- Abstract
Artona (Fuscartona) martini Efetov, 1997 (black bamboo moth) was detected for the first time in Europe near Genova (Italy) in 2019 in a bamboo naturalized area. In this area, the exotic bamboo plants have found suitable climatic conditions for growth and outcompete other native forest species growing in fresh and humid environments such as hazel, poplar and alder. A. martini is one of the most harmful organisms associated with bamboo ornamental plants and bamboo plantations and represents their most common pest in eastern China, Taiwan, Japan (including Okinawa and Ogasawara Islands), and Vietnam. Recently it has been recorded in New Zealand and Korea. Due to the increasing agricultural and commercial interest for bamboo as an ornamental plant and as a resource for woody biomass production, the presence of this alien insect is noteworthy, representing a new possible phytosanitary problem for the European territory.
