“…The fact that some of the eucalyptus pests studied here have dispersed beyond their natural distribution in the past few decades indicates the potential of these species to invade new regions. For example, a large portion of the Brazilian territory was predicted as suitable for E. maideni and S. anale , and these species are invasive in several countries, including the US, 46 France, 47 Germany, Belgium, Great Britain, 48 and Iran, 49 among others. Also, T. sloanei spread to countries in more than one global region, with accidental introductions reported in New Zealand, Europe, and North America 50, 51 .…”

BACKGROUND: Brazil is among the world's largest producers of eucalyptus and the damage caused by native and invasive insect pests is one of the main factors affecting eucalyptus yield. The recent history of biological invasions of eucalyptus pests in Brazil prompts demand for phytosanitary measures to prevent new invasions. This study used ecological niche models to estimate suitable areas for nine eucalyptus pests. This information was used to assess the potential ports of entry, generate invasion risk maps considering the likelihood of introducing invasive species, and estimate the eucalyptus producing municipalities and areas within the species' suitable range.RESULTS: A large distribution range was predicted for Eucalyptolyma maideni (Hempitera: Aphalaridae), Orgya postica (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), Sinoxylon anale (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), and Trachymela sloanei (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Brazil, while a comparatively smaller distribution was predicted for Ophelimus maskelli (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), Mnesampela privata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), Paropsis atomaria (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), Paropsisterna beata, and P. cloelia (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). High-risk areas of invasion near airports and seaports were predicted mainly in southern, southeastern, and northeastern Brazil. A large proportion of the municipalities (24.4% to 93.7%) and areas with eucalyptus plantations (31.9% to 98.3%) are within the climatically suitable areas estimated for the pests, especially in southern and southeastern regions, which comprises 61.5% of the Brazilian eucalyptus production. CONCLUSION:The results indicate that eucalyptus forestry may be significantly impacted by biological invasion. The findings provided by our study can assist decision-makers in developing phytosanitary measures to prevent new invasions of forest pests in Brazil.

“…The distribution pattern of the species is expressed also by a chorotype, following Vi gna Taglianti et al (1999). The conservation status of this species in Italy was evaluated according to IUCN (2014 Lesne 1903Lesne , 1909Sainte-Claire Deville 1910;Lundberg 1995;Köhler & Klausnitzer 1998;Nardi 2004;Borowski 2007;Brustel et al 2013;Müller et al 2013;Brustel 2014;Brustel & Aberlenc 2014;Ranius et al 2014;Audisio et al 2015;Liu et al 2016). According to Borowski & Węgrzynowicz (2007), this species may be introduced with timber into various regions of the world, but it needs of low temperature for its development, so its acclimatization in warm countries is improbable.…”

“…According to Borowski & Węgrzynowicz (2007), this species may be introduced with timber into various regions of the world, but it needs of low temperature for its development, so its acclimatization in warm countries is improbable. Johansson et al 2011;Borowski & Węgrzynowicz 2012;Brustel et al 2013;Ranius et al 2014;Liu et al 2016). The larvae of the Stephanopachys species are specialized feeders on gymnosperms (Liu et al 2008); nevertheless, those of S. linearis may exceptionally feed also in old Quercus wood (Koch 1992).…”

Three old specimens of Stephanopachys linearis (Kugelann, 1792) from NE Italy, Udine Province (Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region) are recorded. This is the first certain record of this species for Italy since the only previous records, from South Tyrol, were doubtful. This new record is of high conservation value, since this species is protected by the Habitats Directive in the European Union. Distributional and biological data on S. linearis are summarized and it is documented that the previous, doubtful literature records from South Tyrol are erroneous.

We review the three species currently placed in the genus Xylopertha Guérin-Méneville, 1845, and describe a new species, Xylopertha elegans sp. nov., from Turkey. We propose the following new synonymy: Xylopertha Guérin-Méneville, 1845 (= Paraxylogenes Damoiseau, 1968); Xylopertha reflexicauda (Lesne, 1937) (= Paraxylogenes pistaciae Damoiseau, 1968). We give details of the sexual dimorphism, and summarise information on the distribution and biology of all species. A key to the species of Xylopertha is provided.
