Ethanol-attracted
Guides
Aethecerinus wilsonii
Aethecerinus wilsonii is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by George Henry Horn in 1860. The species has been recorded from jug traps baited with ethanol in juniper/oak/pinyon woodland habitats in northwestern Oklahoma and eastern New Mexico. It appears to be attracted to ethanol-based baits and has been collected during late summer and early fall.
Ambrosiodmus rubricollis
Ambrosiodmus rubricollis is an ambrosia beetle native to eastern and southern Asia that has been introduced to Europe and North America. As a member of the genus Ambrosiodmus, it maintains a mutualistic symbiosis with the white-rot fungus Flavodon ambrosius, which is capable of true wood decomposition—an unusual trait among ambrosia beetles. The species has been documented attacking young Tasmanian blue gum trees (Eucalyptus globulus) in Portugal and has been detected in Slovenia and Italy. Its introduction to non-native regions raises concern given the potential of Ambrosiodmus species to vector pathogenic fungi.
Batyle ignicollis
Fire-necked Longhorn Beetle
Batyle ignicollis is a longhorned beetle in the tribe Trachyderini, known for its diurnal activity and flower-visiting behavior. It was described by Thomas Say in 1824. The species has been documented in sand dune habitats of northwestern Oklahoma, where adults have been observed resting on inflorescences of Styllingia sylvatica (Queen's delight), suggesting possible crepuscular or nocturnal roosting behavior. The species is attracted to ethanol-based traps, indicating a probable association with fermenting plant materials or dead wood.
Eburia
Eburia is a genus of longhorn beetles (family Cerambycidae, subfamily Cerambycinae, tribe Eburiini) established by Lacordaire in 1830. Species within this genus are attracted to ethanol and wine-based baits, with E. quadrigeminata being frequently documented in bait trap studies across Missouri and surrounding regions. The genus occurs in both eastern and western North America, with some evidence suggesting regional species replacement patterns.
Eburia quadrigeminata
Ivory-marked Beetle, Ivory-marked Borer
Eburia quadrigeminata is a North American longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae. Adults range from 12–25 mm in length and are attracted to ethanol-based baits, often captured in bait traps in substantial numbers. The species is widely distributed across eastern and central North America, with records from the eastern United States westward to Oklahoma. Larvae develop in sound, non-decaying hardwood, including timber.
Glycobius speciosus
Sugar Maple Borer
Glycobius speciosus, commonly known as the sugar maple borer, is a small longhorned beetle in the tribe Clytini. It is the sole species in its genus. The species is a specialist wood-borer whose larvae develop in living sugar maple trees, causing significant damage to the host. Adults are active in spring and early summer and are attracted to ethanol-based baits. The species is distributed across northeastern North America, from Canada through the northeastern United States.
Silvanus recticollis
Silvanus recticollis is a small silvan flat bark beetle in the family Silvanidae, distributed across Afro-Oriental regions with recent introductions to Europe and North America. Adults are 1.69–2.19 mm in length with an elongated, moderately depressed body form and uniformly yellowish-brown coloration. The species has been documented from stored products and natural habitats including forests and woodlands.
Stenosphenus dolosus
Stenosphenus dolosus is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by George Henry Horn in 1885. It belongs to the tribe Elaphidiini, a diverse group of cerambycids often associated with woody vegetation. Field observations indicate adults are attracted to ethanol-baited traps and have been found resting on thorny branches of lotebush (Zizyphus obtusifolium) during evening hours. The species occurs in the southwestern United States and Mexico.
