“…Olive flea beetles have not been reported in the Mediterranean and California, the main olive-producing regions in the world. Lythraria salicariae (Paykull, 1800) was found on cultivated olive orchards in Latvia and Turkey; however, it was not possible to conclude that olive trees were their host plant, as feeding and ovipositing were not observed [ 4 , 12 ].…”

The genus Argopistes (Chrysomelidae: Alticini) is the only group of flea beetles specialized in plant hosts in the family Oleaceae. In southern Africa, Argopistes are often found feeding on African Wild Olive (Olea europaea subsp. cuspidata) and European cultivated olive (O. e. subsp. europaea), and heavy infestations can be devastating to mature trees and compromise the development of young trees. Despite their negative agricultural impact, African Argopistes are an understudied group for which no genetic data were available. We assessed the species diversity of olive flea beetles in the Western Cape province of South Africa, the largest olive-producing region in sub-Saharan Africa, by collecting adult specimens on wild and cultivated olive trees between 2015 and 2017. Argopistes sexvittatus Bryant, 1922 (n = 289) dominated at all sampling sites, and Argopistes capensis Bryant, 1944 (n = 2) was found only once. Argopistes oleae Bryant, 1922, a third species previously reported in the region, was not found. The complete mitogenomes of one A. capensis and two A. sexvittatus (striped and black morphotypes) individuals were sequenced for phylogenetic reconstruction in the context of other 64 species. The two olive flea beetle species form a monophyletic clade with other Argopistes, supporting the hypothesis that the exclusive feeding habit on Oleaceae is an evolutionary adaptation in this genus.

“…According to the latest data, Turkish Chrysomelidae fauna includes over 900 taxa arranged in 13 subfamilies, and about 10% of these are endemic to Turkey. (Ekiz et al, 2013;Özdikmen et al, 2014;Aslan and Başar, 2016).…”

The study is based on leaf beetle material collected from Elazığ, Erzincan and Tunceli provinces of Turkey during 2018 and 2019. As a result of examined specimens 44 taxa are identified totally. The numbers of taxa according to the provinces are 23 from Elazığ, 15 from Erzincan and 11 from Tunceli. 19 out of 23 species in Elazığ, 12 out of 15 species in Erzincan and all the reported species in Tunceli are new records. Notes regarding some species are provided under the title "remarks". In addition, the presence of Galeruca spectabilis spectabilis (Faldermann, 1837) in Turkey is confirmed with the exact locality data. The present study aims to contribute Turkish leaf beetle fauna with new locality records.

The study was carried out between the years 2019-2020 in order to determine the Chrysomelidae species and their host plants in the vegetable fields of greenhouses, gardens, and open fields located in the central district of Burdur province. As a result of 366 samples examined; 18 species belonging to 5 genera from Galerucinae subfamily, 2 species belonging to 2 genera from Chrysomelinae subfamily, and 1 species from Criocerinae subfamily were identified. Information about local distributions was added for each species. In addition, host plant relationships of the species that can be determined based on field observations, or previous literature information on host plants were given. Among the determined species Chaetocnema delarouzei (Brisout), Epitrix hirtipennis (Illiger), Epitrix pubescens (Koch), Longitarsus pellucidus (Foudras), Phyllotreta ochripes (Marsham), Gastrophysa polygoni (Linnaeus), Oulema melanopus (Linnaeus) and Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) were recorded for the first time from Burdur province with this study.
