Host trees are: “bois doux” ( Inga ingoides (Rich.) Willd. and Inga laurina (Sw.) Willd. , with a diameter up to 20 mm), Coccoloba uvifera L., Lonchocarpus punctatus Kunth , Diospyros revoluta Poiret , Acacia spp. , Sloanea dentata L., Sloanea massoni Sw. , Citrus spp. , etc. The female of this beetle lays its eggs in a small tree branch and then girdles the branch with its mandibles until the branch drops to the forest floor. The larva develops in the fallen branch. The people of Dominica and St. Lucia commonly and mistakenly think these fallen branches are the act of the large Hercules beetle ( Dynastes hercules (L.), Scarabaeidae ), which supposedly grasps the branches between its two horns and flies in loops until the branch is cut. Touroult (2004b) has reared 15 species of other cerambycids from Inga sp. branches cut by this species. Plate 46.

The subspecies Lagocheirusaraneiformis insulorum Dillon 1957: 150 View in CoL is distributed in the southern the Lesser Antilles; Bequia, Canouan*, Dominica, Grenada, Martinique, Mayreau*, Mustique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Union*. Five other subspecies are elsewhere in the West Indies ( Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao), USA (FL), Mexico View in CoL to Panama, and northern South America View in CoL ; widespread New World. Introduced to Tahiti and Hawaii. Notes. Polyphagous on many tree genera and species, especially Bursera simaruba View in CoL (L.) Sarg., especially in xerophile zones. The emergence of adult beetles from the tree is through large, conspicuous, circular holes cut through the bark of the host tree “trap-doors”, which are sometimes still attached to the tree. The holes under the bark are feeding chambers and pupation takes place deeper in the tree. Plate 44.

Lagocheirus unicolor Fisher 1947: 38 ; Chalumeau and Touroult 2005a: 216; Dalens and Touroult 2007: 291; Touroult 2012a: 85. Distribution. Barbados; single island endemic. This has been considered a synonym of Lagocheirus araeniformis (L.) but is considered a validspecies by Chalumeau and Touroult (I have seen the types in USNM and have other specimens and agree). Notes. In Barbados it bores stems of avocado and dead or dying sugarcane .
