ABSTRACT
The Nearctic coreid Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann 1910 (Hemiptera: Coreidae) known as the Western Conifer Seed Bug, is recorded for the first time in Greece. This highly dispersible species is well established in Europe and was collected by the authors in various areas of continental Greece (Central Evia, Attica and North Peloponnisos), suggesting a wide distribution in this country.
KEYWORDS: Leptoglossus occidentalis, distribution, invasive species.
Introduction even whole plant material such as Christmas trees (Mitchell 2000). The species Leptoglossus occidentalis Adults of the insect are large (circa 17 (Heteroptera: Coreidae) was described for mm [15 mm – 20 m]) and have characteristic the first time by Heidemann (1910) in leaflike expansions on metatibias. A California. The genus is distributed in the diagnostic feature of the species is a light Nearctic and Neotropical Region and zigzag ‘W’ mark in the center of the consists of 54 species. The native range of forewings next to the basal part of this species extends from Mexico and membrane. The color of imagoes is light California in the south to British Columbia, brown or reddish-brown, and in some Alberta, and Saskatchewan (Heidemann individuals dirty grayish brown.

The more similar to L. corculus although the current distribution of the range is presented metatibial expansion is more extended in the in Table 1 and the species is considered latter (Mjøs et al. 2010). Leptoglossus invasive, intercepted by passive movements occidentalis feeds on the cones of conifers of commercial consignments (McPherson et and can cause severe damage in pine al. 1990). The major transport pathways are orchards in North America. It is univoltine. eggs in sawdust, wood material or seed Eggs are laid in spring and adults appear in sources for culturing trees in nurseries or late August though in Greece we have collected adults in the interval May-October.

The major host plants of the insect are number of generations is also speculated on conifers, mainly pines and to a lesser degree the seasonal distribution of occurrences of other coniferous species such as this invasive insect. Pseudotsuga menziesii, even though other hosts in the genera Juniperus, Tsuga, Picea, Materials and Methods Cedrus, Calocedrus have also been reported, raising the number of host plants to forty The distribution of L. occidentalis in Greece (Koerber 1963, Cambell and Shea 1990, Lait was thoroughly studied by collecting et al. 2001, Mjøs et al. 2010).

ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Το νεαρκτικό κορεοειδές έντομο Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann 1910 (Heteroptera: Coreidae) γνωστό ως «έντομο των σπερμάτων των δυτικών κωνοφόρων», αναφέρεται για πρώτη φορά στην Ελλάδα. Αυτό το πολύ διαδιδόμενο έντομο έχει σαφώς εγκατασταθεί στην Ευρώπη και έχει συλλεγεί σε πολλές περιοχές της ηπειρωτικής Ελλάδας (Κεντρική Εύβοια, Αττική, Βόρεια Πελοπόννησος) πράγμα που φανερώνει την ευρεία εξάπλωση του εντόμου στην χώρα αυτή.
