“…Relatively recent records come from the British isolate specialists, who found seriously damaged strawberries while importing wreaths for Christmas from Turkiye [ 98 ]. T. lauri has a wide distribution in the Mediterranean region, where it has been reported in Croatia [ 115 ] and in the former Yugoslavia. It may also have developed in Montenegro, but no published evidence has been found [ 116 ].…”

Sternorrhyncha representatives are serious pests of agriculture and forestry all over the world, primarily causing damage to woody plants. Sternorrhyncha members are vectors for the transfer of a large number of viral diseases, and subsequently, the host plant weakens. Additionally, many are inherent in the release of honeydew, on which fungal diseases develop. Today, an innovative approach is needed to create new and effective ways to control the number of these insects based on environmentally friendly insecticides. Of particular relevance to such developments is the need to take into account the large number of organisms living together with insect pests in this group, including beneficial insects. Practically without changing their location on their host plant, they adopted to be more invisible and protected due to their small size, symbiosis with ants, the ability to camouflage with a leaf, and moderately deplete plants and others, rarely leading them to death but still causing substantial economic loss in the subtropics and tropics. Due to the lack of presence in the literature, this review fills in this pesky spot by examining (on the example of distinct species from four superfamilies) the characteristic adaptations for this suborder and the chemical methods of combating these insects that allow them to survive in various environmental conditions, suggesting new and highly promising ways of using olinscides for plant protection against Sternorrhyncha members.

“…The species is present on the European Union quarantine list (Part B Annex II, quarantine pests known to occur in the union territory of the regulation (EU) 2019/2072) and on the EPPO A2 list (pests recommended for regulation as quarantine pests locally present in the EPPO region). A. spiniferus is a successful invasive species that originates from tropical Asia and has spread across the Pacific, to Central, Eastern, and Southern Africa, via the Indian Ocean, and more recently across Europe, where it was first reported from Italy (2008) [22], then from Croatia (2012) [23], Montenegro (2013) [24], Greece (2016) [25] and Albania (2018) [26]. It was not reported from France until 2023.…”

We describe the process by which the quarantine whitefly, Aleurocanthus spiniferus (Hemiptera, Aleyrodidae), was detected in France. The initial observation was made by a volunteer who reported a picture of an adult in the Inventaire National du Patrimoine Naturel (INPN Espèces), a citizen science resource developed by l’Office Français de la Biodiversité and the French Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle. The specimen was suspected to be A. spiniferus from this picture by one of the expert entomologists in charge of the Hemiptera group validation. Once the species was identified, it was mounted on a slide and the information was officially passed on to the ministry in charge of agriculture via a communication channel set up in advance for this type of situation. The ministry then triggered the regulatory actions planned in the event of the suspected detection of quarantine organisms. Sampling was quickly carried out and the specimens collected on this occasion were formally identified as belonging to the species A. spiniferus. This led to the formalization of an outbreak in France. This sequence of decisions took just two months from the first observation to the implementation of a management plan. This case presents how incursion preparedness contributes to a rapid response. Furthermore, this case exemplifies how citizen science can contribute to the early detection of invasive species and highlights the importance of informing both the general public and professionals about major environmental issues.

“…spiniferus also occurs in other Asian countries such as Bangladesh, India, Iran, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, as well as in many countries in Africa and Oceania, and in the Hawaiian Islands (USA) (Jansen & Porcelli, 2018; EPPO, 2021). In Europe, following its first finding in Italy (Porcelli, 2008), the orange spiny whitefly has also been recorded from Albania, Croatia, Greece and Montenegro (Šimala & Masten, 2013; Radonjić et al ., 2014; Šimala et al ., 2015; Kapantaidaki et al , 2019; Nugnes et al ., 2020; EPPO, 2021).…”

First report from Sicily (Italy) of the orange spiny whitefly, Aleurocanthus spiniferus (Quaintance) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), and its potential risk for the Italian citrus industry

The orange spiny whitefly, Aleurocanthus spiniferus, is reported for the first time in the district of Catania, Sicily (IT). The pest was observed on ornamental sour orange trees cultivated along roads in the town of Catania as well as in commercial citrus orchards of the Plain of Catania. Italy is the second European citrusproducing country, after Spain, and more than 50% of Italian citrus are produced in Sicily, so the spread in this island of this new pest urgently requires adequate monitoring and control measures to protect this important crop.
