Abstract
Records of diseases of Cerambycidae have appeared very infrequently in the literature. Crawshay (1907) described an unidentified disease of larvae of Tetropium gabrieli Weise. Garman (1921) and MacLeod (1954a) reported a fungus, Beauveria globulifera, a strain of Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill., from adults of Cyllene robiniae (Forst.) and a larva of Acanthocinus aedilis (L.) respectively. Duffy (1953) recorded the fungi lsaria sp. on adults of Phryneta spinator (Fab.), and Entomophthora grylli on larvae of Saperda carcharias (L.). A wilt disease, suspected of being caused by a virus, was reported by Beeson (1931) in larvae of Celosterna scabrator Fab.) reared in glass tubes.Keywords
