Özet
Biology of the invasive species Pochazia shantungensis (Chou & Lu, 1977), already detected in the Western Palaearctic in 1977, is studied in two areas of Istanbul, Türkiye, on both sides of the Bosphorus. The species overwinters at the egg stage and has two generations per year. The number of host plants identified in this study is 57 (belonging to 31 families). With previous studies, the number of host plant species in Türkiye has reached 58. The main host plants were Ligustrum lucidum W. T. Aiton and Olea europaea L. Eggs are laid in double rows in the thin twigs of shrubs or trees of one-year old, exceptionally in the main vein on the lower leaf surface of Magnolia grandiflora L. The mean number of eggs laid on L. lucidum and O. europaea were 31.88 and 21.80, respectively. Mean length of egg masses was 17.90 and 15.36 mm and mean twig thickness was 2.21 and 2.20 mm, respectively, on L. lucidum and O. europaea. Zelus renardii (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) was identified as a predator of P. shantungensis. © 2023 Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved.
