Allawi A. Alaraydah, Amre M. Al Mhassneh, Bashir Y. Abdel Hafes, Isra W. Salem, Dr. Khaled Abu Hammour, Nizar S. Obeidate Abstract: The first nationwide survey of Scolytinae in Jordan was conducted at 2023 to determine the presence and distribution of previously undetected alien species. Study sites included pine, and oak forests and fruit tree farms north Jordan. Insect traps baited with ethanol lures were employed to maximize the diversity of Scolytinae species collected. We collected four species of (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) of the bark beetles which are Xylopertha reflexicauda (Lesne, 1937),Scobicia chevrieri (A. Villa & G.B. Villa, 1835) , Xyloperthella picea (Olivier, 1790)and Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius, 1792). Four recently established alien species were detected, belong to (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) which are Xyleborinus saxesenii (Ratzeburg 1837), Cryphalus dilutus Eichhoff 1878, of Hypothenemus eruditus Westwood, 1833, Cryphalus sp. Most recorded taxa are widespread species of the western Palearctic (all Bostrichidae) or species of cryptogenic origin (X. saxesenii and H. eruditus). Of particular interest is the occurrence of the invasive Cryphalus dilutus, a species originating from the eastern Palearctic and Indo-Malaya. This taxon is native to Myanmar and has been recently recorded or introduced in China (Guangdong, Yunnan), Malta, Italy, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Oman, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Mexico, with the current species first discovered in Jordan Still in this category.
