Abstract
Since the first European observation in 2015 of Erthesina fullo (Thunberg, 1783) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Halyini) in Albania in the region of Durrës and Tirana, observations have remained limited to this 40 km wide region. The number of observations of E. fullo increased significantly in this region in 2023 and 2024. For the first time, we mention the presence of an adult and a nymph in Greece. The specimens were observed in October 2024 in Rio in the Peloponnesus near the port of Patras.
