本文首次报道了在麻风树上发现一种新的天牛--红头天牛（Cerambycorus rugiceps Gahan）。（Malpighiales：Euphorbiaceae），产于印度，对根造成广泛损害。三年生及以上的植株易受此虫侵害。在2005年开始的一项为期六年的研究中，在一个16.25英亩的核桃种植园中，大约11.3%的植物受到了A。红头菌生活阶段A.本书描述了红头类的卵、幼虫、蛹和成虫，并对它们的生境、生物学和行为作了说明。本文还讨论了防治该虫的对策。
Longicorn beetle, Acanthophorus rugiceps Gahan (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), is reported for the first time as a confirmed host on physic nut, Jatropha curcas L. (Malpighiales: Euphorbiaceae), from India, causing extensive damage to roots. Plants of three years age and above were prone to attack by this pest. In a six year study beginning in 2005, about 11.3 percent of plants in a 16.25 acre physic nut plantation were severely damaged by A. rugiceps. Life stages of A. rugiceps, including egg, larvae, pupae, and adult, are described with a note on their habitat, biology, and behavior. Strategies to manage this pest on physic nut are discussed.
