Abstract

Introductions of some forest invasive alien species result in important economic, environmental, and ecological impacts. One approach used by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to improve the detection of these species is to collect logs from trees in declining health at high risk sites of introduction and to incubate them to obtain insects, if present. Trichoferus campestris (Faldermann) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) adults emerged, and live larvae were extracted, from one of two logs taken from a dying Norway maple, Acer platanoides Linnaeus (Sapindaceae), in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. In its native range, eastern Asia, this beetle is polyphagous, however, in North America there is no host record despite numerous interceptions of larvae in wood packaging material and captures of adults at various post-entry sites. An examination of the feeding damage caused by T. campestris in that maple suggests this insect is not a primary pest of trees in Ontario.

Résumé

L'introduction de certaines espèces exotiques invasives dans les forêts entraîne des conséquences économiques, environnementales et écologiques. Une méthode utilisée par l'Agence canadienne de l'inspection des aliments pour améliorer la détection de ces espèces est de récolter des billes provenant d'arbres à la santé défaillante dans des sites de haut risque d'introduction et de les incuber pour obtenir, le cas échéant, les insectes qui s'y trouvent. Des adultes de Trichoferus campestris (Faldermann) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) ont émergé de l'une de deux billes obtenues d'un érable de Norvège, Acer platanoides Linnaeus (Sapindaceae) à Mississauga, Ontario, Canada et des larves vivantes en ont été extraites. Dans son aire de répartition d'origine, l'Asie de l'Est, ce coléoptère est polyphage, mais en Amérique du Nord, il n'y a pas d'hôte signalé malgré de nombreuses interceptions de larves dans des matériaux ligneux d'emballage et la capture d'adultes à divers sites après leur entrée. L'examen des dommages causés par l'alimentation de T. campestris sur cet érable laisse croire que l'insecte n'est pas un ravageur primaire des arbres en Ontario.
