Abstract

The buprestid Melanophila formaneki (Jakobson) (= Phaenops aerea Formanek) is reported for the first time from Finland. The beetles (5 adults and 32 larvae) were reared from three stems of recently dead approx. 4-m-high Scots pines (Pinus sylvestris L.). The pines had been cut in a heavily polluted industrial arca at Harjavalta, southwestern Finland, in 1989. A specimen collected in 1929 from Sakkola, on the Karelian Isthmus, was redetermined in museum material. M.formaneki is compared with M. cyanea, and the la¡va is described.
