Zusammenfassung Nachdem der Ringelbock,Oberea brevis Swed. in Indien bisher in 3 Gebieten als Schädling von 5 Kulturpflanzenarten, darunter der Sojabohne,Glycine max, bekannt war, wurden 1975 und 1976 Untersuchungen darüber durchgeführt, ob er noch weitere Pflanzenarten befällt. Als Ergebnis konnten 11 bisher nicht bekannte Wirtspflanzenarten dieses Cerambyciden nachgewiesen werden.
Notes:
Abstract Up to this time the girdle beetle,Oberea brevis has been recorded on soybean (Glycine max), beans (Lab-lab niger), cow pea (Vigna signensis), urid (Phaseolus mungo) and moong (Phaseolus radiatus) growing in the areas of Utter Prodesh, Madhya Pradesh and Jabalpur, India. The pest caused mortalities of plants up to 36.5 per cent. In 1975 and 1976 researchs were done to record the host range ofO. brevis. The infestation was ascertained by having two parallel girdles, which are made by the female beetles to reduce the moisture content of the plant and to lay the eggs between the girdles. Due to girdling on the plants, the apical parts dry and later drop off and larvae make their tunnels in the lower parts of the plants. 11 new host plants ofO. brevis were recorded.
