Cerambycidae is one of the richest families in mm wide; being broad, elliptical, and tapering to beetles, which includes 35,000 catalogued species wards either edge. Full-grown larvae measured distributed throughout the world (Grimaldi & 75 mm in length and 13.5 mm. in breadth, and Engel 2005). The number of cerambycid species they were yellow in color. The pupae were yel reported from India is 1,500 (Beeson 1941; Breunlow in color and measured 42 mm long and 35 ing 1960-62, 1963a, 1963b, 1964, 1965, 1966). mm wide. The adult female measured 32 mm in Aeolesthes is one of the large genera of the Cerlength and 10 mm in breadth. The size male was ambycidae with 31 species from different parts of slightly smaller than the female (Khan & Khan, the world. There are 6 Aeolesthes species in the 1942). Indian subcontinent, but these species are well Aeolesthes holosericea occurs in greater part distributed in the oriental region. These 6 species of India according to availability of host plants, are: Aeolesthes holosericea Fab., Aeolesthes basiRegupathy et al. (1995) reported it on Acacia cornis Gahan, Aeolesthes sinensis Gahan, Aeoleschundra (Rottler) Willd. (Fabales: Faaceae). thes induta Newman, Aeolesthes indicola Bates Makihara et al. (2008) reported that A. holoseri and Aeolesthes sarta Solsky. Mature reproductive cea is distributed throughout Sri Lanka, India, forms range from 20 to 44 mm in length and 6 to Pakistan, South China, Hainan, Thailand, Ma 13 mm in width and they are usually dark brown laysia, Indonesia and Laos, and recorded it on 46 and reddish brown (Gahan 1906). Among these 6 different plant species. Prakash et al.

In Aug 2011, on (Gentianales: Rubiaceae) (Beeson, 1941). the Shivaji University campus, Kolhapur District Aeolesthes holosericea and A. sarta are the (MS) India, 4 grubs and 1 pupal case of A. ho most injurious species in the Indian forests. Aelosericea were found under bark of A. hirsutus. olesthes sarta is known to feed on the 15 different These larvae were obtained from single tree of A. plant species. Aeolesthes holosericea feeds on 45 hirsutus. The sample was collected from a single different plant species in the forest area of India, branch of 3 m (10 feet) length and 30 cm diam. These host plants are presented in Table 1 (BeeThese developing stages were brought to the lab son 1941, Mamlayya et al. 2009). oratory with the pieces of the same branch and Detailed information is available on the biokept for rearing under laboratory conditions at 28 logical requirements of the A. holosericea along °C to 30 °C with varying RH. After an interval of with its host range and distribution within In9 months, adults were obtained from the pupal dian subcontinent (Gahan 1906; Stebbing 1914; cases. Mating was also observed under laboratory Khan & Khan 1942). The grubs of A. holosericea conditions, which lasted for 1.5 h. The mated fe are known to damage healthy green trees, sickly male laid eggs on the surface of a branch piece of standing trees and even freshly felled trees (StebA. hirsutus (60 cm (2 feet) long and 30 cm in diam ) bing 1914). Beeson (1941) reported that A. holoin the laboratory.
