GB/T 36813-2018 in English

1. Scope

This standard specifies the quarantine and identification methods of Chinese and non-Chinese species of the genus White-striped Longicorn Beetle, and is applicable to the quarantine and identification of insects of the genus White-striped Longicorn Beetle carried in inbound and outbound timber, boards and wooden packaging.

2. Terms and Definitions

3. Basic information of the genus Batocera Dejean

The genus Batocera Dejean belongs to the order Coleoptera, family Cerambycidae, subfamily Lamiinae, tribe Batocerini.

There are 55 species recorded and named worldwide, and 11 species have been recorded in my country. The main difference from other closely related genera such as Apriona Chevrolat is that the antennal segments often have dense short hairs or rough spines on the lower side.

4. Principle of the method

According to the damage of the white-striped longhorn beetle, observe the bark logs and branches of imported broad-leaved trees at the quarantine site, obtain adult insect samples, and when larvae are found, take them back together with the wood for breeding. After the larvae have emerged into adults, make pin specimens, observe them under a microscope, and determine the species based on morphological characteristics.

5. Laboratory Identification

6. Implementation suggestions

Quarantine personnel:Strictly follow the standard operating procedures for on-site inspections and laboratory identification to ensure accurate identification of non-Chinese species of the genus Litopelta.

Enterprises:When importing and exporting wood and wood products, they must cooperate with inspection and quarantine work, provide relevant quarantine certification materials, and prevent the invasion of foreign pests.

Scientific research institutions:It is recommended to further study the molecular biological characteristics of the genus Litopelta and develop faster and more accurate identification methods.
