Despite their diversity and distribution, a comprehensive modern revision of the species has yet to be undertaken. So far, six species have been recorded in Serbia. Our study identified three species new to the Serbian fauna: <em>Pauesia similis </em>Starý, 1966, <em>P. juniperorum </em>(Starý, 1960), and <em>P. silvestris </em>(Starý, 1960). Data on the location and tritrophic associations of the collected material are provided, as well as an identification key for <em>Pauesia</em> females in Serbia. We present two new trophic associations, both involving <em>Pinus peuce</em> Griseb. (Macedonian pine): <em>P. similis</em> and <em>P. piceaecollis</em> reared from <em>Cinara</em> aphids.</p> Korana Kocić, Jelisaveta Čkrkić, Andjeljko Petrović, Željko Tomanović ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://aes.bio.bg.ac.rs/index.php/aes/article/view/400 Thu, 03 Oct 2024 13:57:10 +0200 NEW DATA ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PERILLUS BIOCULATUS (HETEROPTERA: PENTATOMIDAE): FIRST RECORDS FROM CROATIA, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA, NORTH MACEDONIA, GEORGIA, AND ARMENIA https://aes.bio.bg.ac.rs/index.php/aes/article/view/401 <p><em>Perillus bioculatus</em>, a stink bug native to North America, was occasionally introduced to Europe in the early 20th century as a control agent against the potato pest <em>Leptinotarsa decemlineata</em>. Efforts were made to establish it, but it was not observed in the wild or considered naturalized until recent decades. In this paper, <em>P</em>.<em> bioculatus</em> is reported for the first time from five countries: Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Georgia, and Armenia. Individuals were usually observed in the fall in gardens on potato plants while feasting on Colorado potato beetles, or near houses. Details about the new findings are presented, and the origin and further spread of the species are shortly discussed.</p> Sebastian Ćato, Marko Doboš, Tin Škugor, Olli Pihlajamaa, Artem Muradkhanyan ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://aes.bio.bg.ac.rs/index.php/aes/article/view/401 Tue, 19 Nov 2024 13:16:41 +0100
