Abstract - The larva of Callipogon (Enoplocerus) armillatus (L.) collected in a tree of Casuarina cunninghamiana Miq. (Casuarinaceae) in the Chaco district (Argentina), larval tunnels, and adult emergence holes and sap-sucking habit are illustrated and described. The identity of the native host plant and the adaptation to an exotic one are also discussed.
