New records of Aeolesthes sarta (Solsky, 1871) (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) in Kazakhstan

Abstract

Dangerous invasive pest the City longhorn beetle Aeolesthes sarta (Solsky, 1871) is firstly recorded from West Kazakhstan. The finds of A. sarta from Mangystau Oblast of West Kazakhstan are currently the northernmost and westernmost localities for this species and new records for Central Asia. The finds of this species in Kyzylorda Oblast (Zhanakorgan, Baikenge and Shieli vill.) show gradual penetration of this species into the south and west of Kazakhstan, and Taraz into the southeast of the country. Thus, the species spreads across the territory of Kazakhstan both in the western and eastern directions. The reasons for the resettlement are both accidental importation with building wood and planting material, and climate warming, which allows it to gain a foothold in previously inaccessible habitats. The species composition of trees damaged by A. sarta in Kazakhstan is identified. The most populated trees were black poplar Populus nigra and silver poplar P. alba, silverberry Elaeagnus angustifolia and Siberian elm Ulmus pumila, the least populated were Sogdian ash Fraxinus sogdiana, honey locust Gleditsia triacanthos and ashleaf maple Acer negundo.

Introduction

The genus Aeolesthes Gahan, 1890 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) includes 32 species from the world (GBIF 2023) and is comprised of ten species in the Palaearctic Region (Danylevsky and Smetana 2010). Beetles from this genus are widespread in the Oriental Region and Australia (GBIF 2023). The larvae of the beetles of this genus develop on different types of trees and shrubs. Many of them are dangerous polyphagous pests of fruit and ornamental plants. One species, city longhorn beetle (sart longhorn beetle, uzbek city longhorn beetle) Aeolesthes sarta (Solsky, 1871), was known from Kazakhstan (Kostin 1973; EPPO 2005; Khan et al 2013; Temreshev and Kazenas 2015; CAPS 2020; EPPO 2022).

Aeolesthes sarta is distributed in Asia. The native area of A. sarta is Pakistan and Western India (www.cabi.org). It spread to Afghanistan and Iran, and was first found in 1911 in Samarkand, Uzbekistan (Data Sheets on Quarantine Pests). The present distribution of this species includes Afghanistan, India (Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir), Iran, Japan, South Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan (Data Sheets on Quarantine Pests; Farashiani et al 2001; Danylevsky and Smetana 2010; Khan et al 2013; Mazaheri et al 2015; Kamran et al 2017; CAPS 2020; CABI 2022; EPPO 2022; Hayat 2022; GBIF 2023; Hayat et al 2023). The food plants of the larvae of the city longhorn beetle are walnut (Juglans spp.), apple (Malus spp.), pear (Pyrus spp.), cherry and other stone fruit trees (Prunus spp.), plane trees (Platanus spp.), poplar (Populus spp.), willow (Salix spp.), elm (Ulmus spp.), locust (Robinia spp.), silverberry (Elaeagnus spp.), alder (Alnus spp.), hazelnut (Corylus spp.), quince (Cydonia spp.), mulberry (Morus spp.), maple (Acer spp.), ash (Fraxinus spp.), birch (Betula spp.), pecan (Carya spp.), chestnut (Castanea spp.), buckeye (Aesculus spp.), honey locust (Gleditsia sp.) and oak (Quercus spp.). The species can attack both healthy and stressed trees. Damage is greater where trees grow in difficult conditions (limited watering, proximity to roads, urban plantings, etc.) and are therefore less resistant to pests. Several generations of the beetles can develop on one tree for many years in a row before it dies. Young trees with thin bark are more susceptible to the pest. Larval development takes place over two years. The species can be found in mountains with altitudes up to 2,000 m (6,562 ft). Due to its polyphagous nature, the beetle is a dangerous pest of gardening and forestry. Aeolesthes sarta can spread at various life stages in unprocessed commercial wood, in wood products (packaging, fasteners, etc.), and with tree seedlings. Adults can also be carried on various surfaces and very rarely by active flight. The species is included in the list of particularly dangerous invasive pests of the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (Data Sheets on Quarantine Pests; Kostin 1973; Farashiani et al 2001; EPPO 2005; Temreshev and Kazenas 2015; Khan et al 2013; Mazaheri et al 2015; Kadyrov et al 2016; Kamran et al 2017; CAPS 2020; CABI 2022; EPPO 2022; Hayat 2022; Hayat et al 2023a, 2023b).

