In its native range, <i>D. sibiricus</i> develops on practically all coniferous species of the Pinaceae family: <i>Abies</i>, <i>Pinus</i>, <i>Larix</i>, and <i>Picea</i> (Kirichenko &amp; Baranchikov, <span>2007</span>; Rozhkov, <span>1963</span>). Major hosts are <i>Abies nephrolepis</i>, <i>Abies sibirica</i>, <i>Larix gmelinii</i>, <i>Larix sibirica</i>, and five-needle pines such as <i>Pinus koraiensis</i> and <i>Pinus sibirica</i> (EPPO, <span>2023a</span>).

Most experts distinguish around 30 species in the genus, of which 16 species are found in the Palearctic region (Jeong et al., <span>2018</span>; Mikkola &amp; Ståhls, <span>2008</span>; Tanaka et al., <span>2020</span>). Morphologically, <i>D. sibiricus</i> has many similarities to the related species, <i>D. superans</i>, that co-occurs in the Russian Far East and China (Rozhkov, <span>1963</span>). Rozhkov (<span>1963</span>) considered <i>D. superans</i> as a single species, with two subspecies: <i>D. superans sibiricus</i> Chetverikov and <i>D. superans albolineatus</i> Butler. In the current taxonomy, they are considered as separate species respectively, <i>D. sibiricus</i> and <i>D. superans</i> (EFSA, <span>2023</span>). A second closely-related species is <i>D. pini</i>, which is native to Europe and Asia and whose distribution range partially overlaps with <i>D. sibiricus</i> in Central Russia (Hardin &amp; Suazo, <span>2012</span>; Kononov et al., <span>2016</span>).</p><p>For an updated geographical distribution of <i>D. sibiricus</i> consult EPPO Global Database (EPPO, <span>2023a</span>).</p><p>A datasheet providing more information on the biology is also available (EPPO, <span>2023b</span>).</p><p><b>Name</b>: <i>Dendrolimus sibiricus</i> Chetverikov, <span>1908</span>.</p><p><b>Other scientific names</b>: <i>Dendrolimus laricis</i> Chetverikov, 1903, <i>Dendrolimus superans sibiricus</i> Chetverikov, 1903.</p><p><b>Common name</b>: Larch caterpillar, Siberian conifer silk moth, Siberian moth, Siberian silk moth.</p><p><b>Taxonomic position</b>: Lepidoptera, Lasiocampidae, <i>Dendrolimus</i>.</p><p><b>EPPO Code</b>: DENDSI.</p><p><b>Phytosanitary categorization</b>: EPPO A2 list n° 308, EU Annex II A.</p><p>Larvae cause massive defoliation on coniferous hosts (Figures 1 and","PeriodicalId":34952,"journal":{"name":"EPPO Bulletin","volume":"54 2","pages":"137-146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/epp.13009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142077798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Müller &amp; Arx (Diaporthales) was first described by Peck as a pathogen of the native American hazelnut (also called American filbert), <i>Corylus americana</i> Walt.

It is considered as an endemic pest of <i>C. americana</i>, but on the European (cultivated) hazelnut, <i>C. avellana</i> L., it causes eastern filbert blight, a devastating disease producing perennial cankers on limbs. Already reported as early as 1892 in the North-East USA (Halsted, <span>1892</span>), the pathogen later caused serious problems on cultivated hazelnut in the North-West USA. Since its first detection in South-West Washington State in 1970 (Davison &amp; Davidson, <span>1973</span>), <i>A. anomala</i> has spread southwards into the Willamette Valley of Oregon and can now be found throughout the entire valley (OSU, <span>2023</span>). This pathogen is distributed in Canada and the USA and information on its population structure (based on SSR markers) can be found in Cai et al. (<span>2013</span>).

The average growth of cankers in European hazelnut is 31 cm per year (Gottwald &amp; Cameron, <span>1980</span>), girdling branches, causing canopy dieback and death of trees (Johnson et al., <span>1996</span>).
