Abstract

The lime seed bug Oxycarenus lavaterae was observed in great numbers on large-leaved linden trees Tilia platyphyllos Scop. in Krasnodar in the spring of 2020. This is the first record of this species from Russia, indicating eastward extension of O. lavaterae. The first data on the phenology and biology of the species in the North Caucasus, and also some characteristics of this invasive population are reported.

Funding

The preliminary stage of this study in 2016–2019 (setting up the network of climate loggers in the active and potential outbreak foci of alien pests) was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) and the Krasnodar Territory Administration within the framework of project 16-44-230780. In 2020, research was continued as part of RFBR project 19-44-230004 at I.T. Trubilin Kuban State Agrarian University (Krasnodar).
