| Summary: | 20 specimens of Calydon submetallicum were collected from "roble pellín" (Nothofagus obliqua), an introduced species in the forests of western Chubut Province (Argentina). Larval tunnels and pupal chambers of Calydon submetallicum (Blanchard) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) are described in detail following the method proposed by Di Iorio, and the pupal chamber is illustrated for the first time. A revision of the host plants and updated distribution range of the genus is presented.<br>Se obtuvieron 20 adultos de Calydon submetallicum de trozas de roble pellín (Nothofagus obliqua), especie forestal introducida en la provincia de Chubut. Las galerías larvales y las cámaras pupales de Calydon submetallicum (Blanchard) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) son descriptas en detalle según la metodología propuesta por Di Iorio, y la cámara pupal es ilustrada por primera vez. Se presenta una revisión de las plantas hospedadoras y se actualiza el rango de distribución del género. |
