New Host Plant for the SpeciesAgapanthia lateralisGangl. (Coleoptera; Cerambycidae)

Abstract

ABSTRACT We have found a new host plant for the long-horn beetle Agapanthia lateralis Gangl. in the north Turkey in the city Kastamonu and in its surroundings. The adults hatched from stalks of herb Onobrychis hypargyrea Boiss. where larvae were found. The diet of Agapanthia lateralis is broader than previously thought and a larger diversity of host plants can probably enable them to occur in more diverse habitats.
