First record of <i>Oncideres dejeanii</i> Thomson, 1868 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) attacking <i>Copaifera langsdorffii</i> Desf. (Kuntze) (Fabaceae) in Brazil
Copaifera langsdorffii Desf. (Kuntze) (Fabaceae) is a slow-growing tree, reaching 25 to 40 meters in height and living up to 400 years, with wide distribution in South America. The objective of this work was to report, for the first time, the occurrence of Oncideres dejeanii Thomson (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) cutting and using C. langsdorffii as a host. Adults of O. dejeanii were observed cutting, dropping, and ovipositing on tree branches and shoots of C. langsdorffii, in a gallery forest, in Diamantina, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. The plant species and the beetle have a wide geographic distribution; thus, O. dejeanii can become an important pest of this plant.
