Acalolepta vastator (fig longicorn beetle or passion vine longhorn beetle) is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Newman in 1841, originally under the genus Monohammus. Breuning erroneously synonymised this species with Acalolepta mixta (Hope, 1841). It is found throughout eastern Australia, including Tasmania and South Australia, as well as parts of South Asia. The Australian government recognize this species as a pest species. It feeds on grape vine (Vitis vinifera), papaya (Carica papaya) and curtain fig tree (Ficus virens).

  • Acalolepta vastator (fig longicorn beetle or passion vine longhorn beetle) is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Newman in 1841, originally under the genus Monohammus. Breuning erroneously synonymised this species with Acalolepta mixta (Hope, 1841). It is found throughout eastern Australia, including Tasmania and South Australia, as well as parts of South Asia. The Australian government recognize this species as a pest species. It feeds on grape vine (Vitis vinifera), papaya (Carica papaya) and curtain fig tree (Ficus virens). Acalolepta vastator is gray-brown in color, around 21mm in length and covered in short, adpressed hairs covering the body. The antennae are around 1.5 times the body length. This species has an annual life cycle; adults are visible between October and March, whilst the larvae live inside tree trunks. This species' life history has been well studied due to its pest activity, for example in the grapevines of New South Wales, Australia (see Goodwin & Pettit, 1994). This species has become such a pest to this area that uses of chemical control are being studied to manage their impact. This species is a Woodboring beetle, it can cause major damage to the vine trunk by tunneling through the trunk and into the roots, leading to die back and crop losses. (en)
  • Acalolepta vastator es una especie de escarabajo del género Acalolepta, familia Cerambycidae.​ Fue descrita científicamente por Newman en 1847.​ Se encuentra en todo el este de Australia, incluidos Tasmania y el sur de Australia, así como en partes del sur de Asia.​ El gobierno australiano reconoce esta especie como una plaga.​ Se alimenta de Vitis vinifera, Carica papaya y Ficus virens.​ Acalolepta vastator es de color marrón grisáceo, mide alrededor de 21 mm de largo y está cubierto de pelos cortos que cubren el cuerpo.​ Las antenas miden alrededor de 1,5 veces la longitud del cuerpo.​ Esta especie tiene un ciclo de vida anual; los adultos son visibles entre octubre y marzo, mientras que las larvas viven dentro de los troncos de los árboles.​ La historia de vida de esta especie ha sido bien estudiada debido a su actividad como plaga, por ejemplo, en las vides de Nueva Gales del Sur, Australia.​ Esta especie se ha convertido en una plaga tal para esta área que se están estudiando usos de control químico para manejar su impacto.​ Esta especie es un escarabajo barrenador, puede causar un daño importante al tronco de la vid al hacer un túnel a través del tronco y hacia las raíces, lo que provoca la muerte y la pérdida de cosechas.​ (es)
