摘要: Baraeus orientalis Aurivillius, 1907 is classified within the family Cerambycidae(Lamiinae: Niphonini). It is found along the East to West coasts of Mid-Africa and has been recorded in Cameroon, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Somalia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe(Teocchi, 1997; Adlbauer, 2000, 2001; Tavakilian & Chevillotte, 2023). The type locality of B. orientalis is Kigonsera village in Tanzania. Its host plant has remained unknown until the present discovery. Adenia globosa Engler, 1891, a succulent plant belonging to the family Passifloraceae, is renowned for its medicinal properties and aesthetic value. The interception of B. orientalis on A. globosa represents a novel finding.
