Abstract

The subfamily Bruchinae includes the majority of alien to Europe Chrysomelidae. Up-to-date, seven alien seed-beetle species have been collected from Cyprus affecting ornamental plants and stored products. During the last decade Stator limbatus (Horn, 1873), a New World species has been gradually reported invading Middle-Eastern countries and Mediterranean islands. In this publication, S. limbatus is recorded for the first time from the island of Cyprus. Specimens were collected from Ficus microcarpa, Eucalyptus sp. and Delonix regia, with the later species being confirmed as a suitable host for S. limbatus. The alarming presence of S. limbatus in both urban and protected areas raises some questions about any adverse effects on native biodiversity and socioeconomic parameters. The general lack of knowledge regarding the Bruchinae fauna of Cyprus hampers research endeavours for possible agonistic behaviour between native and alien species for resources and host-plants.

文章标题塞浦路斯外来种甲虫定子缘甲虫首次记录(鞘翅目，金蝇科，Bruchinae)

金凤花亚科包括大部分外来到欧洲的金凤花科。最近，从塞浦路斯收集了七种影响观赏植物和储存产品的外来种甲虫。在过去的十年中，一个新的世界物种定子limbatus (Horn, 1873)逐渐被报道入侵中东国家和地中海岛屿。在本出版物中，首次记录了来自塞浦路斯岛的S. limbatus。采集了小叶榕树、桉树和王龙ix的标本，确定后者是limbatus的适宜寄主。在城市和保护区中令人担忧的边缘杉的存在引发了对当地生物多样性和社会经济参数的不利影响的一些问题。对塞浦路斯Bruchinae动物群的普遍缺乏了解，阻碍了对本地和外来物种之间争夺资源和寄主植物的可能的竞争行为的研究。
