Abstract
The Australian bug species Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpineto et Dellapè (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae) is reported for the first time in Greece. This is a sap-sucking consumer (mesophyll feeder) of Eucalyptus spp. foliage. Feeding damage and the egg batches of the insect were found in several locations in 2016. This invasive species recently has been recorded from Portugal, Spain, and Italy. Although in Greece there are no currently forest plantations of eucalypts (experimental plantations exempted), this insect is a serious pest of these trees in roadside verges and city parks.
在希腊首次报道了澳大利亚臭虫种Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpineto et Dellapè(半翅目:thaumastocorides)。这是桉树叶的吸液食用者(叶肉食用者)。2016年,在多个地点发现了这种昆虫的取食损害和卵批次。这种入侵物种最近在葡萄牙、西班牙和意大利都有记录。虽然在希腊目前没有桉树的森林种植园(实验种植园除外),但这种昆虫是路边边缘和城市公园这些树木的严重害虫。
