Ecology and presence in Slovenia
It is a non-native species native to East Asia, distributed in Europe (Italy, Slovenia), Asia (Fujian, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Shanxi, Tianjin) and the Nearctic (USA, Canada). It has also been introduced into South America and Australia. One specimen was found during the monitoring of the non-native Xylosandrus germanus in an ethanol trap at the Klavže location in September 2017. In 2018, a special monitoring was established in Slovenia to improve knowledge on the occurrence and distribution of A. rubricollis in the country. The presence of the species was also detected in three other locations in Primorska in ethanol traps. The same year, it was also recorded in the Port of Koper (Figure 166). The species is polyphagous. Adult length is 2.5-2.8 mm. The body is red-brown and heavily covered in hairs. The elytra are strongly and evenly punctated to the tip of the apex.
