Invasive Asian seed beetle Megabruchidius tonkineus (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Bruchinae) first record in Croatia
The native range of the invasive seed beetle Megabruchidius tonkineus (Pic 1904) is situated in the Oriental Asian region. This seed beetle resides in seed pods of Gleditsia triacanthos L. (Fabaceae) and is recorded for the first time in the territory of Croatia. Its first appearance in Europe was recorded in a storehouse in Germany during the 1980s. There are further recent reports from Bulgaria, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia and Switzerland. Some of these countries are bordering with Croatia, for that reason it was necessary to check for the presence of this invasive species in our country. Research was carried out from 21.01.2016 to 19.02.2016 in the territory of eastern Croatia. 22 localities were investigated and the presence of this invasive species was confirmed on 18 localities. This species has a big invasive potential because it successfully managed to colonize G. triacanthos trees and settle inside its seed pods. There is a lot of concern what would happen if this seed beetle changes the host plant to agronomical important species like pea (Pisum sativum) or beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), in which case it can pose serious threats to both agro economy and ecology.
