Further contributions to the longhorn beetle (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) fauna of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, Canada.

Sixteen species of Cerambycidae are newly recorded for New Brunswick, Canada; Arhopalus obsoletus (Randall), Atimia confusa confusa (Say), Callidium frigidum Casey, Phymatodes amoenus (Say), Phymatodes testaceus (Linnaeus), Neoclytus mucronatus mucronatus (Fabricius), Xylotrechus aceris Fisher, Xylotrechus sagittatus sagittatus (Germar), Tylonotus bimaculatus Haldeman, Lepturges angulatus (LeConte), Lepturges symmetricus (Haldeman), Urgleptes querci (Fitch), Oplosia nubila (LeConte), Eupogonius subarmatus (LeConte), Monochamus carolinensis (Olivier), and Pogonocherus parvulus LeConte. Urgleptes signatus (LeConte) and Urgleptes querci are newly recorded from Nova Scotia. All but two specimens were collected in 12-funnel Lindgren traps. Xylotrechus aceris, Tylonotus bimaculatus, Lepturges angulatus, Lepturges symmetricus, Urgleptes signatus (NS), and Pogonocherus parvulus were detected exclusively in traps deployed in the forest canopy, and most individuals of Oplosia nubila and Monochamus carolinensis were captured in canopy traps. Arhopalus obsoletus, Atimia confusa confusa, Callidium frigidum, Phymatodes testaceus, and Xylotrechus sagittatus sagittatus were captured almost exclusively in traps near (1 m above) the forest floor. These results highlight the importance of sampling both the understory and upper canopy when using traps for surveying diversity of Cerambycidae.

Introduction

The (longhorn beetles) fauna of New Brunswick was first reviewed by Webster et al. (2009). In that review, 48 species were reported as new to the province. Majka et al. (2010) added two more species to the faunal list. Most recently, Webster et al. (2012a) added six more species and removed (Linnaeus) from the faunal list. Additional species of were newly recorded from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia during a study to develop tools for enhanced detection of invasive species of . The purpose of this paper is to report these new records.

Methods and conventions

Collection methods.

All specimens but two (which were hand collected) were collected from Lindgren 12-funnel trap samples during studies to develop improved tools for detection of invasive species of . Lindgren funnel traps are visually similar to tree trunks and are often effective for sampling species of that live in microhabitats associated with standing trees (Lindgren 1983). The species records come from samples collected in more than 800 funnel traps deployed at 17 sites (24–64 traps per site) between 2012 and 2015. At most sites, equal numbers of traps were deployed in the upper canopy as well as in the understory, but three sites were sampled only with canopy traps, and five sites were sampled only with understory traps. Overall, understory traps outnumbered canopy traps by a factor of 1.3. Canopy traps were 10–20 m above the ground, whereas understory traps were 1–1.5 m above the ground (i.e., 30–50 cm from the bottom of the collecting cup to the ground). In both cases, traps were suspended from rope such that the trap was at least 1 m from the main stem of trees and at least 30 m from another trap. For details of the methods used to deploy Lindgren traps and for sample collection, please see Webster et al. (2012b) and Hughes et al. (2014).

Traps were baited with various multi-lure combinations of plant volatiles and longhorn beetle aggregation/sex pheromones that varied among sites and years. These included high release-rate lures of ethanol and alpha-pinene, as well as hydroxyketones, hexanediols, 2-undecyloxy-1-ethanol (commonly known as monochamol), ipsenol, (E,Z)-6,10-dimethyl-5,9-undecadien-2-ol [(E,Z)-fuscumol] and (E,Z)-6,10-dimethyl-5, 9-undecadien-2-yl acetate [(E,Z)-fuscumol acetate]. The fuscumol and fuscumol acetate lures were purchased from Sylvar Technologies (Fredericton, NB). The hexanediols were synthesized at Atlantic Forestry Centre, and the hydroxyketones were purchased from Bedoukian Research (Danbury, CT), and both were loaded into release devices at Contech Enterprises Inc. (Delta, BC). All other lures were purchased directly from Contech Enterprises Inc. (Delta, BC). Traps baited with these pheromones and plant volatiles have been shown to increase trap catches of many species of longhorn beetles (Lacey et al. 2004, 2009, Hanks et al. 2007, Hanks , Silk et al. 2007, Pajares et al. 2010, Allison et al. 2012, Ryall et al. 2014, Sweeney et al. 2014).

A description of the habitat was recorded for all specimens collected during this survey. Locality and habitat data are presented as on labels for each record. Two labels were used on many specimens, one that included the locality, collection date, and collector, and one with macro- and micro-habitat data and collection method. Information from the two labels is separated by a // in the data presented from each specimen. This information, as well as additional published data, is summarized and discussed in the collection and habitat data section for each species.

Comments.

Webster et al. (2009) reported from New Brunswick based on a series of specimens from Pleasantfield. It was determined that these PageBreakspecimens were mislabeled and were from Pleasantfield, Nova Scotia. Webster et al. (2012a) accordingly removed the species from the faunal list of New Brunswick. This species is reinstated to the faunal list of New Brunswick based on the above records.

Two specimens of were captured during July in a Lindgren funnel trap baited with a multi-lure combination that included its aggregation pheromone, 3-hydroxyhexan-2-one, placed in the understory of an old red pine ( Ait.) forest. According to Yanega (1996), larvae of this species develop under bark of dead and dying hickory ( sp.) (which does not occur in New Brunswick) and rarely pine. Presence of the hydroxyketone lure is likely responsible for detecting because it contains the aggregation pheromone identified for this species (Lacey et al. 2007). Failure to detect in traps baited with its aggregation pheromone at 13 other sites in New Brunswick from 2012–2014 suggests its occurrence in New Brunswick is rare or localized.

were captured in Lindgren traps baited with a multi-lure combination that included monochamol, ipsenol, alpha-pinene, and ethanol in a jack pine forest, an old black spruce stand with white pine, a mature balsam fir forest with white pine, an old white pine stand, an old red pine forest, and a mixed forest with red oak and white pine. Hosts include various species according to Yanega (1996). In New Brunswick, large numbers (many specimens were not vouchered) of adults were captured in a white pine stand, mostly in the canopy. This species was also common in a jack pine stand but uncommon in a red pine forest. These data suggest that white pine may be the preferred host in New Brunswick. This species has a long flight season in New Brunswick from early July to mid-October. Ryall et al (2014) showed that catch of was significantly increased by baiting traps with monochamol, ipsenol, alpha-pinene and ethanol.

was listed for New Brunswick by McNamara (1991). Webster et al. (2012a) could not locate any specimens to support its occurrence in the province but included it in the fauna of the province. Bousquet et al. (2013), however, did not list it as occurring in New Brunswick. The above records support reinstatement of the species to the faunal list of New Brunswick.

Discussion

These new species records of for the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia enrich our knowledge of the region’s fauna and species diversity. With the exception of one specimen of and one specimen of , all longhorn beetle specimens were collected in Lindgren multi-funnel traps placed in either the understory or upper canopy. Of the 16 species collected in traps, three species were collected exclusively in understory traps (, , ), and six species were collected exclusively in canopy traps (, , , , , ). These results highlight the need to sample both the canopy and understory when using traps to survey for beetle species. Differences in insect species composition between traps placed in the upper canopy and understory and the importance of sampling both strata have been shown in several forest habitats (Su and Woods 2001; Vance et al. 2003; Graham et al. 2012; Dodds 2014).
