First Record of Corythucha arcuata (Say) (Heteroptera: Tingidae) on the Balkan Peninsula

摘要

Corythucha arcuata (Say) was recorded for the first time in Bulgaria and the Balkan Peninsula as well. It was found on the leaves of solitary trees of Quercus robur L. in Plovdiv, and in mixed stands formed by Q. robur and Q. cerris L. in the vicinity of Simeonovgrad in South Bulgaria. C. arcuata has most likely penetrated into Bulgaria from the Asiatic part of Turkey where it is widely distributed.
