Ozognathus cornutus(LeConte, 1859) is recorded on the invasivealien tree Robinia pseudocacia L.(Fabaceae) in an urban areain Italy. The species has already been reported in two other Italian regions, but this is the first record for the Sardinian fauna. Due to the great adaptability of this alienspecies and the increasingly cosmopolitan trend, we suggest monitoringit with caution forearly detection and to plan an appropriate rapid management response.
