Abstract

Summary

Euwallacea fornicatus (Eichhoff) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an emerging invasive tree pest, but its native distribution remains incompletely known because minimal records have been published from China. We report the distribution of E. fornicatus in China from records in the National Zoological Museum of China and from our own samples, including the first family-level host records in the Actinidiaceae, Oleaceae, and Pinaceae. We also report a parasitoid of E. fornicatus from Guizhou, China, and two fungi associated with E. fornicatus: a putatively new Fusarium sp. belonging to the monophyletic Ambrosial Fusarium Clade and an anamorphic hypocrelean fungus, Sarocladium strictum.

 

Sumario

Euwallacea fornicatus (Eichhoff) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) es una plaga invasora emergente de árboles, cuya distribución nativa no es completemente conocida todavia debido a que únicamente se ha publicado un número limitado de registros en China. Reportamos la distribución de E. fornicatus en China a partir de registros recolectados en el Museo Nacional de Zoología de China y de nuestras propias muestras, los cuales incluyen los primeros registros de las familias Actinidiaceae, Oleaceae y Pinaceae. Reportamos también un parasitoide de E. fornicatus encontrado en Guizhou, China, así como dos hongos asociados con E. fornicatus: una especie de Fusarium perteneciente al monofilético clado de Fusarium ambrosial y un hongo hypocrelano anamorfico, Sarocladium strictum.
