First records of the invasive species Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann (Hemiptera: Coreidae) on different coniferous species including the cedars of Lebanon
The western conifer seed bug, Leptoglossus occidentalis, is an alien invasive species of North
American origin. Leptoglossus occidentalis was recorded for the first time in Arsoun-Metn, Lebanon
in 2015. Adults and nymphs of L. occidentalis were collected by the authors from various locations in
Lebanon and observed on two species of pine, Pinus pinea and Pinus brutia, on Juniperus excelsa and
even on Cedrus libani. This could indicate its successful integration in the country and its presence on
many coniferous tree species. Studies to investigate the behaviour and the economic impact of this
alien insect species in Lebanon are recommended
