The Emerald ash borer Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) invaded Belarus

Abstract

Изумрудный ясеневый буравчик Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, 1888 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) - вредное насекомое-вредитель из Восточной Азии, поражающее ясеневые деревья рода Fraxinus. За последние три десятилетия он вторгся в европейскую часть России и Украины, вызвав массовую гибель ясеневых деревьев как в городских, так и в природных экосистемах. Здесь мы сообщаем о первом появлении этого разрушительного вредителя в Беларуси, в частности в городе Гомеле. Во время рекогносцировочного обследования, проведенного в конце июня 2025 года, было обнаружено в общей сложности 46 ясеней, в том числе 39 ясеней Fraxinus pennsylvanica и 7 ясеней F. у деревьев сорта эксцельсиор наблюдались характерные симптомы заражения: отмирание кроны, эпикормовые побеги и отчетливые D-образные выходные отверстия в коре. В типичной галерее под корой была обнаружена одиночная личинка IV возраста, и было зафиксировано 13 взрослых жуков, которые спаривались и питались листвой обоих видов ясеня. Учитывая близость зараженных регионов в соседних странах, в частности, Брянска (243 км от Гомеля) и Смоленска (270 км) в России, а также Киева (220 км) на Украине, есть подозрение, что бупрестид был случайно завезен из некоторых из этих населенных пунктов, а не расширил свой ареал сам по себе. Необходимы срочные исследования, чтобы определить масштабы его распространения на территории Беларуси. Кроме того, необходимо незамедлительно принять решительные меры для подавления существующих очагов заражения и предотвращения дальнейшего распространения этого чрезвычайно агрессивного чужеродного вредителя.

The emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, 1888 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), is a harmful East Asian insect pest damaging ash trees Fraxinus spp. Over the past three decades, it has invaded European part of Russia and Ukraine, causing widespread mortality of ash trees in both urban and natural ecosystems. Here, we report first occurrence of this devastating pest in Belarus, specifically in the city of Gomel. During reconnaissance survey performed in the late June 2025, a total of 46 ash trees, including 39 Fraxinus pennsylvanica and 7 F. excelsior trees, displayed characteristic symptoms of infestation: canopy dieback, epicormic sprouting, and distinct D-shaped exit holes in the bark. A single larva of the IV instar was found within a typical gallery beneath the bark, and 13 adult beetles mating and feeding on the foliage of both ash species were recorded. Given the proximity of infested regions in neighboring countries – specifically Bryansk (243 km away from Gomel) and Smolensk (270 km) in Russia, as well as Kiev (220 km) in Ukraine – it is suspected that the buprestid was accidentally introduced from some of these localities rather than expanding its range by itself. Urgent research is required to delineate the extent of its spread within Belarus. Moreover, decisive actions must be taken promptly to suppress current infestation foci and prevent further distribution of this highly aggressive alien pest.
