“…We also observed the recent occurrence of M. matsumurae on P. densiflora from Seoul, although this area was recorded as one of the distributions of the species in Korea [31]. According to the results of Lim et al [17], the occurrence of species under the name of M. thunbergianae was confirmed in all Southern coastal regions and some parts of Eastern and Western coastal regions, but it was not discovered in Chungcheongbuk-do, Daejeon, Jeju, or Seoul. In China, M. matsumurae also mainly damaged P. densiflora, which is widely distributed in Korea, along with P. thunbergii.…”

“…Finally, M. thunbergianae and M. resinosae were synonymized with M. matsumurae by Booth and Gullan [16], mainly based on their similarities in morphology and molecular sequences of 18S and 28S rDNA. However, M. thunbergianae is still considered a valid species in Korea [6,[17][18][19] despite suggestions that the two species are synonymous, and an evaluation between M. thunbergianae collected from Korea and M. matsumurae was not possible due to the absence of DNA data from any available database.…”

Matsucoccus matsumurae (Kuwana, 1905), commonly known as Japanese pine bast scale, is a destructive pest on pine trees in North America, East Asia, and Northern Europe. The spread of damage to black pine trees, Pinus thunbergii Parl., due to M. matsumurae has been reported throughout Southern and some Eastern and Western coastal regions in Korea, under the name M. thunbergianae, which was described by Miller and Park (1987). Recently, M. thunbergianae was synonymized with M. matsumurae by Booth and Gullan (2006), based on molecular sequences and morphological data. However, M. thunbergianae is still considered a valid species in Korea. Since supporting data for the synonyms are unavailable in any DNA database (e.g., GenBank and BOLD), we performed morphological and molecular comparisons to review the results of Booth and Gullan (2006) using samples of M. matsumurae collected from Japan and topotype materials of M. thunbergianae from Korea. Our study supports the opinion of Booth and Gullan (2006), as the morphological features of the adult female and male of M. thunbergianae are identical to those of M. matsumurae, and DNA sequences (18S and 28S) of M. thunbergianae show identical or very low genetic distances with those of M. matsumurae. Additionally, regional sampling of Korea produced the first documented occurrence of M. matsumurae in Jeju.

“…Heavy infested pines can die in a short time (1–5 years) especially after attack of secondary pests, such as bark beetles and longhorn beetles. Pine dieback as described above has been observed in China and Korea (Hu & Wang, 1976; Kim & Oh, 1992; Liu, Xie, Dong, Yang, et al., 2014; Xu et al., 2009; Zhang et al., 2007), and in the USA (Bean & Godwin, 1971; Maine Forest Service, 2019) without important differences. Most serious damage is observed on pines 8–25 years old, growing in dense stands.…”

“…M. matsumurae has been reported to have two generations per year in the USA (McClure, 1983) and in East Asia (Liu, Xie, Dong, Yang, et al., 2014; McClure et al., 1983; Young et al., 1976). However, in South Korea, it has been reported to have only one generation per year (Choi & Park, 2012; Kim & Oh, 1992; Miller & Park, 1987).…”

The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Matsucoccus matsumurae (Hemiptera: Matsucoccidae), the Massonian pine bast scale, for the EU territory. This pest categorisation was initiated following the commodity risk assessment of artificially dwarfed plants from China consisting of Pinus parviflora (Japanese white pine) grafted on P. thunbergii (Japanese black pine) performed by EFSA, in which M. matsumurae was identified as a pest of possible concern. However, its identity is not firmly established due to uncertainty regarding its taxonomic relationship with Matsucoccus pini (Green), a species widespread in Europe. M. matsumurae occurs in western China and has been reported as a pest of P. massoniana (Chinese red pine) and P. thunbergii. These hosts occur in the EU as ornamental/amenity trees. Other scales in the Matsucoccus genus feed on a variety of Pinus species and the host range of M. matsumurae could be wider than is currently recorded. The scale has one or two generations per year. All stages occur on the branches and stems of hosts with developing nymphs and adult females feeding through the bark on host phloem vessels. Symptoms include the yellowing/browning of host needles, early needle drop, desiccation of shoots and bark necrosis. The most serious infestations occur in hosts that are 8–25 years old and there can be some host mortality. In principle, host plants for planting and plant products such as cut branches and wood with bark could provide entry pathways into the EU. However, prohibitions on the import of Pinus from non‐European third countries regulate these pathways. In China, M. matsumurae occurs in regions with temperate humid conditions and hot summers. These conditions are also found in parts of southern EU. Were M. matsumurae to establish in the EU, it is conceivable that it could expand its host range; however, this remains uncertain. Some uncertainty exists over the magnitude of potential impacts. M. matsumurae satisfies the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess for it to be regarded as a potential Union quarantine pest, assuming M. pini is not a synonym, which is a key uncertainty.

“…Other lures useful to capture Matsucoccus species into traps are ethanol, alpha‐pinene and monochamol (2‐undecyloxy‐1‐ethanol) (Ahmed et al., 2020). Lindgren funnel traps and various kinds of sticky traps can be used for M. feytaudi, M. josephi and M. matsumurae (Branco et al., 2006), M. thunbergianae (Kim et al., 2016; Lee et al., 2018) and various Matsucoccus species in Florida (Ahmed et al., 2020). Mobile apterous females and mobile nymphs passively transported by air currents can be detected by suspended glue traps of various kinds.…”
