(Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from Australia
by
TREVOR J. HAWKESWOOD
Abstract - The larval host plants are recorded for Bethelium eburatum (Pascoe, 1863) and B. signiferum (Newman, 1840) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae) from Australia. The new hosts are both Eucalyptus species (Myrtaceae). These records are in general accordance with the host plant selection noted previously for B. signiferum and other members of the genus. Host plants of all known Bethelium species are reviewed.
