Abstract
Abstract. The invasive pyrrhocorid bug, Scantius aegytpius (Linnaeus, 1758), was first reported in the United States from California in 2009, and the authors now report its spread to neighboring Arizona for the first time and analyze its distribution within the state. Vouchered physical specimens and photographic records confirm the presence of the species in Maricopa and Yavapai Counties, and photographic records additionally suggest the presence of the species in Coconino County. Notes regarding the biology and seasonality of the species are included, along with discussion on the usefulness of the community science resources iNaturalist and BugGuide for tracking the spread of some newly emergent invasive species.
期刊介绍:
The Pan-Pacific Entomologist (ISSN 0031-0603) is published quarterly (January, April, July and October) by the Pacific Coast Entomological Society, in cooperation with the California Academy of Sciences. The journal serves as a refereed publication outlet and accepts manuscripts on all aspects of the biosystematics of insects and closely related arthropods, especially articles dealing with their taxonomy, biology, behavior, ecology, life history, biogeography and distribution. Membership in the Pacific Coast Entomological Society includes subscription to The Pan-Pacific Entomologist, and Society Proceedings typically appear in the October issue of each volume.
