Comments: Asian species previously unrecorded from
Portugal
. In Europe, it was first recorded from
Italy
by
DIOLI & VIGANÒ (1990)
and since then has expanded its range to several other countries. The first Iberian record was presented by
RECALDE IRURZUN & SAN MARTÍN MORENO (2015)
, from
Navarra
(northern
Spain
), and additional Spanish records were provided by
MAESTRE DEL PERAL
et al.
(2017)
. The taxonomic identity of the species established in
Italy
was questioned by
VITALI (2004)
, who attributed the records to
Xylotrechus smei
(Castelnau & Gory, 1841)
. This issue was later analysed by
SAMA (2006)
, who concluded that the original identification as
Xylotrechus stebbingi
Gahan, 1906
was correct. The specimens recorded in the present contribution were identified with the key presented by
SAMA (2006)
.
