Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) is a commercially important tree in the Mediterranean basin, where there is a considerable increase in cultivation, especially in Spain. Because of its recent introduction as a crop in the country (1980s), studies on the pests of pistachio in Spain are still rare. Here, we studied the leaf beetle Labidostomis lusitanica (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), which was observed on pistachio and might become a serious pest under the expanding Spanish pistachio fields. Because early detection of pests is extremely important to properly plan control strategies, we (i) updated the information on the distribution of the species through samplings and surveys, and (ii) modelled its potential distribution.

叶甲虫 Labidostomis lusitanica（鞘翅目：Chrysomelidae）作为伊比利亚开心果害虫：突出危险区域

开心果 ( Pistacia vera L.) 是地中海盆地的重要商业树，那里的种植面积大幅增加，尤其是在西班牙。由于它最近在该国作为一种作物引入（1980 年代），因此对西班牙开心果害虫的研究仍然很少。在这里，我们研究了在开心果上观察到的叶甲虫Labidostomis lusitanica (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)，它可能成为西班牙开心果种植园中的严重害虫。由于害虫的早期发现对于正确规划控制策略极为重要，因此我们 (i) 通过抽样和调查更新了有关物种分布的信息，以及 (ii) 对其潜在分布进行建模。
