Parevander xanthomelas

Parevander xanthomelas is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae.[6] It was described by Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville in 1844,[6][3][4] and has been classified in the genus Parevander since the circumscription of that genus by Per Olof Christopher Aurivillius in 1912.[1]

Binomial name
Parevander xanthomelas
Synonyms[2]
  • Amphidesmus xanthomelas Guérin-Méneville, 1844[3][4]
  • Evander xanthomelas Bates, 1880[5]

Range

Its type locality was described as "the interior of Mexico";[3] Auguste Sallé and Edward Palmer later obtained specimens in Izúcar, Puebla and Monclova, Coahuila, respectively.[7] It's also been observed in the state of Jalisco in both San Buenaventura[8] and in Chamela.[9] as well as in the states of Chiapas,[10] Morelos,[11] Guerrero, and Oaxaca.[12] Earle Gorton Linsley reported the species was "rather common in Southern and Central Mexico."[2]

In Guatemala, it was found in Morazán, El Progreso[lower-alpha 1] by George Charles Champion.[5] Its habitat also includes Guanacaste, Costa Rica.[13] Its range in Honduras includes the Francisco Morazán Department.[14] In Texas, it has been found in Hidalgo and Starr Counties in the Rio Grande Valley.[15] George Henry Horn noted there were specimens in the Jardin des plantes which were collected in Southern California.[16]

Relationship with plants

It has been observed on flowers of Viguiera stenoloba,[15][17] Tithonia sp.,[9] Tithonia rotundifolia, Cosmos sulphureus,[10] Viguiera dentata, and Montanoa sp.[18] Its larvae eat the roots of Lantana camara.[19] In 1902, there was an unsuccessful attempt to use P. xanthomelas as a biological control agent to combat L. camara in Hawaii, where it's an invasive species.[20][21][22] It is not established in Hawaii.[23]

Notes
  1. Bates recorded the location as Tocoy, Guatemala; the city of Tocoy Tzimá changed its name to Morazán 1887.
