Abstract

The article gives a literary analysis of the problem of damage to European pine forests by stem pests involving Phaenops cyanea (Fabricius, 1775) based on available sources supplemented by observations of the authors. An increase in the economic importance of this species since the 1990s in a number of Central European countries is stated. Its biology, ecology, methods of population monitoring and protective measures is described. The gaps in knowledge that need to be filled in order to obtain a holistic picture of the impact of Ph. cyanea on pine stands and build an effective forest protection system are identified. Information on the impact of a combined outbreak of mass reproduction of Ips acuminatus (Gyllenhal, 1827) and Ph. cyanea on pine forests of Belarus is provided. The available monitoring methods and protective measures that can be used in foci of Ph. cyanea at the current level of knowledge are listed.
