Distribution of Perillus bioculatus (Fabricius, 1775) in Serbia

Abstract

While the hemipteran species Perillus bioculatus (Fabricius, 1775) was introduced to Serbia a while ago, the number of records has been rapidly increasing in recent years. This paper presents new records of P. bioculatus on ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) in association with Ophraella communa LeSage, 1986 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), which is a prey species for P. bioculatus.
