Abstract

For the first time, an invasive species of barbel beetles Phoracantha recurva Newman, 1840 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is given for the territory of Cyprus. The species has a native range in Australia, but after eucalyptus (Eucalyptus), with which it is trophically related, it was introduced to almost all regions of the world, including the Mediterranean.
