Abstract

Belonchilus numenius (SAY, 1832) – In Central Europe soon?Since two years Belonochilus numenius (SAY, 1832) (Heteroptera: Lygaeidae), originating from NorthAmerica and living on sycamore trees, seems to spread in the European Mediterranean area. This reportdescribes the first record for Italy and the biology as well as the morphological characteristics whichdelineate this newcomer from a similar species, Orsillus depressus (MULSANT & REY, 1852). It mightbe only a question of time, until B. numenius will be found in Central Europe as well.
