Establishment of non-native <i>Anoplophora horsfieldii</i> (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in South Korea

Abstract The genus Anoplophora (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is among the most well-known insect genera in invasive entomology and represented by 2 noted alien species: Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky, 1854)) Citrus chinensis (Forster, 1771)). In this study, a new non-native species belonging to Anoplophora, horsfieldii (Hope, 1843), has been discovered on Jeju Island, South Korea (33°30′N, 126°30′E). Our field survey of established area potential habitats nearby identified numerous adult beetles exit holes its host, Celtis sinensis Persoon, 1805. This finding emphasizes importance continued monitoring management species, which cause significant ecological economic damage.
