Özet

Xylosandrus compactus (Eichhoff), a polyphagous invasive pest native to Asia, was first detected on the European continent in Italy in 2011. It has since been recorded in five additional European countries, France, Spain, Malta, Monaco, and Greece. The present study reports for the first time the presence of the species in Turkey. As a result of our literature review, there is no record of the genera Lonicera and Crataegus as host plants of X. compactus. We identified new host plant species to X. compactus: Lonicera pileata var. yunnanensis (Franch.) Bernd Schulz and Crataegus monogyna Hayek. In addition, we determined the black twig borer on Fagus sylvatica f. pendula (Lodd.) Dippel. Laurus nobilis was the host plant infested by X. compactus at all localities but one locality.
