Özet
The detection of cerambycids and their feeding
preferences within the natural ecosystems is of great ecological and economic
importance. Accordingly, the paper presents two subspecies of Stenhomalus bicolor (Kraatz) with new
data on their feeding preferences and distribution patterns for the first time.
According to the present study, both subspecies of Stenhomalus bicolor (Kraatz) prefer deciduous trees or shrubs as
their host plants. As a result, Berberis sp.
(Berberidaceae) is determined as new host plants species and family for Stenhomalus bicolor bicolor (Kraatz), while Cercis sp.
(Caesalpiniaceae), Cornus sp.
(Cornaceae), Ficus carica (Moraceae),
Crataegus sp., Prunus laurocerasus (Rosaceae), Myrtus communis (Myrtaceae) and Styrax
officinale (Styracaceae) are determined as new host plants
species and families for Stenhomalus
bicolor yazelae Özdikmen. In
addition, Stenhomalus bicolor bicolor (Kraatz) is recorded for the
first time from Ankara and Gümüşhane provinces in Turkey, while Stenhomalus bicolor yazelae Özdikmen is recorded for the first time from Adana and
Muğla provinces in Turkey.
