First record of Psylla buxi (L., 1758) (Hemiptera, Psylloidea) from Luxembourg
EPPO Bulletin 50 (2), 271-276
Abstract: The ornamental use of boxwood (Buxus sempervirens L.) is threatened by the gall-forming psyllid Psylla buxi (L.) (Hemiptera, Psylloidea). Individuals of P. buxi were found as well as its symptoms for the first time in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in several locations, which indicates that this pest species has spread and is already established on boxwood across the country.
