Occurrence : recordedBy: Enrico Ruzzier ; individualCount: 1 ; sex: female ; occurrenceID: 867EB1BE-5F06-5C36-BFA3-378BF566184B ; Taxon : scientificName: Cnestus mutilatus (Blandford, 1894); family: Curculionida ; Location : country: Italy ; countryCode: IT; stateProvince: Veneto ; municipality: Borso del Grappa ; decimalLatitude: 45.815456 ; decimalLongitude: 11.769814 ; geodeticDatum: WGS84; Identification : identifiedBy: Enrico Ruzzier ; Event : eventDate: 2023-08-08 Distribution Species native to the Oriental and Eastern Palearctic Regions, established in North America ( Gomez et al. 2018 , Smith et al. 2020 ) and Italy ( Colombari et al. 2022 , Marchioro et al. 2022 ). This finding further extends the distribution range of the species. Notes Cnestus mutilatus is a somewhat polyphagous species ( Ruzzier et al. 2023b ), including plants of economic/productive relevance (e.g. Mandelshtam et al. (2019) , Ruzzier et al. (2021b) , Monterrosa et al. (2022) ), yet its host plants in Europe were not known. The specimen on which the report is based was found in a tunnel bored into a branch of an unidentified conifer (probably Abies ). This is the first observation in which C. mutilatus was found in association with a conifer; however, it is plausible that this plant might not be a reproductive host.
