Coccotrypes cyperi, commonly known as seed borer, [1] is a species of weevil with a cosmopolitan distribution. [2]
Native range of the species is South east Asia. It is found in Myanmar, India, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Sweden, Seychelles, Costa Rica, Honduras, Panamá, Jamaica, Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, México, United States, Australia, Cook Islands, Fiji, French Polynesia, Micronesia, Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Chile, Peru, Saint Vicente and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, US Virgin Islands, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. [3]
It is introduced to USA in the early 1900s particularly due to imported bird seeds and avocado seeds. [2]
After mating, adult beetle breeds in fruits, seeds, petioles, phloem, twigs, under bark of branches and logs. Particularly a seed borer, grubs are bore into the soft tissues. Both adult and the larva are polyphagous and has been reported from about 50 host plant species. In 2013 and 2015, it has been intercepted, in Cyprus on plants for planting of Ficus microcarpa from China. [2]
The emerald ash borer, also known by the acronym EAB, is a green buprestid or jewel beetle native to north-eastern Asia that feeds on ash species. Females lay eggs in bark crevices on ash trees, and larvae feed underneath the bark of ash trees to emerge as adults in one to two years. In its native range, it is typically found at low densities and does not cause significant damage to trees native to the area. Outside its native range, it is an invasive species and is highly destructive to ash trees native to Europe and North America. Before it was found in North America, very little was known about emerald ash borer in its native range; this has resulted in much of the research on its biology being focused in North America. Local governments in North America are attempting to control it by monitoring its spread, diversifying tree species, and through the use of insecticides and biological control.
The Chavez Ravine Arboretum, in Elysian Park, just north of Dodger Stadium, at 1025 Elysian Park Dr, Los Angeles, California, contains more than 100 varieties of trees from around the world, including what are believed to be the oldest and largest Cape Chestnut, Kauri, and Tipu trees in the United States.

Tomicus piniperda, the common pine shoot beetle, is a bark beetle native throughout Europe, northwestern Africa, and northern Asia. It is one of the most destructive shoot-feeding species in northern Europe.
The flora of the Dominican Republic is diverse.
Xylosandrus compactus is a species of ambrosia beetle. Common names for this beetle include black twig borer, black coffee borer, black coffee twig borer and tea stem borer. The adult beetle is dark brown or black and inconspicuous; it bores into a twig of a host plant and lays its eggs, and the larvae create further tunnels through the plant tissues. These beetles are agricultural pests that damage the shoots of such crops as coffee, tea, cocoa and avocado.

It is native to Asia and has spread to Africa, Europe, Australasia and the Americas. The adult beetle is reddish-brown and some 2 to 3 mm long.
Neoplocaederus obesus, commonly known as Cashew stem borer or Red cocoon-making longhorn, is a species of longhorn beetle native to South Asian and South East Asian countries.
Euwallacea interjectus, is a species of weevil native to Asia but introduced to Westerns parts of the world.
Euwallacea piceus, is a species of weevil native to Oriental Asia but introduced to African and other Westerns Pacific parts of the world. It is a serious pest in tropical and subtropical parts of the Americas.

Xyleborus perforans, commonly known as island pinhole borer, is a species of weevil native in the Oriental region through to Australia but shows a cosmopolitan distribution due to introduction to many parts of the world.
