Xyleborus glabratus Eichhoff (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) and sassafras trees that died from laurel wilt were discovered in a 3-parish area of northern Louisiana, USA, in Sep 2014. Redbay, a species that has been severely affected by the disease in the coastal plains forests of the southeastern USA, is not found in this area of northern Louisiana, suggesting that sassafras is attractive to X. glabratus and an adequate reproductive host for the beetle. This is the first report of X. glabratus and laurel wilt in Louisiana and the first report of the beetle and disease west of the Mississippi River. Sumario En septiembre del 2014, Xyleborus glabratus Eichhoff (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) y arboles de sasafras que murieron a causa de la marchitez del laurel fueron descubiertos en un area de 3 municipios del norte de Louisiana, EE.UU. El aguacatillo ( Persea borbonia ), una especie que se ha visto gravemente afectada por la enfermedad en los bosques de la llanura costero del sudeste de EE.UU., no se encuentra en esta zona del norte de Louisiana, lo que sugiere que el sasafras es atractivo para X. glabratus y un hospedero reproductivo adecuado para el escarabajo. Este es el primer informe de X. glabratus y la marchitez del laurel en Louisiana y el primer informe del escarabajo y la enfermedad al oeste del rio Mississippi. View this article in BioOne
