Anelaphus pumilus (Newman, 1840) ; Elaphidiini [new state record]

Collection methods: Blacklight (9); sugar trap (2); panel traps baited with: Ray lab blend (54), 2R*3R*- hydroxyhexanol (2), C6 ketols (1)

Larval host plants: Acer saccharum , Betula nigra , Carya , Castanea , Cornus , Diospyros virginiana , Quercus spp. , Tilia americana and Ulmus ( Monné & Nearns 2022c)

Chemical lures: Hydroxyhexanone ( Hanks et al. 2007); C6-ketol ( Millar et al. 2017). Comments: Lights and Ray lab blend-baited traps accounted for most Kentucky specimens. Attracted to lights. Specimens collected with the Ray lab blend were probably attracted to the hydroxyhexanone component.
