Comments
EPPO Reporting Service (2018/024) : 1 specimen caught in the port of Kalmar (a ‘timber-port’ in the county of Småland). It is recalled that a single specimen had been caught in Småland in 1996. These isolated findings are not sufficient to consider that X. germanus is established in Sweden.
