The lagoon is embedded in a biodiversity rich landscape mosaic comprising beaches, dunes, sandflats, mudflats, seagrasses, and small water channels, and is one of the largest saltmarsh areas in Portugal and in Europe, supporting coastal food webs and providing nursery areas for several species. Despite being a Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site and integrating the Natura 2000 network, few systematic studies have been carried on its entomofauna. In this work, field collections were carried in seven locations along Ria de Aveiro saltmarsh areas by sweep-netting the dominating halophyte vegetation in September 2020. From these collections, Teratocoris antennatus (Boheman, 1852), a rare marsh bug, is reported for the first time for Portugal.

Collected specimens in 2020 from Albania were identified by comparing the length of their rostrum. This species can acclimatize on two local trees, namely Tilia cordata Miller, 1768 and Ziziphus jujuba Miller, 1768.

Among them, belonging to Lygaeidae family Peritrechus meridionalis Puton, 1877, Pezocoris apicimacula (A. Costa, 1853), Tropistethus fasciatus Ferrari, 1874, Horvathiolus superbus (Pollich, 1781)and belonging to Miridae family Globiceps (Globiceps) sphaegiformis (Rossi, 1790), Psallus quercus (Kirschbaum, 1856), Grypocoris melanopygus Horváth, 1906, Acetropis carinata (Herrich-Schäffer, 1842) are reported for the first time from Eastern Anatolia of Turkey.<br> In addition, many species are newly reported to studied provinces.

This species is widespread from Mediterranean to Central Asia, but in Turkey it was known until now only from the southern of Anatolia. This record is the eastern- and northernmost one for Turkey

Reduviidae adults and larvae Tenthredinidae family was collected on Rose spp in Diyarbakır province of Turkey in November and brought to the laboratory for rearing. The larvae were reared at the temperature of 26±1°C, relative humidity of 65±5, and illumination of 3500 lux for 16 hours per day. As a result of this study, Allantus (s.str.) viennensis belonging to Tenthredinidae family and Zelus (Diplodacus) renardii belonging to Reduviidae family were obtained. It was determined for the first time that Z. renardii, a polyphagous predator, fed on A. viennensis. In addition, Z. renardii is the first record for Diyarbakır insect fauna.

Viene confermata la presenza in Italia di Pinalitus conspurcatus (Reuter, 1875), che risulta nuovo per la Sardegna. Precedentemente era noto solo di Sicilia. Il suo rinvenimento nel mese di novembre coincide probabilmente con la fioritura tardiva del carrubo (Ceratonia siliqua L.).

This is the first record in Switzerland. In 2003 another 22 specimens were found in those traps.-In February 2004 two egg clusters of C. arcuata from summer 2003 were found on fallen oak leaves in a mixed stand near Chiasso, Southern Switzerland. The oak lace bug probably reached the Swiss Canton of Ticino in 2001 or 2002, immigrating from Lombardy (Italy). In Italy the oak lace bug was introduced at least several years ago. The first record from Italy dates from spring 2000.-Morphology, behaviour and damage of C. arcuata are similar to those of the well known sycamore lace bug C. ciliata (Say), another American lace bug that was introduced to Europe, and that feeds on leaves of Platanus. A key to the most common species of Corythucha from North America is provided.

Differences between C. fieberi and C. saundersi (Puton, 1874) are discussed. A new host plant is presented for this Ponto-Mediterranean zoophytophagous species.

Si nutre, in particolare, su frutti e semi e le punture di alimentazione provocano danni (deformità, discromie, cicatrici, macchie, suberifi cazioni della polpa) che rendono i prodotti non commerciabili, ma possono causare anche infezioni secondarie, oltre a danni post-raccolta. Negli USA è diventata un fitofago chiave per i frutteti a partire dal 2010, quando si sono registrati danni per oltre 37 milioni di dollari (Leskey et al., 2012).

It was based on a short but intensive collecting trip made in April-September 2014-2016. Eighty species were reported, many firstly recorded for collecting sites. From these species, 1 species belonging to each of the Ochteridae, Nabidae, Tingidae, Artheneidae, Blissidae, Heterogastridae families, 10 species belonging to Miridae family, 7 species belonging to Reduviidae family, 6 species belonging to Coreidae family, 10 species belonging to Rhopalidae family, 2 species belonging to each of the Alydidae, Berytidae, Geocoridae, Cydinidae and Scutelleridae families, 17 species belonging to Lygaeidae family, 11 species belonging to Pentatomidae family and 3 species belonging to Pyrrhocoridae family were obtained. The most of these species are new record for these locations.
