THE BROWN MARMORATED STINK BUG Halyomorpha halys (STÅL, 1855) CONTINUES TO INVADE CROATIA

The invasive brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), native to Asia, was observed in Croatia in the city of Rijeka in winter 2017 for the first time. In 2018, it has been observed and collected in Zagreb, the capital (130 km NE of Rijeka), with two additional photo records from Split-Dalmatia county (250 km SE of Rijeka) (Facebook page “Koji je ovo pauk/kukac?”). As it was recorded in the neighbouring countries (Italy, Hungary and Serbia), its arrival was expected in Croatia. In addition, the part of mitochondrial COI gene of individuals from the city of Rijeka were compared with other haplotypes present in the GeneBank database.
