Abstract.
Biological and distributional notes are provided on ten species of longicorn beetles (Coleoptera:
Cerambycidae) from Papua New Guinea based on observations and collections by the first author in 1989. New
larval host plant records are presented for Dihammus fasciatusfasciatus (Montrouzier), Parapepeotes togatus
(Perroud), Platycranium pustulosum (Pascoe) (viz. Ficus spec., Moraceae) and Chlorophoms austerus
(Chevrolat), Dihammus australis (Boisduval) and Eczemotes granulosus (Gukrin-Meneville) [viz. Hevea
brasiliensis (Willd. ex A. Juss.) Muell. Arg., Euphorbiaceae]. Both plant species have nutritious sweet sap in
their stems and branches which act as beetle attractants. Other observations and distributional notes are pro-
vided for Archetypusfiilvipennis (Pascoe), Xylotrechus sp. near X. buqueti (Laporte & Gory), Oxymagis horni
(Heller) and Trigonoptera spilonota spilonota (Gestro). Brief comments are also made on Olethrius tyrannus
Thornson and Xixuthms microcerus axis Thomson.
