Eurystylus bellevoyei (Reuter, 1879) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae), first records from Sardinia and Corsica

Abstract

Eurystylus bellevoyei (Reuter, 1879) is a widely distributed Afro-Asiatic mirid species that has expanded into the Mediterraneanregion in recent decades (Stonedahl, 1995; Matocq & Streito, 2013). In Italy, it was previously recorded only from Sicilyand the adjacent islands (Servadei, 1967; Carapezza, 1981; Carapezza, 1993). The species is recorded here for the first time fromSardinia and Corsica. These records confirm its ongoing expansion across the Mediterranean basin.
