Abstract

The distribution of the alien longhorn beetle Trichoferus campestris in Europe is analyzed based on new and published data. A literature review revealed that the number of records of this species has increased during recent years. According to the geographic range of these records and their temporal distribution, the species might be already established in several European countries and is quickly spreading west. It is also confirmed in Romania based on specimens collected in different localities from the extra-Carpathian area and on the correction of a previously published misidentification. Phytosanitary interceptions of Trichoferus campestris in France and recently in Sweden (Lidhult, Halland region) have prevented its introduction and possible establishment in these countries.
