USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s Identification Technology Program (ITP) is pleased to announce the release of CerambycID, a diagnostic application for identifying longhorned beetles in the family Cerambycidae. This interactive tool covers potentially invasive genera that have been intercepted in the USA, as well as conifer-feeding genera of the Northern hemisphere.
Please find the attached PDF announcement to see an overview of this latest identification tool release from ITP in support of USDA APHIS Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) and its partners. Please also feel free to forward this email or the attachment to your colleagues.
