Abstract


The North American tachinid fly Trichopoda pennipes (Fabricius, 1781) is a parasitoid species introduced in Europe as a consequence of its use in the control of pest bugs such as Nezara viridula (Linnaeus, 1758). After the capture of two specimens in Alicante municipality (Spain) an exhaustive revision of all bibliography and information at online databases on this species were carried out with the aim of studying its distribution and phenology in the Iberian-Balearic context. The number of 10 × 10 UTM squares where T. pennipes is found increases up to 90% with respect to what has been published to date, with a great majority of photographic records in relation to other kind of data (82:7). The Iberian Peninsula becomes the best-known European region in terms of this exotic-species distribution and phenology. Once again, photographic databases and citizen science have proven relevant to biodiversity knowledge.
