Mealybugs (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae) include economically important insect pests worldwide. Pseudococcus Westwood is the second biggest genus in Pseudococcidae, with several pest species. Pseudococcus adult females were collected and identified from wild and cultivated plants in Turkey. Molecular and morphological characters were analyzed to investigate the relationship among species. It was recognized that Pseudoccoccus species are shown in three distinctive groups concerning to both morphological and molecular aspects.

The 28-spotted potato ladybird beetle Henosepilachna vigintioctomaculata is an endemic pest of field crops in the Russian Far East. The study on the morphotypic structure of a population of this phytophagous insect can facilitate the monitoring of processes occurring in ecosystems. It might contribute to the research on the endemic fauna of the Russian Far East and reveal how varieties form resistance to pesticides. To study the polymorphism and structure of a potato ladybird beetle population, an analysis of elytral color patterns was conducted. The following features were considered: the size and shape of spots, the intensity of color, the position of spots on the elytra relative to the elytral suture, the presence of merged spots. As the result, nine morphotypes were identified. The morphotype A2 was the most frequent (47.81 %) and followed by the morphotypes A1 and A6. The morphotype A9 had the lowest frequency of occurrence (1.82 %). It was also determined that morphotypes differed in the linear dimension of spots on the elytra. The form A2 was characterized by the largest spots. The size of the color patterns varied from 104.98 ± 0.071 to 297.01 ± 0.065 µ. The form A1 had the smallest spots.

The present state of the invasive population of Odocnemis aurichalcea (Adams, 1817) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) in North Caucasus is studied. This species is widespread in Transcaucasia and has entered Nalchik and Nartkala towns (North Caucasus, Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia) possibly during urban greening where it is mentioned in these localities since at least the middle of the 20th century. Nothing was known about the status of this invasive population for 54 years. A rich population of this species was discovered in the outskirts of Nalchik in a natural beech forest in 2022. The species is naturalized in the North Caucasus, but inhabits only a very narrow, isolated range in this region. Diurnal activity, the response of adults to high temperature and humidity, habitat and trophic associations, and current distribution of the species in the North Caucasus are assessed. Taxocenes of tenebrionids from the tribe Helopini, including O. aurichalcea, were described. We establish that imagoes of the species occupy a narrower ecological niche in the invasive range under natural conditions, than in the native range, inhabiting exclusively beeches and feeding on algae of the genus Desmococcus F. Brand, 1925 (Chlorophyta: Trebouxiophyceae).
本文研究了北高加索地区黄颡鱼(Odocnemis aurichalcea, Adams, 1817)(鞘翅目:黄颡鱼科)入侵种群的现状。该物种广泛分布于外高加索，并可能在城市绿化期间进入Nalchik和Nartkala镇(北高加索，Kabardino-Balkaria，俄罗斯)，至少自20世纪中叶以来，这些地区就提到了它。54年来，人们对这种入侵种群的状况一无所知。2022年，在纳尔奇克郊区的一片天然山毛榉林中，人们发现了这个物种的丰富种群。该物种在北高加索被归化，但在该地区只栖息在一个非常狭窄、孤立的范围内。评估了该物种在北高加索地区的日活动、成虫对高温和高湿的反应、栖息地和营养关联以及目前的分布。描述了Helopini族拟黄目的taxocene，包括O. aurichalcea。我们确定，在自然条件下，该物种的图像在入侵范围内占据比本地范围更窄的生态位，仅栖息于山毛榉，并以Desmococcus F. Brand, 1925(绿藻:Trebouxiophyceae)属藻类为食。

Types of the three species of Arthrostenus Schoenherr, 1826 described by C. H. Boheman, housed at the C. J. Schoenherr collection in the Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm are examined. The lectotype is designated for Arthrostenus fullo Boheman, 1836. The holotypes of Arthrostenus spadiceus Boheman, 1836 and Arthrostenus cinereus Boheman, 1836 are conspecific, which resulted in a new synonymy as follows: Arthrostenus spadiceus Boheman, 1836 = Arthrostenus cinereus Boheman, 1836; syn. nov.

Heteroptera species collected from numerous localities in Anatolia, particularly Eastern Anatolia, between 1998 and 2021 are presented. 124 species in 97 genera belonging to following 20 families are recorded: Miridae (32), Nabidae (2), Anthocoridae (1), Tingidae (1), Reduviidae (7), Pentatomidae (33), Scutelleridae (9), Acanthosomatidae (1), Cydnidae (1), Coreidae (6), Rhopalidae (4), Alydidae (3), Stenocephalidae (2), Rhyparochromidae (12), Lygaeidae (3), Geocoridae (3), Artheneidae (1), Heterogasteridae (1), Oxycarenidae (1) and Pyrrhocoridae (1). Among them, Xanthochilus omissus (Horváth, 1911) (Rhyparochromidae) and Ceratocranum caucasicum Jakovlev, 1879 (Scutelleridae) are new for the Heteroptera fauna of Turkey. Furthermore, Dryophilocoris (Dryophilocoris) flavoquadrimaculatus (De Geer, 1773), Odontoplatys suturalis (Jakovlev, 1883) (Miridae) and Engistus salinus Jakovlev, 1874 (Geocoridae) that had been recorded from Turkey only once, are recorded from new localities. Additionally, most of the recorded species are new for the provinces that they are collected from, and following ten species are recorded from the Eastern Anatolian region for the first time: Cyllecoris histrionius (Linnaeus, 1767), Eurycolpus aureolus Seidenstücker, 1961, Odontoplatys suturalis (Jakovlev, 1883), Polymerus (Poeciloscytus) brevicornis (Reuter, 1879) (Miridae), Jalla dumosa (Linnaeus, 1758), Leprosoma tuberculatum Jakovlev, 1874, Picromerus conformis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1841) (Pentatomidae), Megalonotus emarginatus (Rey, 1888), Peritrechus nubilus (Fallén, 1807) (Rhyparochromidae) and Horvathiolus syriacus (Reuter, 1885) (Lygaeidae). Finally, the Heteroptera fauna of Transcaucasian region is briefly analyzed. It is revealed that among 1113 species known from this region, 255 species have not yet been recorded from Turkey and most of these species remain to be discovered from Eastern Anatolian region of Turkey, reflecting the need for future field researches in this region.

Sastrapada lativentralis sp. nov. is described based on specimens that were previously collected from Ryukyus, Japan, and during field surveys. Additional specimens were also obtained and photographed alive during a recent field survey in Ryukyus. This species is characterized by a distinctively broad abdomen and very shortened hemelytra. It can be distinguished from other species of Sastrapada Amyot & Serville, 1843, especially the related species S. brevicornis Breddin, 1900, S. brevipennis China, 1940, and S. microptera Miller, 1940, by the broader abdomen and the two-segmented protarsi.
