Abstract: Two new pests of Gleditsia sinensis Lam. in Guizhou Province, Agrilus viduus Kerremans and Trichochrysea imperialis Baly, were described. Agrilus viduus Kerremans bored into the stem in its larval stage resulting in the weakening and death of the tree, while Trichochrysea imperialis Baly ate the fresh terminals and young leaves in its adult stage, which affected the spread and growth of tip leaves.

Key words: Gleditsia sinensis Lam., new pests, Agrilus viduus Kerremans, Trichochrysea imperialis Baly, Guizhou Province
