Detection


Traps baited with different mixtures have been proposed for detecting adults in the field during the summer months (Gong et al., 2013). Baited traps can also be installed around a site where wood ready for shipment is stored, and for early detection at official points of entry and potentially newly-invaded areas, such as stone fruit orchards. Synthetic pheromone blends of cerambycid beetles have been used to develop trap lures that simultaneously attract multiple species with interesting results in the USA (Wong et al., 2012). In another investigation, A. bungii was not listed among 71 cerambycid species collected in a tropical montane rainforest in southern China by means of traps baited with 10 known cerambycid pheromones (Wickham et al., 2014). Different blends could be tested on A. bungii to verify whether this option for pest surveillance could be considered in the future.
Detailed morphological description of the adult stage is given by several authors for easy identification of A. bungii from cogeneric species Aromia moschata ssp. ambrosiaca and A. orientalis (Plavilstshikov, 1934;Gressitt, 1951;Podany, 1971;Lompe, 2013).
Trees should be inspected, especially trunks and branches, for signs of larval tunnels. Frass extruding from holes in the trees is a sign of infestation (Liu et al., 1999;Garonna, 2012;Garonna et al., 2013;Nugnes et al., 2014a).
