Abstract
In this study, we used colored fruit-baited traps for trapping cerambycid beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomeloidea: Cerambycidae) in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon, state of Rondônia, northern Brazil. Our collections revealed six new records for the state, Sphallotrichus bidens (Fabricius, 1801), Cosmoplatidius abare Napp & Martins, 2006, Chydarteres dimidiatus dimidiatus (Fabricius, 1787), Neolampedusa obliquator (Fabricius, 1801), Deltosoma fernandezi Dalens & Giuglaris, 2014, and Corimbion nigroapicatum Martins, 1970. The latter two also represent new records for Brazil. Photographs of the dorsal habitus of the six species are provided. We also provide distribution maps for D. fernandezi, previously recorded only from French Guiana, and C. nigroapicatum, previously known from Colombia and Bolivia. The use of colored fruit-baited traps for trapping Cerambycidae is briefly discussed in the light of published data and the new information provided herein.
