“…In 2003, it was reported in the Middle East and Spain (Protasov et al, 2007;Sánchez, 2003); in 2005, in southern France (EPPO, 2006, in Portugal and Turkey (Branco et al, 2006Doganlar & Mendel, 2007), in 2014 in Syria (Tracy and Fatima, 2014), and in Jordan in 2016 (Ghabeish and Araj, 2016). In Iraq, the wasp-swollen eucalyptus leaves (Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle) was observed in 2012 (Hassan, 2012). In Iraq, this wasp O. maskelli was first recorded in Karbala 2016 (Al-Lhuf et al, 2016).…”

Al-Jalal, H.M.M. and W.A. Yahya. 2023. First Record of the Eucalyptus Gall Wasp, Ophelimus maskelli (Ashmead) in Nineveh Governorate, Iraq. Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 41(1): 12-14. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-41.1.012014 Gall wasps ophelimus maskelli were detected for the first time in Nineveh Governorate on the foliage of Eucalyptus tree during June, 2021. Symptoms of infestation were in the form of pus-like swellings on the fresh stems and leaf blade. Leaves of Eucalyptus camaldulensis were heavily infested with the gall wasp, with leaves infestation rate and severity of infestation reached 42.2% and 5.2 galls/cm², respectively. The results showed that the severity of infestation at the basal and middle leaves was higher than the terminal leaves, and the averages reached 5.38, 2.73 and 1.70 galls/cm², respectively. Keywords: Swelling wasp, Eucalyptus, rate of infestation, severity of infestation.

“…Heavy galling causes leaf and stem curling and bending, limiting further growth, and can lead to severe crop losses to eucalypts in tropical countries, such as Tanzania, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam . Since its identification in 2004, L. invasa has invaded and become established in Eucalyptus plantations worldwide, causing substantial economic and ecologic losses in Cambodia, Vietnam, Iraq, China, India, Uruguay, Tunisia, Mozambique, Morocco, Argentina, Mexico, the United States, Greece, France, Italy, and Portugal …”

BACKGROUND: The wasp Leptocybe invasaFisher & LaSalle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), a Eucalyptus (Myrtaceae) pest native to Australia, has caused economic and ecologic losses in China. It is a serious pest in southern provinces. Because climate is a limiting factor in insect distribution, we used the model CLIMEX to predict the effect of climate change on potential current and future distributions of L. invasa in China. Data were collected on the current locations of this wasp, along with the damage incurred to Eucalyptus. These data were used to create a forecast model to predict potential current and future distribution maps of L. invasa in China. RESULTS:The verification results showed that 99.5% of the distribution samples formulated by the model are highly reliable and accurate. The result predicted that the potential current distribution of L. invasa will concentrate south of the Yellow River basin. The future distribution maps predicted a small-scale potential expansion north-northwest of Guangxi and more areas within China will provide increasingly suitable habitats for colonization by L. invasa. CONCLUSION: These distribution predications will be useful in determining where preventive and control measures should be implemented against this pest wasp in Eucalyptus throughout China.
