Abstract

The brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855) is reported in the province of Barcelona for the first time. Now locations are a hundred kilometer southwards from the first report in the Iberian Peninsula. An alert is made due to the economic importance that this plant pest species has on field, fruit and vegetable crops. Nuisance to people when insects congregate inside buildings to overwinter is not negligible either.
