LEPTOGLOSSUS OCCIDENTALIS (HEIDEMANN, 1910) IS AN INVASIVE INSECT SPECIES

Abstract

The western conifer seed bug, Leptoglossus occidentalis (Heidemann, 1910) (Heteroptera: Coreidae), is an invasive alien species of North American origin. In Europe, it was first collected in Italy in 1999. From there, it quickly expanded its range to western and eastern Europe. Leptoglossus occidentalis was recorded for the first time in Sariyer-Istanbul, Turkey in 2009. Leptoglossus occidentalis is specialised to conifers. In this study gives Leptoglossus occidentalis morphology, distribution and host plants, economic importance.
