Distribution of L. gonagra (Fabricius, 1775) View in CoL

Beside Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann, 1910 , L. gonagra , commonly known as Passionvine Bug or Citron Bug, is one of the two species of the genus Leptoglossus which occur outside the Western Hemisphere ( Brailovsky & Barrera, 2004; Fent & Kment, 2011; Brailovsky, 2014). Its distribution extends through the United States of America, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Ecuador, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Argentina to Africa, Asia, Australia and the Pacific Islands ( Maes & Goellner-Scheiding, 1993; Packauskas, 2010; Fent & Kment, 2011; Brailovsky, 2014). It has not been reported from continental Europe ( Taylor et al., 2001) yet, but has reached the Canary Islands ( Heiss & Báez, 1990; Aukema et al., 2006; Fent & Kment, 2011).
