We report the distribution, infestation, and feeding plants of the alien longhorn beetle Apriona swainsoni swainsoni (Hope, 1840), recently discovered from Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, which is a serious pest of Styphnolobium japonicum in China. We found a specimen collected at Sukagawa City in 2014, suggesting that this species was introduced in Japan by 2014 at the latest. In some areas of Sukagawa and the adjacent Koriyama Cities, where A. swainsoni swainsoni has been found, S. japonicum and Maackia amurensis, which are planted as a roadside tree, especially the latter, have been infested by this alien species. Additionally, in captivity, we found that A. swainsoni swainsoni can eat two native Fabaceae species, Lespedeza bicolor and L. homoloba, which are widely distributed from hilly to montane areas in Japan. It is necessary to consider whether A. swainsoni swainsoni will be expand its distribution in Japan.
