Bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) are a large and diverse group of insects, commonly recognized as one of the most important tree mortality agents in coniferous forests worldwide and an important group among invasive forest species. In this study, we combined data from field sampling with published records of established non-native pine bark beetles, to describe their distribution and invasion history in pine plantations across southern South America, reviewing the available information on their phenology and host range. We obtained records of established populations of six Eurasian species distributed in two major regions: the southwest region comprises plantations in Chile and the Argentine Patagonia, with four bark beetle species: Hylastes ater, Hylastes linearis, Hylurgus ligniperda, and Orthotomicus laricis; the northeastern zone includes northeastern Argentina, Uruguay, and southern Brazil, and includes three bark beetle species: Cyrtogenius luteus, H. ligniperda, and O. erosus. The establishment of non-native populations across the study area began in the 1950s, and from the 1980s onwards, there has been an exponential increase in introductions. We predict that several of these species will continue spreading across South America and that new species will continue arriving. We highlight the importance of international collaboration for early detection and management of non-native pine bark beetles. © 2024, Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil.  aBiological invasions  aBiosecurity  aForest insects  aPartnership for the goals - Goal 17  aPine plantations  aReduced inequalities - Goal 10  aSISTEMA FORESTAL - INIA  aSouthern Cone  aSustainable Development Goals (SDGs)1 aGÓMEZ, D.1 aVILARDO, G.1 aSTAZIONE, L.1 aRAMOS, S.1 aESKIVISKI, E.1 aFACHINETTI, R.1 aSCHIAPPACASSI, M.1 aVALLEJOS, N.1 aGERMANO, M.1 aVILLACIDE, J.1 aGRILLI, M.P.1 aMARTÍNEZ, G.1 aAHUMADA, R.1 aESTAY, S.A.1 aDUMOIS, I.1 aCORLEY, J.  tNeotropical Entomology. 2024. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13744-023-01125-2  -- [Online ahead of print]
