Agrilus planipennis(AGRLPL)

Distribution details in Taiwan

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2018: Absent, unreliable record
From CABI Pest map 675 (2006): Present, no details
Comments
EPPO Reporting Service (2019/035) : there are only two old records, as Agrilus feretrius and A. teretrius (considered as a synonym of A. planipennis and a subspecies of A. marcopoli, respectively). In the absence of recent information, it was thus concluded that these records in Taiwan are doubtful and probably correspond to other Agrilus species.
