Abstract
The beetle Ips calligraphus Germar has become the main forest phytosanitary problem in natural and planted pine forests in the Dominican Republic. Historical infestations have been important from the point of view of damage to forest areas of the genus Pinus. The last attack with epidemic characteristics was reported in 2019 on the northern slopes of the Cordillera Central. As a result of the containment of this epidemic, a pilot project was carried out, establishing a Lindgren-type multi-funnel trapping system and the use of their respective sexual attraction pheromones. The results of the captures of adult insects as of 2019 have been very high, for that reason they are formally disseminated through this article, while the revision of the values considered endemic and the evaluation of the integral health of the insects are proposed forests, through the implementation of phytosanitary parcels.
