Abstract
AbstractDuring official phytosanitary surveys for citrus pests, the Afrotropical citrus leafhopper, Penthimiola bella (Stal) (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae), was found in Andalusia (Southern Spain) and Madeira island (Portugal). This data and tracking of a photo sharing website show that P. bella has been present in the south and east of the Iberian Peninsula and on the island of Madeira since 2017 and 2022, respectively. The species was found throughout the year, mainly in or around citrus plots. Morphological description of adults and some biological notes are provided.
