Abstract

Xystrocera festiva Thoms. (famili Cerambycidae, ordo Coleoptera) classified as the most harmful pest in Sengon (Falcataria moluccana) plantations in Indonesia. The larvae of the pest eat the inner bark and sapwood of the sengon tree since the tree are 3 years old. However, the chemical component(s) of the inner bark and sapwood digested were still unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify chemical components of the tree eaten by the larvae of sengon X. festiva. The materials used for the analysis were the excrement on the bark surface and inside the bark, uneaten sapwood (outher bark), uneaten bark and healthy bark. The result saw that the larvae eat cellulose, hemicellulose, protein and starch contained in the inner bark and sapwood. However in the feces from larval still found hemicellulose, cellulose and protein. This means that all materials could not be digested by the larvae of X. festiva. From the chemical analysis of wood indicated that important larval food of X. festiva was hemicellulose and cellulose.
