Resumo
Wood-boring beetles develop in live trees and dead wood, performing ecological services such as decomposition
and regulation of forest resources. Species of the Cerambycidae family, widely distributed in the world, bore into
the trunks of trees and dead wood in native and cultivated areas. The objective is to report the first host plant
for Thoracibidion lineatocolle (Thomson, 1865) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) and a new host plant for Temnopis
megacephala (Germar, 1824) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest biome. Three logs, with
one-meter-long by 20 cm in diameter, were cut from the trunk of a healthy Anadenanthera colubrina (Fabaceae)
tree in October 2013 and tied in the understory at 1.5m high in the Rio Doce State Park, Minas Gerais State, Brazil.
The logs, exposed in the forest, were each removed after 40, 80 and 120 days and stored individually in a cardboard
box in the “Laboratório de Campo do Projeto de Ecologia de Longa Duração (PELD-CNPq)” in the Rio Doce State
Park. A total of 94 individuals of T. lineatocolle and 228 of T. megacephala emerged from the A. colubrina logs. This
is the first report of a host plant for T. lineatocolle and a new host plant for T. megacephala.
