Sa Mardini, Torre Grande, 09170 Oristano, Italy Corresponding Author: Elisa Serra, [email protected] Bazzato E., Marignani M., Ancona C., Caria M., Cillo D., Serra E. - First record of Ozognathus cornutus (LeConte, 1859) (Coleoptera Ptinidae) from Sardinia, Italy. Ozognathus cornutus (LeConte, 1859) is recorded on the invasive alien tree Robinia pseudocacia L. (Fabaceae) in an urban area in Italy. The species has already been reported in two other Italian regions, but this is the first record for the Sardinian fauna. Due to the great adaptability of this alien species and the increasingly cosmopolitan trend, we suggest monitoring it with caution for early detection and to plan an appropriate rapid management response. KEY WORDS: Bostrichoidea, Ernobiinae, Alien species, Robinia pseudoacacia . INTRODUCTION MATERIALS AND METHODS The genus Ozognathus LeConte, 1861 (Bostrichoidea, STUDY AREA Ptinidae, Ernobiinae) currently includes twelve Sardinia, one Mediterranean hotspot for biodiversity described species from the Nearctic and Neotropical conservation (MARIGNANI et al., 2017a, b; MÉDAIL, regions (ZAHRADNÍK & MIFSUD, 2005). 2017), located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, Among these, Ozognathus cornutus (LeConte, 1859) is the second-largest Mediterranean island, after Sicily, was described in California (USA) (LECONTE, 1859, as covering a surface area of around 24,000 km2 (PALUMBO Anobium cornutum); its type specimen is deposited in et al., 2020).

Management Plan for White Weeping Brooms Outcome • Maintain the integrity of native vegetation by minimising invasion and impacts of white weeping broom, and preventing further spread. Objectives • Identification of the full extent of white weeping broom infestations in the active control areas. • High priority infestations of white weeping broom in the control areas controlled. • Increase awareness about the impacts of white weeping broom • No further spread of white weeping broom to currently uninfested areas. Best Practice Implementation • All regional landscape boards and Green Adelaide to enforce the prohibition on sale of white weeping broom. • Regional landscape boards in the active control areas to inspect, map and monitor infestations of white weeping broom in coastal and native vegetation. • Regional landscape boards in the active control areas to ensure high priority infestations on private or public land are controlled.

  • Two New Ernobius Species from Cyprus (Coleoptera: Bostrichoidea: Ptinidae)
    Studies and Reports Taxonomical Series 9 (2): 583-590, 2013 Two new Ernobius species from Cyprus (Coleoptera: Bostrichoidea: Ptinidae) Petr ZAHRADNÍK Department of Forest Protection and Entomology, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences, Kamýcká 1176, CZ-165 21, Prague 6 - Suchdol, Czech Republic e-mail: [email protected] Taxonomy, new species, Coleoptera, Ptinidae, Ernobius, Cyprus, Palaearctic Region Abstract. Ptinidae are represented by 55 species in Cyprus, from which are four Ernobius species - Ernobius cupressi Chobaut, 1899, E. madoni Pic, 1930 (endemic to Cyprus), E. oertzeni Schilsky, 1900 and E. pini pini (Sturm, 1837). Two new species from genus Ernobius C. G. Thomson, 1859 are described here: E. benedikti sp. nov. and E. cyprogenius sp. nov. INTRODUCTION The Ptinid fauna of Cyprus has still insufficiently been explored. Lists of Ptinidae of Cyprus contain total of 55 species (Borowski 2007; Zahradník 2007), but findings of other Mediterranean species are more than probable (including findings of species new to science). The biggest part of Ptinidae of Cyprus constitutes subfamily Ptininae (21 species), followed by subfamilies Xyletininae (11 species), Anobiinae (7 species), Dorcatominae (6 species), Ernobiinae (5 species), Gibbinae and Dryophilinae (both 2 species) and Eucradinae (1 species). Only one endemic species is known from Cyprus - Ernobius madoni Pic, 1930. Genus Ernobius Thomson, 1859 has been represented in the Holarctic Region by about 80 species divided into 6 species groups (Johnson 1975). A few species were introduced into other regions, too. In the Palaearctic Region, it is represented by 50 species. There are 4 species know from Cyprus, 3 species are also known from Greece and Turkey.
