Abstract
New records on five species of alien insects from north-eastern Italy.
In recent years, several alien insect species have settled in several European countries, including Italy. In certain cases, some of them have become invasive. This paper presents new data on the occurrence of five alien species of recent introduction in north-eastern Italy: Acanalonia conica, Antispila oinophylla, Cydalima perspectalis, Drosophila suzukii and Carpophilus lugubris. A. oinophylla is here reported as new species for the Udine district, C. perspectalis as new for the Udine and Gorizia districts; D. suzukii, that has already been observed some years ago, has not yet been reported for the Friuli Venezia Giulia region.
