Observations on the biology of the Australian beetle Leperina cirrosa Pascoe (Coleoptera: Trogossitidae)
1992
Hawkeswood, T.J.
Observations are provided on the biology of Leperina cirrosa Pascoe (Trogossitidae). The larvae and/or adults have been collected by the author over the past 8 years from the dead wood of Delonix regia (Boj. ex Hook.) Raf. (Caesalpinaceae), Acacia bidwillii Benth., A. leiocalyx (Domin.) Pedley and A. sophorae (Labill.) R. Br. (Mimosaceae). There is also some evidence that the larvae of L. cirrosa are carnivorous on the larvae and pupae of other Coleoptera (and possibly Lepidoptera) co-habiting the dead Acacia wood.
