Xylotrechus stebbingi Gahan, 1906

Material examined: AVEIRO: Santa Maria da Feira: Pereira - Argoncilhe (29 TNF3941 ), 23-06- 2018, 1 specimen, MHNC-UP collection (MHNCUP/ART/37627) . PORTO: Vila Nova de Gaia : Parque das Tílias - Seixezelo (29 TNF3742 ), 15-07-2018, 1 specimen .

Comments: Asian species previously unrecorded from Portugal. In Europe, it was first recorded from Italy by DIOLI & VIGANÒ (1990) and since then has expanded its range to several other countries. The first Iberian record was presented by RECALDE IRURZUN & SAN MARTÍN MORENO (2015), from Navarra (northern Spain), and additional Spanish records were provided by MAESTRE DEL PERAL et al. (2017). The taxonomic identity of the species established in Italy was questioned by VITALI (2004), who attributed the records to Xylotrechus smei (Castelnau & Gory, 1841) . This issue was later analysed by SAMA (2006), who concluded that the original identification as Xylotrechus stebbingi Gahan, 1906 was correct. The specimens recorded in the present contribution were identified with the key presented by SAMA (2006).
