Catches of Longhorn Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Traps Baited with Generic Pine Beetle Lure Blend Unaffected by <i>Ips</i> Pheromones Lanierone and <i>cis</i>-Verbenol in Georgia

Abstract A generic trap lure blend of host volatiles (ethanol + α-pinene) and Ips bark beetle pheromones (ipsenol ipsdienol) is effective for detecting numerous species longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in pine forests North America. In 2021, the potential benefits adding two other (lanierone cis-verbenol) to traps baited with were determined north Georgia. Lanierone cis-verbenol had no effect on catches six cerambycid captured study: Acanthocinus nodosus (F.), A. obsoletus (LeConte), Astylopsis arcuata Monochamus titillator Neoclytus acuminatus Xylotrechus sagittatus Germar. Similarly, neither compound any some common ambrosia snout weevils nor associated predators, all commonly caught blend. contrast, avulsus Eichhoff I. grandicollis (Eichhoff) enhanced by addition lanierone, whereas those calligraphus (Germar) Hylastes tenuis (Curculionidae) cis-verbenol. The data do not support lanierone or ethanol α-pinene ipsenol ipsdienol as a broad detection
