Typocerus gloriosus Hopping. First larval host

record.

This species occurs in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah (Linsley and Chemsak 1976). However, it was known from very few specimens until recently. RLA reared specimens from Juniperus osteosperma (Torr.) Little from UT: Kane Co., near Coral Pink Sand Dunes and Hatch. The larvae develop in dead parts, such as scars or broken branches, of living trees. The frequency of exit holes on junipers in the area suggests that it is not rare at that location. The habits are similar to those of Leptura anthracina LeConte , which develops in exposed wood of living Abies sp. (Pinaceae) (RLA, personal observation).
