Occurrence of an invasive alien species Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in Turkey

Abstract

Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) was detected, while studying on the species of Tingidae and their natural enemies between April and November in 2011-2013 in Tekirdağ. It is one of the most important biological control agent and well known invasive alien ladybird species. H. axyridis was recorded in Tekirdağ/Turkey and some knowledge on its distribution and economic importance were given.
