In the US, two distinct species of E. nr. fornicatus now exist in California, commonly referred to as the polyphagous shot-hole borer, first detected in the vicinity of Los Angeles, and the Kuroshio shot-hole borer, found farther south near San Diego (Eskalen et al., 2013; Boland, 2016). These beetles are attributed with high mortality of a variety of phylogenetically diverse species, with the most severe impact on avocado, box elder (Acer negundo L., Sapindaceae), castor bean (Ricinus communis L., Euphorbiaceae), California live oak (Quercus agrifolia Née, Fagaceae), and red willow (Salix laevigata Bebb, Salicaceae). A third distinct population, more closely aligned with tea shot-hole borer (Stouthamer et al., 2017), is now established in southern Florida where avocado is the preferred host (Carrillo et al., 2016; Kendra et al., 2017; Owens et al., 2018b). That state's avocado industry, already heavily impacted by laurel wilt, now faces a new threat with Fusarium dieback. In addition to avocado, reported hosts of Florida E. nr. fornicatus include native species like swampbay and wild tamarind (Lysiloma latisiliquum [L.] Benth., Fabaceae), ornamental royal poinciana (Delonix regia [Boj. ex Hook] Raf., Fabaceae), naturalized exotics like woman's tongue tree (Albizia lebbeck [L.] Bentham, Fabaceae), and fruit crops such as mango (Mangifera indica L., Anacardiaceae) and soursop (Annona muricata L., Annonaceae) (Rabaglia et al., 2006; Carrillo et al., 2012, 2016; Owens et al., 2018a).
