Abstract

During the years 2009–2020 we investigated the complex of phytophagous arthropods of robinia trees (Fabaceae: Robinia spp.) under conditions of green stands on the territory of all 5 regions of introduction of woody and shrubby plants in Belarus. The complex includes 11 species of arthropods. The major contribution to the taxonomic structure of the complex is made by representatives of hemipterous (Insecta: Hemiptera) and lepidopterous (Insecta: Lepidoptera) insects – 36.36% and 27.27% of the total number of species, respectively. The basis of the stable complex (core) includes at least 6 North American species of insects, alien for the fauna of Belarus: cowpea aphid (Aphis craccivora Koch, 1854), black locust aphid (Appendiseta robiniae (Gillette, 1907)), black locust blotch leafminer moth (Macrosaccus robiniella (Clemens, 1859)), locust digitate leafminer moth (Parectopa robiniella Clemens, 1863)), false acacia sawfly (Nematus tibialis Newman, 1837), black locust gall midge (Obolodiplosis robiniae (Haldeman, 1847)). Four of them (A. craccivora, M. robiniella, O. robiniae, P. robiniella) were classified as the most harmful phytophages of false acacia trees under the conditions of Belarus.
