Anoplophora glabripennis(ANOLGL)

Distribution details in Taiwan

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2008: Absent, invalid record
Comments
The NPPO of Taiwan (BAPHIQ) and the Taiwan Forestry Research Institute have separately conducted intensive surveys and A. glabripennis has never been found (only A. chinensis and A. albopicta have been observed). The record in the EPPO Data sheet (1999) is considered erroneous (CABI correspondance with the NPPO of Taiwan, 2008-05).
