First record of ambrosiophilus atratus (Eichhoff 1875) Feeding on Oak (Quercus L.) in North America
Ambrosiophilus atratus (Eichhoff 1875) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) are ambrosia beetles native to southeast China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan and are adventive in North America. They were first found in 1988 in five states (Atkinson et al 1990) and are now present throughout the eastern United States and Canada from Ontario and Nova Scotia, south to Florida, west through Michigan, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Ambrosiophilus atratus is highly polyphagous and recorded from oaks in Asia, so finding it in a North American oak is unsurprising. Nevertheless, this represents the first record of A. atratus colonizing Quercus in North America.
