Introduction
A timber pest species, Nathrius brevipennis adults were detected at three separate trap sites over three successive summers (2019–2022), suggesting that a localized population is established. Earlier records of this species from the 1920s in Melbourne and Adelaide also exist, misidentified as Molorchus sp. The species is highly polyphagous, feeding on dead and dying twigs and branches of a wide variety of trees, shrubs and conifers, see Broadley et al. (2023) for details.
