Aristobia reticulator is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is known from Bhutan, Myanmar, India , China , Laos, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Vietnam. It feeds on Prunus persica, Liquidambar formosana, Quercus acutissima, Prunus salicina, and Nephelium mutabile.[1] Many references list the name as Aristobia testudo,[2] but this name, though published earlier, is unavailable under the ICZN,[3][4] primarily in that Johann Eusebius Voet's 1778 work giving the name testudo fails to fulfill the requirement in ICZN Article 11.4 that a work must be consistently binomial; none of Voet's 1778 names, including testudo, are available.[5]
Description
This species has a black body with yellow spots, and black tufts on the basal antennomeres, similar to the related species Aristobia approximator; however, A. approximator has tufts only on the 3rd antennal segment, while A. reticulator has tufts on segments 3, 4, and sometimes 5.[4]
