Comments.
The adventive
Xyleborinus attenuatus
(Blandford) was first reported from North America by
Mudge et al. (2001)
from the northwestern USA, followed by reports from BC, the northeastern USA, PE, NS, and QC (
Douglas et al. 2013
). This species is now widespread and locally abundant in NB (numerous individuals captured in Lindgren funnel traps at Odell Park during 2014 and 2015; only a few were vouchered). All specimens from NB were captured in Lindgren funnel traps, about half in the canopy of trees.
