis beetles originate from hexagonal‐close‐packed (HCP) spheres found within their scales. Using full wave optical simulations, the optical properties of colloidal crystals with varying structures and fill fractions are ...

Genome sequencing provides insights into the evolution of gene families encoding plant cell wall‐degrading enzymes in longhorned beetles

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 469-483, October 2023., 2023
Cerambycidae genomes encode an arsenal of horizontally‐acquired plant cell wall‐degrading enzymes. Most of the PCWDE‐encoding genes of bacterial origin gained introns after their transfer into the beetle genome, and are surrounded by typical insect genes and/or transposable elements.
