New Record of Bruchidiussiliquastri Delobel (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Bruchinae) in Korea

摘要

Bruchidius siliquastri Delobel, 2007 belongs to the subfamily Bruchinae (Chrysomelidae) and is supposedly of eastern Asian origin. The species is recently regarded as an invasive species that infests the seeds of the leguminous plant Cercis siliquastrum L. (Fabaceae) in Europe. In Korea, this bruchid species was uploaded and identified by domestic Korean bloggers. However, they did not conduct a precise identification. Authors observed this species on a C. chinensis Bunge planted on the campus of Sunchon National University in the spring of 2022. In this study, we present new ecological data on the bruchid beetle B. siliquastri Delobel from Korea.