Materials and methods

The material was collected by manual method from 2015 to 2023 in South and West Kazakhstan, Turkistan, Jambyl and Mangystau Oblasts. Standard techniques (Fasulati 1971) used in entomology were used during the collection of the material. The following sources (Kostin 1973; EPPO 2005; Temreshev and Kazenas 2015; Danylevsky and Smetana 2010; Khan et al 2013; Mazaheri et al 2015; Kadyrov et al 2016; Kamran et al 2017; CAPS 2020; CABI 2022; EPPO 2022; Hayat 2022; GBIF 2023; Hayat et al 2023a, 2023b) were used for species determination of the beetles, clarification of their taxonomic position, biology and the distribution. Studied specimens are kept in the private collection of I.I. Temreshev (Almaty, Kazakhstan), with the exception of specimens (L. Abdurasulova collected), kept in the collection of Karatau state natural reserve, and specimens, collected by A.M. Makezhanov in Kentau city.

Photographs of Aeolesthes sarta and their habitat were taken with a camera Redmi 7 by author (Figs. 1, 2A, B, 3), with the exception of Figs. 2C, foto by A.M. Makezhanov. Descriptions and body measuring were performed using a Micromed MC var 1-C dissecting stereomicroscope.

For convenience as well as some geographical and administrative terms: KO– Kyzylorda Oblast, MO - Mangystau Oblast, JO – Jambyl Oblast, TО – Turkistan Oblast, KCA - Kentau city, d. – district, ex. – exemplar, mt. – mounts, nei. – neighborhoods, v. – village.

Result

As a result of the research, distribution of the city longhorn beetle has been clarified in Kazakhstan, and the list of trees on which they are found is clarified.

The species composition of trees damaged by the city longhorn beetle in Kazakhstan was identified. The most populated trees were black poplar Populus nigra and silver poplar P. alba, silverberry Elaeagnus angustifolia and Siberian elm U. pumila, the least populated were Sogdiana ash Fraxinus sogdiana, honey locust Gleditsia triacanthos and ashleaf maple Acer negundo (Figs 3, 4).

The finds of A. sarta from Mangystau oblast of West Kazakhstan are currently the northernmost and westernmost localities for this species and new record for Central Asia. The finds of a species in the Kyzylorda oblast (Zhanakorgan, Baikenge and Shieli village) speaks of its gradual penetration into the south and west of the country. The finds of a city longhorn beetle in the city of Taraz speaks of its gradual penetration into the southeast of the country (Figs 5, 6).

Conclusion

Findings of Aeolesthes sarta in Zhambyl, Kyzylorda and Mangystau Oblasts of Republic of Kazakhstan show that the species is actively spreading throughout the country. At the same time, settlement occurs both in the eastern and western directions. Several factors contribute to the spread of the species. The first is the ongoing climate changes, which allow the species to gain a foothold in new places. This can also be seen in other insects that are external and internal invaders in Kazakhstan, for example various seed beetles Acanthoscelides pallidipennis (Motschulsky, 1874), Callosobruchus phaseoli (Gyllenhal, 1833), Megabruchidius dorsalis Fahreus, 1839, and some other stock pests, Asian giant mantes Hierodula tenuidentata Saussure, 1869, Oriental hornet Vespa orientalis Linnaeus, 1761, Polistes wattii Cameron, 1900, etc. (Temreshev 2016a, 2016b, 2017a, 2017, 2023b; Temreshev and Makezhanov 2019; Temreshev and Kazenas 2020). The second is the increased volume of transportation of agricultural products, tree seedlings, timber, etc. within the country, together with which it is possible to penetrate into other areas of the country from already populated. Various stem pests can be an example here (Acanthocinus griseus (Fabricius, 1793), Rhagium inquisitor (Linnaeus, 1758), Ips sexdentatus (I.C.H. Boerner, 1776), Dryocoetes autographus Eichhoff, 1864, Sirex noctilio Fabricius, 1773, Sirex juvencus (Linnaeus, 1758)), ant-lovings crickets Myrmecophilus acervorum (Panzer, 1799) and M. crenatus Gorochov, 1986, etc. (Ismuhambetov 1964; Temreshev 2015, 2017b, 2023; Kazenas and Temreshev 2016; Kazenas et al. 2016). Thirdly, in already known places of distribution of the pest, targeted control is not carried out. Currently, most of the forest belts and urban plantings of deciduous trees in the Turkistan oblast are damaged by the city longhorn beetle. Damage is often caused together with another dangerous stem pest - the goat moth Cossus cossus (Linnaeus, 1758), which aggravates the condition of trees and accelerates their death. About 80% of trees in such plantings need urgent treatment against the pest. However, no protective measures are taken except for private fruit growing farms. In Zhambyl, Kyzylorda and Mangystau Oblasts, where the species entered relatively recently, the situation is not so critical. However, careful monitoring of tree plantations and control of the number and distribution of Aeolesthes sarta is required within the framework of a separate scientific project. Monitoring invasive forest insects is important for their control (Ismuhambetov 1964; Kazenas et al 2016; Lakatos et al. 2023). Since the species is a dangerous invasive polyphagous pest, in the event of further uncontrolled spread and reproduction of the longhorned beetle on the territory of Kazakhstan, the damage from it will be very large.
