Abstract

Ellipsocoris kalashiani is recorded for the first time in Apulia (Southern Italy). The specie was described by Carapezza (2009) from Eastern Turkey and Western Armenia, but no records have ever been reported for Europe. Recently, few individuals of this species were found in Alta Murgia National Park (Apulia, Italy), a Special Protection Area (SPA) and Site of Community Importance (SCI), characterized by natural forests and dry grassland habitats, with Mediterranean-steppe vegetation. The specimens were collected in two different localities, about 40 km apart from each other, suggesting a long-standing presence in that area. This study provides the first report of the species for the Italian Heteroptera fauna and several hypotheses about its presence there. However, further investigations are needed in order to clarify some ecological aspects, such as its unknown host plant.

欧洲kalashiani Ellipsocoris Carapezza 2009新记录，发现于意大利普利亚(异翅目:盾翅甲科)

kalashiani Ellipsocoris首次在意大利南部的普利亚(Apulia)被记录。Carapezza(2009)在土耳其东部和亚美尼亚西部描述了该物种，但在欧洲从未有过记录。近年来，在意大利阿普利亚的Alta Murgia国家公园(Alta Murgia National Park, Apulia, Italy)发现了该物种的少量个体。该公园是一个特殊保护区(SPA)和重要的社区(SCI)，以天然森林和干草地生境为特征，具有地中海草原植被。这些标本是在两个不同的地方收集的，彼此相距约40公里，表明该地区长期存在。本研究首次报道了意大利异翅目昆虫区系的种类，并提出了其存在的几种假设。然而，还需要进一步的研究以澄清其生态方面的问题，如未知的寄主植物。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research (JEAR), formerly the Bollettino di Zoologia Agraria e di Bachicoltura of the Institute of Entomology of the Università degli Studi, Milano, was founded in 1928 by Remo Grandori. Thereafter, Minos Martelli and Luciano Süss hold the direction of the Journal until December 2011. In January 2012 the Editor decided for the new open-access on-line version of JEAR. The Journal publishes original research papers concerning Arthopods, but reviews, editorials, technical reports, brief notes, conference proceeding, letters to the Editor, book reviews are also welcome. JEAR has four main areas of interest: -Entomology (systematics; morphology; biology; biotechnology; agriculture, ornamental and forest entomology; applied entomology; integrated pest management; biological control; apiculture and apidology; medical, urban and veterinary entomology; etc.) -Stored product pests (biology; integrated pest management; etc.) -Insect Ecology (behaviour; biodiversity; taxonomy; plant insect interaction and ecosystems; biological control; alien species; etc.) -Acarology (systematics; morphology; biology; parasitology; control; etc.) The publication of manuscripts is subject to the approval of the Section Editor who has knowledge of the field discussed in the manuscript in accordance with the principles of Peer Review; referees will be selected from the Editorial Board or among qualified scientists of the international scientific community. Articles must be written in English and must adhere to the guidelines and details contained in the Instructions to Authors.
