Notes

Stelidota geminata is an relevant pest of strawberries in North America ( Weiss and Williams 1980, Loughner et al. 2007). This species is expanding rapidly all over the world and, in Europe, it was reported at first in the Azores in the 1980s ( Israelson 1985) and then in several continental countries ( Jelínek et al. 2016, Guéorguiev 2018, Stan 2019, Wojas 2022). In Italy, it seems acclimatised since the second half of the 1990s ( Ratti 2002), where it has been recorded as phytosaprophagous ( Pezzi 2013), but also as a concurrent source of damage on cultivated strawberries ( Pansa et al. 2014, author's personal observations).
