Monochamus galloprovincialis, the pine sawyer beetle, also referred to as the black pine sawyer beetle,^[1] is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Olivier in 1795, originally under the genus Cerambyx. It has a wide distribution, occurring naturally throughout Europe and the Caucasus. It has also been introduced into the Canary Islands. It serves as a vector for the parasitic nematode species Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, and also acts as a host to the parasitoid wasp species .^[2]

Adult beetles are strong fliers, and in flight mill experiments were, on average, able to fly 16 km over the lifetime of the beetle.^[3] The adult male produces an aggregation pheromone to attract females.^[4]
