Description

Perillus bioculatus (Fabricius, 1775) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Asopinae) is reported for the first time in Italy. Several specimens were attracted by the abundance of Ophraella communa LeSage, 1986 (larvae) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae) on Ambrosia artemisiifolia. The distribution of the species in Europe is summarised.
