Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2020: Absent, unreliable record
Comments
In the abstract of the paper from Rusetskaya & Baldanova, Dendrolimus superans is mentioned as a pest of forest stands in the Irkutsk region (no indication on how the species was identified). However, this would need to be confirmed as in their review, Kononov et al. (2016) did not consider that D. superans was present outside the Russian Far East.
