EPPO Reporting Service (2015/151) : in 2015 an infestation was found on several species of Eucalyptus in a botanical garden in Surrey (Southeastern England). However, one unconfirmed photo of the beetle was taken in a garden in London in 2012.
From NPPO (2019): no official phytosanitary action has not been taken on this finding as a risk analysis (via the UK Plant Health Risk Register) concluded that it would be too difficult to eradicate if found outdoors. However statutory action may be taken for imports and nurseries.
