Oberea ulmicola
Chittenden.
New larval host
record.
This species was described by Chittenden (in
Webster 1904
) from Decatur, IL, who speculated, based on experimental data, that it is rather selective for
Ulmus
. It girdles terminal living twigs and constructs a pupal cell plugged with fibrous frass below a saddle-like girdle. JV reared one individual from a girdled sapling of
Celtis laevigata
Willd.
from TX: Denton Co., Elm Fork Trinity River. Individuals were also reared from
Ulmus
from the same locality.
