| description | This paper provides the first record of the large brown cicada Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata (Motschulsky, 1866) in Slovakia. This cicada species is native to Japan, Korea and China. An adult and several exuviae were found near the city of Martin, in Vrútky and Dražkovce in August 2022. The nymphs were introduced to Slovakia with white pine (Pinus parviflora Siebold & Zucc.), imported in pots from the Czech Republic. The pine trees were originally purchased in Japan, where G. nigrofuscata is one of the most common cicada species. The nymphs had been developing at the locations in Slovakia for about 5 years. Based on the number of exuviae, it can be assumed that the population was large enough for the cicadas to produce a new generation. Many potted plants from Japan are popular trees, and many companies buy them directly in Japan, so it is possible that the cicada G. nigrofuscata will gradually start to appear more often in the European region. |
