Distribution

Species native of the Oriental Region and Eastern Palearctic ( Smith et al. 2020), introduced and widely established in Europe and North America ( Galko et al. 2018, Gomez et al. 2018). The data provided here represent the first record of the species in Portugal (Fig. 8 ). This represents the westernmost location in Europe.

Notes

All specimens were collected using black multi-funnel traps set up at 5 m above the ground and baited with a multi-lure blend of longhorn beetle pheromones ( Fan et al. 2019), ethanol and alpha-pinene.

Hosts

Extremely polyphagous species, with hundreds of host plants recorded. The most represented families are: Anacardiaceae (11 species), Betulaceae (17 species), Fabaceae (7 species), Fagaceae (26 species), Juglandaceae (9 species), Lauraceae (18 species), Rosaceae (20 species), Sapindaceae (15 species) and Ulmaceae (7 species) ( Murayama 1953, Weber and McPherson 1983, Dole and Cognato 2010).
