A complete list of invasive alien longhorned beetles species for Turkey (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
Abstract :A total
of 9 alien longhorn beetle species have established in Turkey. The species
belong to the subfamilies Cerambycinae and Laminae which are prevalent in the
native fauna as well. The alien species mainly established during the period
1960-2016, arriving from Asia (5 species), Africa (2 species) and Australia (2
species). Turkey are by far the most invaded countries. All species have been
introduced accidentally. Wood-derived products such as wood-packaging material
and palettes and plants for planting constitute invasive pathways of increasing
importance. However, only few species have yet colonized natural habitats
outside parks and gardens. Keys for adults of the species of the genera Anoplophora and
Phoracantha that are represented
with more than one species in Turkey are also proposed
