“…This situation is possible, since our predictions for a single locality cannot be generalized for the country as a whole. WCSB seems to be a good flier with high dispersal capability (Ridge-O'Connor 2001;Hizal 2012), and some of the observations made in Europe might represent temporary occurrences beyond its suitable niche. In England, WCSB was unexpectedly discovered at Weymouth College in early 2007 and no data on its phenology were provided (Malumphy and Reid 2007).…”

Leptoglossus occidentalis, a species native to North America, has been expanding through European conifer forests. The fast spread across the European continent demonstrates its great invasive potential and poses a threat to conifer seed orchards. To better understand its potential distribution and population growth in infested regions, the temperature-dependent development in laboratory as well as life history, phenology, and winter survival were investigated in southern Slovakia during 2009-2011. The lower temperature thresholds to complete embryonic and postembryonic development estimated with the linear model were 13.38 and 14.37°C, respectively. The number of degree-days required for completion of development from egg to adult estimated by the linear model was 533°C. Overwintered adults or late nymphal instars became active in mid-March, oviposition was not observed before mid-April, and nymphs passing through five stages reached adulthood after mid-July. Individual females laid on average 31 eggs (max 78). The second generation started in August but did not complete its development till winter, although part of the 5th instar nymphs did survive until spring. Using temperature data of 41 localities across Europe and cumulative degree-days for complete life cycle, a prediction of the potential number of generations per year was made. In conditions of southern Slovakia L. occidentalis was univoltine, but up to four generations per year were estimated depending on the locality in Europe.Keywords Western conifer seed bug Á Life history Á Phenology Á Degree-days Á Mlyňany Arboretum Key message• Leptoglossus occidentalis is a pestiferous invasive insect feeding on conifer seeds which currently spreads over Europe, where detailed information on its biology is limited. • The thermal requirements for the development and life history of L. occidentalis were examined in Slovakia, and the number of potential generations was estimated across Europe. • The outcomes of this study provide important data for evaluating management options of this species.

This is a review article. It discusses the current state of knowledge of the biology of Leptoglossus occidentalis (Heidemann, 1910) [Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae], direct and indirect damage caused by the pest, the dangers of its rapid expansion and possible biological control. The paper presents new reports of L. occidentalis in Poland (Szczecin, northwest Poland). This pest shows great ecological flexibility, has adapted well to the climatic conditions prevailing in Europe and is spreading rapidly across the continent. The rate of its expansion is also influenced by a wide range of potential host plants that also occur in Poland at natural sites and in artificial afforestations. Due to the type and scale of damage caused by L. occidentalis, its fast reproduction rate and possibly severe losses in forest management, potential feeding grounds of L. occidentalis, such as forests in which coniferous seeds are sourced and forest nurseries, should be monitored and protected. This insect may also pose a threat to protected plant communities, for example the coastal crowberry coniferous forest (Empetro nigri-Pinetum Wojt. 1964) occurring only in northwestern Poland, lichen Scots pine forest (Cladonio-Pinetum Juraszek 1927) or marshy pine forests (Vaccinio uliginosi-Pinetum Kleist 1929). Two biological agents: the egg parasitoid Gryon pennsylvanicum (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) and entomopathogenic fungi, are currently used in biological control against this pest in Europe.

“…But one year later published an article in which they reported this species from Edirne based on material collected between 2009 and 2011, and claimed that these were the first records of this species from Turkey. The known distribution of this species in Turkey is Edirne, Kırklareli ; İstanbul (Arslangündoğdu & Hızal 2010;Hızal 2012) and İzmir (Hızal & İnan 2012). It seems, from these records, that this species shows a western distribution in Turkey.…”

This study is based on material of the suborder Heteroptera collected and photographed from different provinces of Turkey between 2011 and 2015. In this study, 15 species belonging to 9 families are recorded from various provinces of Turkey. All of the species listed include remarks on their known distribution either in Turkey or in worldwide. Among them 12 species are new for the Heteroptera fauna of Turkey. In addition it is found out that Pasira marinadolina Putshkov & Moulet, 2003 could also have bicolored connexivum.
