Xyleborus glabratus Eichhoff, 1877 Fig. 16

Type material.

Syntype female; Japan. IRSNB.

Distribution.

Asia; North America (introduced): United States: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina.

Notes.

In the US, X. glabratus was first detected in a survey trap near Port Wentworth, Georgia in 2002 (Rabaglia et al. 2006). The ambrosia fungus vectored by this species is responsible for the death of 300 million bay trees ( Persea spp.) and other Lauraceae in the southeastern United States (Hughes et al. 2017). This species is distinguished by the dark color and the glabrous elytral disc and declivity with small granules in all interstriae decreasing in size toward apex.
