In this context, it becomes necessary to work toward identifying new invasive species of scolytids. A dramatic increase in tree plantations began in Uruguay in the 1990s after a new forestry law went into force in the country, leading to more than 1 million ha forested with exotic trees (mostly Eucalyptus spp. and Pinus spp.) to date. In December 2009, after a severe drought episode, high mortality was recorded on pine tree stands during the fi rst economically signifi cant outbreak of bark beetles recorded in the country. Here the authors present an updated list of bark and ambrosia beetles recorded in commercial tree plantations in Uruguay, after 3 years of surveying. Bark and ambrosia beetles are part of the fauna commonly occurring in pine tree and eucalyptus plantations in Uruguay. Beetle species mainly belong to Dryocoetini, Ipini, Hylesinini, and Xyleborini.  aCONTROL BI0LOGICO  aFORESTACIÓN  aURUGUAY1 aMARTÍNEZ, G.
