Summary: | In August 2014, twenty adults of Ricania speculum (Walker) (Homoptera: Ricaniidae) were collected on plants of Citrus spp. in La Spezia province (Liguria, Italy). This planthopper, which is native to parts of China and other Asian countries, is highly polyphagous and a pest of several crops such as citrus, cotton, coffee, oil palm and tea. As a newly introduced pest in Europe, R. speculum needs to be monitored for its potential spread, especially in Southern European countries and for the damage it may cause to agriculture in the region.
Le cicadelle asiatique Ricania speculum (Walker) (Homoptera: Ricaniidae) sur plusieurs cultures en Italie: une menace potentielle pour la région OEPP?
En août 2014, 20 adultes de Ricania speculum ont été collectés sur Citrus spp. dans la province de La Spezia (Liguria, Italie). Cette cicadelle, endémique dans certaines parties de la Chine et d'autres pays asiatiques, est très polyphage et est un organisme nuisible de plusieurs cultures telles que les agrumes, le cotonnier, le caféier, le palmier à huile et le théier. R. speculum est un organisme nuisible nouvellement introduit en Europe, dont la dissémination potentielle, en particulier dans les pays d'Europe du sud, doit faire l'objet d'un suivi, ainsi que les dégâts qu'il peut causer à l'agriculture de la région.
