The bark beetle, Ernoporus parvulus (Eggers, 1943) was collected from Pinellas County, Florida, USA representing the first North American record of the genus. Two species previously described from the Caribbean were examined and are synonymous: Ernoporus minutus (Bright Torres, 2006) syn. nov. and E. exquisitus (Bright, 2019) syn. nov. This beetle is likely an overlooked exotic from Africa, known only from sea hibiscus, Talipariti tiliaceum (L.) Fryxell (Malvaceae). There is no evidence that this is a threat to commercial or ornamental Hibiscus and related species.
从美国佛罗里达州皮内拉斯县采集到树皮甲虫 Ernoporus parvulus（Eggers，1943），这代表了该属在北美的首次记录。此前从加勒比地区描述的两种物种是同义的：Ernoporus minutus（Bright Torres，2006）syn. nov. 和 E. exquisitus（Bright，2019）syn. nov. 这种甲虫可能是一种来自非洲的被忽视的外来物种，仅已知存在于海芙蓉（Talipariti tiliaceum（L.）Fryxell）（锦葵科）中。没有证据表明这对商业或观赏芙蓉和相关物种构成威胁。
