Abstract

First recorded at the Russian territory in 1987, Molipteryx fuliginosa (Uhler, 1860) was considered a rare species in the south of the Russian Far East. But in 2012 this insect appeared in mass in Spasskii and Anuchinskii districts of Primorskii Krai, damaging raspberry crops. This species should be added to the list of possible agricultural pests at the Russian Far East; monitoring of its abundance and distribution is required.
