Phoracantha Semipunctata
''Phoracantha semipunctata'', the Australian Eucalyptus longhorn, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. Native to Australia, it has now spread to many parts of the world, including practically all countries where tree species of ''Eucalyptus'' have been introduced. It has been classified as an invasive pest species of ''Eucalyptus'' outside Australia. Within Australia, ''Phoracantha semipunctata'' primarily seeks for decaying trees and branches which have been critically impaired due to natural disasters. In other regions of the world, it inflicts critical damage upon introduced ''Eucalyptus'' trees. However, the damage inflicted by ''Phoracantha semipunctata'' may be seen as a positive factor in some regions, as ''Eucalyptus'' trees that are introduced are seen as invasive plant species imposing harm on the natural environment. ''Phoracantha semipunctata'' are typically dark brown & beige in colour and are approximately similar in size measuring at around 2.3cm lo ...

Phoracantha Obscura
The longicorn beetle ''Phoracantha obscura'' is a species of beetle native to Australia. Description Males are between 13 and 28 mm while females are 14 to 29 mm. The head, pronotum and elytra An elytron (; ; , ) is a modified, hardened forewing of beetles (Coleoptera), though a few of the true bugs ( Hemiptera) such as the family Schizopteridae are extremely similar; in true bugs, the forewings are called hemelytra (sometimes altern ... vary from blackish brown to dark reddish brown, and the elytra have two yellow fascia.

Phoracantha Recurva
''Phoracantha recurva'', the lesser Eucalyptus longhorn, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae 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 .... It is widespread in many countries and in the early 2000s it was also observed in Sardinia, perhaps brought by a ship. Description This medium-sized beetle features a complex pattern of cream and brown markings. It is similar to the related '' P. semipunctata'', but differs in the smaller size and more limited dark markings. Unlike that species the basal portion of the elytra appears dominantly pale, with only a few separated dark spots instead of a series of closer markings.Food and Agriculture OrganizatioForest Pest Species Profile - Phoracantha recurva & semipunctata Retrieved on 9 August 2016.

Cerambycidae
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] |
