Background: Europe has a long history of non-native species introductions given its central role in global trade in recent centuries. Currently, approximately two hundred cerambycid species have been found in Europe, as the result of introductions between and within biogeographical regions; still, despite better monitoring and stronger restrictions, the arrivals and spread of non-native Cerambycidae continue.
New information: The aim of this contribution is to report and discuss the first European records of the non-native longhorn beetle Olenecamptusbilobus (Fabricius, 1801) on the basis of three specimens recorded almost simultaneously in Spain and Greece, respectively.
Keywords: Greece; Spain; biodiversity; introduction; longhorn beetles; non-native species; wood borer.
