The Panel on Plant health performed a pest categorisation of the Australian Eucalyptus snout-beetle
Gonipterus scutellatus
(Coleoptera: Curculionidae), for the EU.
G. scutellatus
should be referred as the
G. scutellatus
species complex because it includes several cryptic species. A complete nomenclature of
the species present in the EU is still pending. It is a quarantine pest listed in Annex IIB of Council
Directive 2000/29/EC. Protected zones are in place in Greece and Portugal (Azores). In the EU, it has
been found in Italy, France, Spain and Portugal. It only consumes Eucalyptus species leaves. The main
pathways of spread are the trade of Eucalyptus timber, hitchhiking in various commodities, trade of
apple fruit as well as of plants for planting or plant parts. Spread by
fl
ight is also possible. The climate
of the EU protected zones is similar to that of the Member States (MS) where the
G. scutellatus
complex is established, and the pest
’
s main host plants are present. The damaged trees suffer
die-back and the development of epicormics shoots. Severe attacks may provoke massive amounts of
tree death. Biological control by using the egg parasitoid wasp
Anaphes nitens
is the most effective
control measure. Some species within the
G. scutellatus
complex are not yet present in the EU
(including
G. scutellatus
sensu stricto) and might therefore be considered as potential union
quarantine pests for the EU territory. At least two species within the
G. scutellatus
complex (most likely
G. platensis
and
Gonipterus
species no. 2) meet the criteria assessed by EFSA for consideration as
potential protected zone quarantine pests for the territory of the protected zones: Greece and Portugal
(Azores). The criteria for considering the
G. scutellatus
complex as a potential regulated non-
quarantine pest for the EU are not met since plants for planting are not the main pathway. [-]
