Urgleptes facetus (Say, 1826) ; Acanthocinini [new state record]

Distribution: Southern PQ to GA and AL to eastern KS to northern IL. Kentucky collections are from the eastern half of the state (mostly from the Interior Plateau ; Map 204).

Kentucky counties: Campbell (17), Fayette (1), Madison (1), Owen (1), Whitley (1)

Years: 1894 (1), 2009 (1), 2010 (1), 2012 (1), 2017 (11), 2018 (6)

Months: June (13), July (7), August (1)

Collections (16 records, 21 specimens): EGCCRC (2), JMLC (1), UKIC (1), XEUC (17)

Collection methods: Malaise trap (3); panel trap baited with: Ray lab blend (16), trichoferone (1)

Larval host plants: Acer rubrum , Amelanchier arborea , Betula nigra , Castanea dentata , Cornus florida , Crataegus crusgalli , Diospyros virginiana , Lindera benzoin , Maclura pomifera , Quercus spp. , Rhus glabra , Salix exigua and Vitis arborea ( Monné & Nearns 2022d)

Chemical lures: Mitchell et al. (2011) gathered some evidence that (E / Z)-fuscumol + acetate is an attractant, but the results were not significant. These were components of the Ray lab lure blend that caught the bulk of the Kentucky specimens.

Comments: Adults can be collected by beating twigs of dead and dying hosts ( Bousquet et al. 2017).
