The present finding is the first record of the species in Lombardy. Notes Ambrosiophilus atratus is a highly polyphagous species, capable of developing in both hardwoods and conifers ( Ruzzier et al. 2023 ). Recent observations, coupled with the lack of damage attributable to the species, however, seem to suggest that A. atratus might have a negligible phytosanitary value, preferring severely debilitated or already dead plants as reproductive substrate ( Ranger et al. 2010 , Reed et al. 2015 , Ruzzier et al. 2022a ).
