Dendrophilic invasive pests in North Korea

The results of exploratory studies of woody and shrub plants on green spaces in the city of Pyongyang (North Korea) are presented. The presence of three invasive dendrophilic phytophages was found: Hyphantria cunea, Obolodiplosis robinea, and Corythucha ciliata. The gall midge of the Japanese pine Thecodiplosis japonensis was not found, however, over the past few years, all dead bipartite pines have been replaced in the city, which may be an indirect confirmation of the malicious activity of this insider.
