The mistletoe associated psyllid Cacopsylla visci (Curtis, 1835) (Homoptera, Psyllidae) in Norway
Norwegian Journal of Entomology 53 (2), 89-91
Abstract: 50 specimens of Cacopsylla visci were reared from a branch of mistletoe (Viscum album) collected on the small Oslofjord island of Mølen at Hurum, E Buskerud (BØ); July 1990. Attacks were also observed in July 1999, and both adults and nymphs (IV-V) were observed in early May 2000, which indicates that the species may hibernate in these stages. This is the first Fennoscandian records of the species and represents most probably a new northern limit for the species.
