Abstract

Boxwood (Buxus sempervirens) is a host for several mite and insect pests, but the species of plant-parasitic psyllid Spanioneura fonscolombii has been observed in Romania for the first time in 2017. Subsequent research has shown that the species is much more spread, our data confirming its presence in western, eastern, and southern Romania. This is also the most south-eastern record of the species in Europe.
