Globalisation and international trade, in particular, are the major drivers of introduction spread non-native species. To date, more than 30 species Hemiptera Auchenorrhyncha have been accidentally introduced into Europe. Some invasive with important repercussions primarily for agricultural activities, while almost no information exists on their impacts within natural ecosystems. Therefore, early detection subsequent monitoring extremely actions to undertake. The North American Osbornellus...
The Eastern Palearctic typhlocybine leafhopper Arboridia kakogawana , feeding on Vitaceae, is recorded for the first time in Italy. In May 2024, adults were detected yellow sticky traps three vineyards ( Vitis vinifera ) Grugliasco, Chieri and Montalto Dora, province of Turin (Piedmont region).
