The Clown Stink Bug, Poecilocoris lewisi (Distant, 1883) (Heteroptera, Scutelleridae) in the South of the Russian Far East

Data on the clown stink bug, Poecilocoris lewisi (Distant, 1883) (Heteroptera, Scutelleridae), from the southern Russian Far East are presented. Information on the northern localities of its distribution range is summarized, and a brief overview of its biology is given. The study is based on the collection material and the authors’ data for 1999–2024. A map of collection sites in Primorskii Territory is provided. Information on the local plant species that constitute the food supply for the bug—Fraxinus mandshurica Rupr., Syringa wolfii C.K. Schneid. (Oleaceae), Juglans mandshurica Maxim. (Juglandaceae), and Acer negundo L. (Sapindaceae)—has been collected. The documented feeding of P. lewisi on Alangium platanifolium (Siebold & Zucc.) Harms, a plant of the family Alangiaceae DC, is a new contribution to the knowledge of the species’ diet.
