It attacks a very wide range of introduced and native plants. According to Spiller and Wise (1982) and Kuschel (1990), more than 40 genera of plants are recorded as host plants of O. hirta : Acacia pycnantha, Acer sp., Albizia julibrissin, Aleurites fordii, Aristorelia serrata, Azara sp., Betula sp., Brachyglottis repanda, Cassinia leptohylla, C. retorta, Casuarina sp., Chamaecyparis sp., Citrus spp., C. limon, Coriaria sp., Cupressus sp., Cyphomandra betacea, Cytisus proliferus, Dahlia excelsa, Fraxinus sp., Freycinetia sp., Gahnia sp., Hakea salicifolia, Hedycarya sp., Hoheria sp., Idesia sp., Juglans regia, Leptospermum sp., L. scoparium, Ligustrum sp., Macropiper sp., Malus sylvestris, Melicytus sp., Muehlenbeckia sp., Olearia solandra, O. traversii, Parsonsia sp., Pittosporum sp., Populus migra cv. italica, Prunus amygdalus, P. armeniaca, P. avium, P. domestica, P. perscai, P. perscia var. nectarina, Punica sp., Pyrus communis, Quercus sp., Ribes uva­crispa, Ripogonum sp., Rosa sp., Salix caprea, Schefflera sp., Senecio renoldii, Solanum sp., Sophora sp., Tabebuia sp., Ulex europaeus, Ulmus sp., Virgilia sp., Vitex lucens and Vitis vinifera. In addition, the following are recorded as host plants of this species during the present study: Albizia lophantha, Avecinnia resinifera, Cryptomeria japonica, Macadamia tetraphylla, Nothotsgus truncata, and Solanum auriculatun . The biology of O. hirta , particularly its life cycle, has been observed or reviewed by various authors (Dumbleton 1957, Cottier 1938, Duffy 1963, Hosking 1978, Clearwater 1981, Muggleston 1992). In most parts of New Zealand, this insect requires at least 2 years to complete its life cycle. Between September and January eggs are laid singly in fresh pruning wounds, leaf and branch junctions, and cracks in the bark. The larval stage takes> 1 yr and larvae can be found all year round. Newly hatched larvae bore directly into sapwood and then into hardwood. They make tunnels in branches with a series of frass ejection holes every few inches. Before pupation occurs, the larva tears off thin pieces of wood and packs them into 2 tight plugs 1.77 cm long and 2.5 cm apart, between which it then pupates. The pupal period is 3 wk. Pupae can be found between late May and early November. Adults emerge between early September and early February with a peak occurring between October and December. More recently, Wang et al. (1998, 2002) studied the reproductive biology and rearing methods of O. hirta in the laboratory. Adults emerged from field­collected pupae lay about 50 eggs in their lifespan. Adults are active during the scotophase, involving feeding, mating and oviposition. Mean larval development time ranges from ~ 150 to almost 300 d, depending on rearing methods. Mean pupal stage ranged from 15 to 19 d. Two ichneumonid species [ Xanthocryptus novozealandicus (Dalla Torre) and Campoplex sp.] and one braconid species ( Apsicolpus hudsoni Turner) are recorded attacking larvae of this beetle (Wang & Shi 1999, 2001). Distribution (Fig. 49) This beetle occurs throughout New Zealand. Comments The species may be distinctly discriminated from other Oemona species by the pronotal disc with distinct transverse rugae; tarsal segments 2–5, apical areas of scape, femora and tibiae blackish brown. This is the most variable species in the genus Oemona . In many specimens, tarsal segment 1 may be blackish brown, and the basal ½ of the femora pale red. In some specimens the transverse rugae on the pronotal disc may become vague. : Published as part of Lu, Wen & Wang, Qiao, 2005, Newman with discussion of the taxonomic position of the Australian species, O. simplex White (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae), pp. 1-31 in Zootaxa 971 on pages 14-20, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.171301 : {"references": ["Fabricius, I.
