Abstract
INTRODUCTION
A native to tropical and subtropical east Asia, the granulate ambrosia beetle ( Xylosandrus crassiusculus ))(Fig 1 a small (up to 3 mm) polyphagous multivoltine invasive ambrosia beetle, has invaded numerous regions and countries including North, Central and South America, Europe, some Pacific Islands and Australia 1 2 This species poses a significant threat to New Zealand, due to its large host range 200 tree and shrub species over 60 families) and the potential significant impacts of physical damage as a boring insect and/or the pathogenic effects of its associated fungus 3 First detected in Kumeū Auckland in 2019 other locations were identified in Blockhouse Bay, Riverhead and Titirangi The evidence of beetle activity at the single Kumeū property had previously been attributed to the death of several trees including a red oak Quercus sp a gingko (Gingko biloba) and a horoeka/lancewood Pseudopanax crassifolius
