Distribution
The DNA barcode traced back the possible origin of
Amasa
sp. to Australia. This yet unnamed taxon is now present in France, Portugal and possibly Spain (see
Barnouin et al. 2020
) and it is most probably conspecific with the
Amasa
established in
Eucalyptus
plantations in Brazil, Chile, New Zealand and Uruguay, based on morphological similarity and collecting data (
Milligan 1968
,
Zondag 1977
,
Flechtmann and Cognato 2011
,
Gomez
et al. 2017
,
Kirkendall 2018
).
Notes
Portuguese
Amasa
specimens were collected in multi-funnel black traps set up at 5 m above the ground and baited with a multi-lure blend of longhorn beetle pheromones, ethanol and alpha-pinene. Traps were located on
Eucalyptus
trees or in their vicinity (Fig.
3
). French
Amasa
were collected using multi-funnel black traps baited with either (2018-2020) the 8-pheromone multi-lure blend for cerambycids (
Fan et al. 2019
) implemented with Ethanol and alpha-pinene or (2021-2022) with four compounds: ethanol, alpha-pinene, alpha-copaene and quercivorol (Fig.
4
).
Identification remarks
The COI sequences obtained from the specimens collected in Portugal (OP143861 and OP143862), and in France in 2020 and 2021, were identical (100% identity) to the
Amasa
sequence present in the BOLD System (SBGB053-03) (specimen from New South Wales (Australia) and deposited under
Scolytus
sp.) and to those from the specimens collected in 2018 and 2019 in France (
Barnouin et al. 2020
). As correctly argued by
Barnouin et al. (2020)
, the
Amasa
species recorded in Europe might belong to a single species, still undescribed (Fig.
5
).
