          Abstract

          Observations on biology and damage caused by bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytidae) associated with Pinus brutia and Cupressus sempervirens, two conifers indigenous to northern Cyprus, done between December 2000 and August 2003 are reported. Insect life stages, breeding galleries and/ or damage caused by six species were detected: Orthotomicus erosus (Wollaston), Pityogenes calcaratus (Eichoff), P. pennidens (Reitter), Tomicus destruens (Wollaston) and T. minor (Hartig) on Pinus brutia and Phloeosinus armatus Reitter on Cupressus sempervirens. The most damaging species detected was Tomicus destruens, which was killing pines in groups of up to 30 trees. Other species typically killed single trees, small groups of 2-3 trees or confined their attacks to recently downed trees or storm-damaged material. Data are reported on the occurrence and behavior of each species detected.

          Neste trabalho apresentam-se os resultados de observações efetuadas entre Dezembro de 2000 e Agosto de 2003 acerca da biologia e danos causados por insetos sub-corticais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytidae) em Pinus brutia e Cupressus sempervirens, duas espécies de coníferas nativas no norte de Chipre. Foram detetados estádios imaturos, galerias e/ou danos causados por seis espécies de insetos: Orthotomicus erosus (Wollaston), Pityogenes calcaratus (Eichoff), P. pennidens (Reitter), Tomicus destruens (Wollaston) e T. minor (Hartig) em Pinus brutia e Phloeosinus armatus Reitter em Cupressus sempervirens. A espécie mais agressiva foi Tomicus destruens, causando a morte de pinheiros em grupos até 30 árvores. As outras espécies foram detetadas tipicamente em árvores mortas isoladas, pequenos grupos de 2-3 árvores ou em material lenhoso de cortes ou afetado por tempestades. Para cada espécie são feitas observações da sua ocorrência e comportamento biológico.
