Tetropium gracilicorne occurs in European Russia


Tetropium gracilicorne (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae – EPPO A2 List) is native in Siberia and the Far East. The species was recorded in Central European Russia: in the Udmurtia Republic in 2003, as well as in the Moscow region in 2005 near Lishnjagi (Serebrjannye Prudy district - southmost area of Moscow region) in a planted Larix forest. It may be noted that Larix does not occur naturally in the Moscow region, and is not an abundant species in forests in Udmurtia. Danilevsky (2019) also considers that the records of T. gabrieli for the North-East of European Russia (Pechora river valley) in the Komi Republic should be attributed to T. gracilicorne.

The situation of Tetropium gracilicorne in Russia can be described as follows: Present, only in some areas (native in the Asian part, introduced in Central European Russia).
