First record of a polyphagous Ricaniid pest, Pochazia shantungensis (Chou & Lu, 1977) from the Carpathian Basin (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Ricaniidae)

Abstract Pochazia shantungensis (Chou & Lu, 1977), an alien species of Asian origin is reported from Hungary as well as from the Carpathian Basin for the first time as the first representative of the family Ricaniidae. The current distribution of the species is provided. The species may pose a potentially serious phytosanitary risk in the countries where it had been established. The Hungarian status of the species is dubious; however, it can possibly become established in the Hungarian fauna.
