There are the third and fourth reports in France and only the second in Corsica, where the species is perhaps naturalized, having been collected in 2023 in the fungus Inonotus dryadeus in a cork grove in Zonza, Sainte- Lucie-de-Porto-Vecchio (Vincent et al., 2023) and having also been found in southern Sardinia under the bark of Eucalyptus camaldulensis (Cillo &amp; Bazzato, 2011) .</p><p>Status in France. – Possibly established in Corsica; only intercepted in mainland France.</p><p>Geographical distribution. – Native to the tropical areas of the Old World, this species occupies a large part of Asia and the Oriental, Australian and Afrotropical regions. It is also reported from Algeria, Egypt, and Yemen, and has even been introduced to the United States, Central America and some Caribbean islands (Dajoz, 1977; Mifsud et al., 2020; Schuh, 2020). Hence, we can now consider it as a cosmopolitan. In Europe, it was only known from the ports of Venice (Italy) and La Rochelle (France), Corsica, Sardinia and Malta, as well as the extreme south of Spain, between Almería and Málaga (Mifsud et al., 2020; Vincent et al., 2023).</p><p>Remarks. – The species is found under the bark of dead trees and in fungi where it would be predatory. It does not present any economic risks but a competition with native saproxylophagous relatives may occur.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BC87D71C755573FC395354FB72F991	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species, as well as a fairly wide range of other saproxylic beetles, could very occasionally carry the pathogenic fungus Geosmithia morbida, cause of thousand cankers disease on Black Walnut (Moore et al., 2019). However, according to these latter authors, only Pityophthorus juglandis Blackman, 1928 ( Coleoptera, Scolytinae) is currently able of inoculating the disease. Further investigations must be carried out to prove that other potentially carrier species can really play the role of vectors. Consequently, D. americanus does not normally present any economic risk. However, a competition with native saproxylophagous relatives may occur, in particular with its Palearctic vicariant D. corticalis (Paykull, 1792), with which it was collected in the forest of La Teste.</p><p>We can easily separate Dryophthorus americanus from the European species D. corticalis with the following key:</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BC87D71C755571FCC5575EFD32FC99	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Indeed, it is mainly found on the first dunes and the tops of the beaches, and not behind the dunes (Leo &amp; Fancello, 2019). One of the authors (FS) also observed it several times, at night, in the coastal dunes with Ammophila arenaria of southern Portugal, moving on the sand in search of plant remnants on which it feeds. The individual observed at Lacanau is either the result of an accidental introduction, e.g. by tourists, of which there are many in this seaside resort, by horticultural or ecological engineering plantations, or a shipwreck coming from Galicia, for example, and transported by sea currents. It would be interesting to check in the future whether this species could not settle locally on a portion of the Gironde coastline.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BC87D71C79557FFF5951DCFE0FFBDA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Since its first finding in Mions (Rhône), on January 29, 2014, by the SRAL Rhône-Alpes in pallet wood coming from Indonesia (Brustel &amp; Aberlenc, 2014) , this species is now regularly intercepted in France.</p><p>Status in France. – Only intercepted.</p><p>Geographical distribution. – Native to tropical and subtropical areas of Asia, it was introduced to Europe in France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Malta, Poland, Russia, Spain, Switzerland and Ukraine (Borowski, 2007; Brustel &amp; Aberlenc, 2014; Chittaro &amp; Sanchez, 2019; Lykidis et al., 2016; Nardi &amp; Mifsud, 2015; Ruzzier et al., 2023; Savoldelli &amp; Regalin, 2009) where it does not seem to have established. It was also introduced in tropical and subtropical areas of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas where it appears established (Wilstermann &amp; Schrader, 2019). It is also considered introduced to Japan (Iwata &amp; Nakano, 2006). In that respect, this species has become cosmopolitan.</p><p>Remarks. – This species presents a low phytosanitary risk in Europe where it does not yet appear to have been established. However, in Ukraine and Moldova it is on the list of quarantine pests (Wilstermann &amp; Schrader, 2019). In Italy, it was able to do its complete cycle in buildings and cause notable damage to all the pallet wood stocked (Savoldelli &amp; Regalin, 2009). It is polyphagous and infests the sap wood of dry dead/felled trees including wooden packaging. Due to its low damage potential for living plants, S. unidentatum does not pose any phytosanitary risk for EU Member States (Wilstermann &amp; Schrader, 2019). This species is mainly introduced into Europe with packaging, pallet, or construction wood. If the damage does not concern living trees, it can sometimes be significant on timber and wooden objects, sometimes cultural (Lykidis et al., 2016).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BC87D71C79557FFF1E5563FB72FDD1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
