Abstract

Corythauma ayyari (Drake, 1933) (Heteroptera: Tingidae) is reported for the first time in the Iberian Peninsula. Four specimens were collected in Puigmoltó (Sant Pere de Ribes, Barcelona, Spain), 45 km southwest of Barcelona city. This Oriental invasive species may become pest causing necrosis on the leaves of its host plant species, usually ornamental plants, among which jasmine (Jasminum sp.) is the most common.
