Glycaspis brimblecombei (Hem.: Psyllidae), the invasive red gum lerp psyllid recorded in Italy
During 2010 in central and southern Italy (Campania, Basilicata and Latium), the invasive red gum lerp psyllid, Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), has been recorder for the first time in Italy. The psyllid was detected on Eucalyptus camaldulensis in several sampling sites. The hos...
