Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), commonly known as the Asian longhorned beetle, is an invasive wood-boring pest that infests a number of hardwood species and causes considerable economic losses in North America, several countries in Europe, and in its native range in Asia. The success of eradication efforts may depend on early detection of introduced populations; however, detection has been limited to identification of tree damage (oviposition pits and exit holes), and the serendipitous collection of adults, often by members of the public. Here we describe the development, deployment, and evaluation of semiochemical-baited traps in the greater Worcester area in Massachusetts. Over 4 yr of trap evaluation (2009-2012), 1013 intercept panel traps were deployed, 876 of which were baited with three different families of lures. The families included lures exhibiting different rates of release of the male-produced A. glabripennis pheromone, lures with various combinations of plant volatiles, and lures with both the pheromone and plant volatiles combined. Overall, 45 individual beetles were captured in 40 different traps. Beetles were found only in traps with lures. In several cases, trap catches led to the more rapid discovery and management of previously unknown areas of infestation in the Worcester county regulated area. Analysis of the spatial distribution of traps and the known infested trees within the regulated area provides an estimate of the relationship between trap catch and beetle pressure exerted on the traps. Studies continue to optimize lure composition and trap placement.
光肩星天牛（Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky)）（鞘翅目：天牛科），通常被称为亚洲长角天牛，是一种入侵性蛀木害虫，侵害多种硬木树种，并在北美、欧洲的几个国家以及其亚洲原生地造成了相当大的经济损失。根除工作的成功可能取决于对引入种群的早期检测；然而，检测一直局限于识别树木损害（产卵坑和羽化孔）以及偶然收集成虫，通常是由公众成员完成。在此，我们描述了在马萨诸塞州大伍斯特地区基于信息素诱饵诱捕器的开发、部署和评估情况。在超过4年的诱捕器评估（2009 - 2012年）中，部署了1013个拦截板式诱捕器，其中876个用三种不同类型的诱饵进行了诱捕。这些类型包括展示出雄虫产生的光肩星天牛信息素不同释放速率的诱饵、含有各种植物挥发物组合的诱饵以及同时含有信息素和植物挥发物的诱饵。总体而言，在40个不同的诱捕器中捕获了45只个体甲虫。仅在带有诱饵的诱捕器中发现了甲虫。在一些情况下，诱捕器捕获结果促使在伍斯特县管制区内更快地发现和管理先前未知的虫害区域。对管制区内诱捕器的空间分布以及已知虫害树木的分析提供了诱捕器捕获量与诱捕器所受甲虫压力之间关系的估计。研究仍在继续优化诱饵成分和诱捕器放置位置。
