Biological invasions are one of the main threats to forest health. Although Arhopalus rusticus and Arhopalus syriacus (Cerambycidae) are alien species in South America, the ecology of these invasive species is not well studied. Here, we examined the effect of the female size on potential fecundity, size and number of mature eggs in ovaries, in both insect species. We also compared egg morphometric characteristics, larval measurements, larval development and survival between these two species. We found a positive relationship between the female size and the number of eggs in their ovaries but no relationship between the female size and egg morphometric characteristics in each of these two species. The females of A. rusticus were significantly larger and had bigger eggs than those of A. syriacus, but no significant difference was observed in the number of eggs between them. Larval body length and head capsule exuviae width were larger in A. rusticus than in A. syriacus. Arhopalus rusticus had the highest larval survival rate, but A. syriacus had the shortest larval period. Thus, female and egg size, as well as larval size and survivorship are competitive advantages to A. rusticus. However, A. syriacus has a similar number of eggs to A. rusticus and faster larval development; these could be key features to explain the coexistence of these two species.

Las invasiones biológicas son una de las principales amenazas para la salud de los bosques. Aunque Arhopalus rusticus y Arhopalus syriacus (Cerambycidae) son especies exóticas en América del Sur, la ecología de estas especies invasoras no está bien estudiada. En este estudio examinamos el efecto del tamaño de la hembra sobre la fecundidad potencial, tamaño y número de huevos maduros en ovarios en ambos insectos plaga. Asimismo, se compararon las características morfométricas del huevo, medidas de las larvas, y el desarrollo y la supervivencia larval entre ambas especies. Se observó una relación positiva entre el tamaño de la hembra y el número de huevos en sus ovarios, pero no así una relación entre el tamaño de la hembra y las características morfométricas de los huevos. Las hembras de A. rusticus fueron más grandes y tuvieron huevos más grandes que A. syriacus, pero no se observó una diferencia significativa en el número de huevos. La longitud de la larva y el ancho de la cápsula encefálica fueron mayores en A. rusticus. Arhopalus rusticus tuvo la tasa de supervivencia larval más alta, pero A. syriacus tuvo el período larval más corto. Concluimos que el tamaño de las hembras y los huevos, así como el tamaño de las larvas y la supervivencia son ventajas competitivas para A. rusticus. Sin embargo, A. syriacus tiene un número similar de huevos al de A. rusticus aunque un desarrollo larval más rápido, características que podrían ser clave para explicar la coexistencia de estas dos especies.
