Quarantine and identification of Bostrychoplites cornutus(Olivier,1790),a pest of potential invasion risk
Bostrychoplites cornutus(Olivier,1790)is distributed in Africa,Asia,Europe,North America and other regions,and it mainly infests economic plants such as Triplochiton scleroxylon,Gliricidia sepium,Nesogordonia papaverifera,etc.The pest has been intercepted many times at quarantine ports in China,which is a potential threat of invasion to China.The taxonomic status,morphological characteristics,distribution,hosts,the morphological differences between Bostrychoplites species were illustrated,so as to simplify the difficulty of quarantine and identification of this pest,and provide some reference for its identification at frontier ports.
