In 1998 mor than 100 000 mß of Siberian Larch (Larix sibirica) were imported from Russia. In the process of phytosanitary control, the inspectors found 6 new species of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) one new buprestid beetle and one woodwasp (Siricidae) on the logs. Among the Cerambycidae Xyloterechus altaicus seems to be the most dangerous because it attacks healthy trees, tends to serious outbreaks and causes decline in larch forests. The other species listed in the text are not considered to be primarily attacking pests.
