First record of Dictyophara pannonica (Germar, 1830) (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Dictyopharidae) in Tyumen Oblast, Western Siberia

The desert-steppe planthopper Dictyophara pannonica (Germar, 1830), widespread in the Palaearctic but previously known in Western Siberia only from Altai Krai (Barnaul vicinity), was collected for the first time in the South of Tyumen Oblast during August 2023. The specimen was found in a saline Artemisia-graminoid meadow in the forest-steppe zone. It represents a significant range extension for this species and alters current understanding of the species’ distribution in Siberian ecosystems.
