Abstract
The subfamily Lamiinae, with global distribution, includes the genus Atrypanius (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). The objective was to register, for the first time, Atrypanius lignarius (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) as a pest in a commercial plantation of Paulownia fortunei var. mikado. Plants of Paulownia fortunei var. mikado with larvae in galleries, excavated in their stems and causing considerable injuries, were examined. These larvae were maintained, in the laboratory, and the adults emerged identified as A. lignarius. Injuries caused by this pest included yellowing and premature leaf drop. Atrypanius lignarius was identified as a pest of adult P. fortunei var. mikado plants in Santa Catarina state, Brazil. The demand for wood from this plant increases the importance of strategies to mitigate injuries caused by A. lignarius.
