During the summer-autumn researches made in Krasnodar region (Apsheronsky district, Greater Sochi) and in the Republic of Adygea (Maykopsky district) in 2018 there was recorded a development of an invasive North American oak lace bug (Corythucha arcuata) which occurred in the region in 2015, steadily expanding its range on woody (Quercus spp., Castanea sativa, Corylus avellana, Salix caprea, Acer platanoides, Alnus glutinosa subs. barbata, Alnus incana, Malus sp., Crataegus sp., Diospyros kaki) and herbaceous plants (Rubus caesius, Inula helenium), belonging to 8 botanical families. The data obtained indicate a much wider potential polyphagy of this dangerous insect, possessing the status of a quarantine pest, which was known from foreign publications.
