BORIANI M., TADDEI A., BAZZOLI M., MICHELOTTI S. 2019. Detection and molecular analysis of three exotic auger beetles of the genus Sinoxylon DUFTSCHMID, 1825 (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) intercepted in Italy.
Three exotic bostrichid beetle species – Sinoxylon anale , S. indicum and S. sudanicum – were simultaneously detected in Italy from wood packaging material declared compliant with the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM 15) and originating from India. These taxa were identified through morphological characters and sequences of COX1 gene were obtained. This case study was analysed and the findings support the need to implement adequate wood requirements according to IPPC/FAO standards.
