TOPICS
ABSTRACT
Metcalfa pruinosa (Say, 1830) was recorded for the first time in Poland, in the city of Warsaw.
This Nearctic species of the Flatidae family was introduced into Europe in the late
1970s and has expanded its range ever since. We provide data on the first record as well as
briefly characterize the insect in terms of its diagnostic features, biology and potential harm
to agriculture and the environment.
