Abstract
A new species of chrysomeline leaf beetle, Paropsisterna selmani Reid & de Little, is described, including all larval in-stars. This species, native to Australia, is now a significant pest of Eucalyptus plantations in Australia and Ireland, and has been recorded in southern England. Its occurrence in the British Isles represents the first record of establishment of a eucalypt feeding chrysomelid in Europe.
摘要
一种新的叶甲科叶甲虫——塞尔曼氏拟叶甲（Paropsisterna selmani Reid & de Little）被描述，包括其所有龄期的幼虫。该物种原产于澳大利亚，现已成为澳大利亚和爱尔兰桉树林种植园的重要害虫，并且在英格兰南部也有记录。它在不列颠群岛的出现代表了一种取食桉树的叶甲科昆虫在欧洲首次有建立种群的记录。
