AC212E54FFBCBD1EFF52F3E6AE394584.taxon	description	Records from various trapping campaigns (2019 - 2024) confirm the presence of stable populations and occasional captures of this species in Eastern and Southeastern Spain (provinces of Valencia, Alicante, Murcia and Castellón) (Table 1, Figure 1), as previously reported in Gallego et al. (2022). Its distribution range has also been expanded to Mallorca (Balearic Islands) and Southern Spain (Motril, Granada province). Notably, three specimens from Motril were obtained via direct collection from an ornamental Parkinsonia aculeata L. tree (Fabaceae), including a male (Figure 2). This represents the first host plant record for this insect in the Iberian Peninsula, and a new host plant for this species.	en	Gallego, Diego, Dios, Miguel Ángel Gómez De, Riba-Flinch, Josep Maria, García-Reina, Andrés, Galián, José, Mas, Hugo, Lencina, José Luis, Zafra, María, Henares, Ignacio, Rodríguez, Francisco, Alcázar, María Dolóres, Knížek, Miloš, Gómez, Demian F.

AC212E54FFBABD18FF52F5CDABBF40F7.taxon	description	Our results demonstrate that specimens of this species have been collected in traps from August 2019 to November 2023 in three localities in Southeastern Spain (from Almería and Murcia provinces) and one locality in Western Mallorca (Table 1, Figure 1). The initial detection occurred in August 2019 in Aguadulce (Almería province), where two specimens were captured by light trap (Figure 2). Subsequent captures were made in the same locality during August and September 2020 using the same trapping method. In October 2021, a single specimen was captured in a light trap in Ribera de la Algaida (Almería province), a nearby locality located 5 km from the first site. In 2023, a trap baited with ethanol and alpha-pinene was installed in Aguadulce, resulting in the capture of two additional specimens, one in August and another in October. On the island of Mallorca, a single specimen was captured in October 2021 in a trapping campaign targeting the exotic Xylosandrus compactus. No further captures have been recorded in this location. In October 2022, seven specimens were captured in a trap dedicated to the early detection of exotic species, which was located adjacent to a biomass processing plant in Caravaca (Murcia province). This trap has remained active since 2021 and has not captured any further specimens of this species.	en	Gallego, Diego, Dios, Miguel Ángel Gómez De, Riba-Flinch, Josep Maria, García-Reina, Andrés, Galián, José, Mas, Hugo, Lencina, José Luis, Zafra, María, Henares, Ignacio, Rodríguez, Francisco, Alcázar, María Dolóres, Knížek, Miloš, Gómez, Demian F.

AC212E54FFBABD1AFF52F393AE654317.taxon	description	The phylogenetic tree generated from our analyses (Figure 3) revealed that the majority of Euwallacea species clustered into four main clades, consistent with the findings of Gómez et al. (2018) and Smith et al. (2019). The 12 samples from Spain are nested together with all the PSHB clade, assigned to E. fornicatus by Smith et al. (2019). A single haplotype was identified in the Spanish samples, distinct from the H 33 haplotype reported in Israel, the USA, and South Africa (Stouthamer et al. 2017). Phylogenetically, our samples may be more closely related to haplotypes found in Japan, China, and Vietnam. A total of 241 specimens of E. fornicatus have been captured in the trap network in Motril, between early June and early November 2024 (Table 1, Figure 1). Additionally, infestations were detected in ornamental A. negundo (17 infested trees) and P. aculeata (1 infested tree). In October 2023, infestations were also detected in three orchards of P. americana (Lauraceae) and in Ricinus communis L. (Euphorbiaceae) (CAPADR 2024). Local authorities are implementing measures to eradicate the outbreak in accordance with national and European plant protection regulations.	en	Gallego, Diego, Dios, Miguel Ángel Gómez De, Riba-Flinch, Josep Maria, García-Reina, Andrés, Galián, José, Mas, Hugo, Lencina, José Luis, Zafra, María, Henares, Ignacio, Rodríguez, Francisco, Alcázar, María Dolóres, Knížek, Miloš, Gómez, Demian F.

AC212E54FFB7BD15FF52F5CDAFA94317.taxon	description	A single specimen of A. parviseta (Figure 2) has been captured (Table 1), in one trap of the network for E. fornicatus in Motril (Granada province) in September 2024 (Table 1, Figure 1). A possible record from Gemunde (Porto, Portugal) is also included, based on a photo by Carlos Silva shared on a private social media group in September 2024.	en	Gallego, Diego, Dios, Miguel Ángel Gómez De, Riba-Flinch, Josep Maria, García-Reina, Andrés, Galián, José, Mas, Hugo, Lencina, José Luis, Zafra, María, Henares, Ignacio, Rodríguez, Francisco, Alcázar, María Dolóres, Knížek, Miloš, Gómez, Demian F.
