Monochamus galloprovincialis (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) is the vector of the Pine Wood Nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) in Europe. This nematode is the agent of the Pine Wilt Disease (PWD), a syndrome causing important damages in Eurasian pine forests. We report here the development of 12 polymorphic microsatellites loci specific to this species. We observed a moderate allelic richness over all loci. The number of allele per locus ranked from 2 to 8, with an average of 3.75. These markers will help to characterize the effect of the spread of an invader on the genetic structure of a native vector specie
