Alien land planarians have been recorded in most of Europe and, in Italy, in 17 out of 20 regions. In this work, after collecting new data through a citizen-science approach, we report for the first time the presence of at least one alien planarian species in Molise, Basilicata, and Aosta Valley and we update the distribution range provided in our previous work. Amongst new sites, alien planarians were also found on a small island in Southern Italy, Pantelleria, which is included in a National Park rich in endemic species, thus deserving particular attention. Moreover, we report the first record of Dolichoplana striata in Italy. The increase of distribution range of alien planarians in Italy needs to be tightly monitored, as these introduced worms are responsible for impacts on native soil biodiversity. Accordingly, an e-mail address has been created ad-hoc (planarieitaliane@gmail.com) to collect all the records and to keep the distribution of alien species updated.

In this paper, we investigated hundreds of specimens within the Agapanthia kirbyi (Gyllenhal, 1817) with the aim of finding relevant discrepancies in the Western and Southeastern populations. Amongst the species, the most diverse characters are body shape and pubescence color; however, based on the different geographical distribution it is possible to classify it into three different subspecies. One of these subspecies is new and is described below as Agapanthia (Synthapsia) kirbyi samai new subspecies. We also consider the characters used to create the Genus Synthapsia by Pesarini & Sabbadini (2004) not sufficient for a genus rank but at least for a subgenus rank (new status) due to the fact that other species close to A. kirbyi (Agapanthia hirsuticornis) shows intermediate characters between Synthapsia and Agapanthia. We also formalize the following new synonym: A. kirbyi ssp. zawadskyi Fairmaire, 1866 (name resurrected, new combination) = A. kirbyi ssp. valandoensis Sláma 2015 (new synonym) on the base of many specimens studied from the type localities of both the Taxon. In addition, the occurrence of A. kirbyi (Gyllenhal, 1817) is ascertained in Italy; in fact, eleven specimens were reported in the Matese Mountains, central-southern Apennines, between the years 2019 and 2021. This extends its known distribution into southern Europe and further confirms the important biogeographical role of this mountainous territory.

Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli, 1763) was recorded for the first time in Circeo State Forest (SAC IT6040014) by volunteers participating at the LIFE ESC360 Project “360 volunteers for monitoring forest biodiversity in the Italian Natura 2000 Network”. This finding is the result of several surveys started in 2018 that have been carried out using different sampling methodologies, including a conservation detection dog. Two male specimens of O.eremita have been collected in summer 2021, by the use of black cross windows traps baited with the species pheromone. This record provides new information on the scattered distribution of this species in the Latium Region and confirms the biodiversity value of Circeo State Forest. Furthermore, this result corroborates the importance of cooperation between non-experts and scientists, i.e. citizen science. This approach is essential to carry out monitoring programmes aimed at assessing the conservation status of protected species. Meanwhile, it allows to involve, educate, and raise awareness among non-experts, resulting in the establishment of a general positive mindset and attitude towards forest biodiversity.

Faunistic studies on pests are always needed to update checklists of species in a country and enlighten the emergence of new potential species. A survey was carried out on the scale insect fauna of citrus and associated natural enemies in an organic orchard from the north-eastern of Tunisia (Zaghouan province). The occurrence, incidence, dominance and biodiversity parameters for each scale insect species were recorded. Samples of infested fruits, leaves and twigs (8 400 samples and 416 053 coccids) were collected at random from the citrus grove during three years (2017, 2019 and 2021). Eight scale insect species belonging to four families were identified: Aonidiella aurantii Maskell (1879), Parlatoria ziziphi Lucas (1853) (Diaspididae); Planococcus citri Risso (1813) (Pseudococcidae); Ceroplastes floridensis Del Guercio (1900), Coccus hesperidum Linnaeus (1758), C. pseudomagnoliarum Kuwana, Saissetia oleae Olivier (1791) (Coccidae) and Icerya purchasi Maskell (1878) (Monophlobidae). The eudominant species was P. ziziphi, presenting the highest densities (98.8%) during all the period of survey. The other coccids were classified as subrecedent species. The natural enemy fauna was limited to two coccidophagous species of ladybirds; Chilocorus bipustulatus Linnaeus (1758) which was the most dominant species and Rodolia (Novius) cardinalis Mulsant (1850).

This alien species gradually colonized woods and urban areas in Latium and subsequently moved northward in Tuscany and Abruzzo, and southward in Apulia. The scale was responsible for severe damages on the Stone Pine Pinus pinea L., a conifer representing an element of great importance in the Italian landscape and included in the Area Natura 2000 Network for its significant naturalistic interest. Heavy attacks of T. parvicornis on P. pinea cause a progressive defoliation on the canopies, and the plants quickly decline and are often irreversibly compromised. Such severe symptoms prompted studies for seeking control strategies with a low environmental impact that are suitable in urban areas. In this context, the National Reference Institute for Plant Protection was commissioned by the Italian Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies to verify the potential of endotherapic methods against T. parvicornis. The effect of abamectin distributed by trunk injection technology (Nuovo Metodo Corradi®) was experimentally evaluated from April to October 2021 in a park in Rome (Central Italy) on 72 pine trees that showed strong and homogeneous scale infestations. 0.9 ml of a commercial product containing abamectin at 18.37 g/l concentration was injected per cm of plant diameter at breast height (dbh) through holes that were 6 mm in diameter and 6-7 cm in depth. This treatment provided an efficient control of T. parvicornis infestations on the pine trees throughout the growing season. The presence of mature females on the one-years-old twigs significantly decreased in treated pines from April to July (about 2 females/twig on average) and to October (about 1.8 females/twig) compared to the control untreated pines (about 40 and 14 females/twig in July and October, respectively). These results showed that a single endotherapic treatment with abamectin can efficiently reduce the populations of T. parvicornis at low density levels at least 25 weeks after the trunk injection. The treated pines also visibly appeared to recover from the severe infestation symptoms and no injury and bark lesions ascribable to the trunk drilling were observed.
