AbstractWe report here for the first time the presence ofOphelimus mediterraneussp. n. in Mediterranean Europe. This species appears to be closely related toOphelimus maskelli, a well-known invasive pest ofEucalyptus. Based on molecular (cytochrome oxidase I, 28S), morphological (multivariate ratio analysis) and bio-ecological investigations, our study gives unambiguous relevant criteria that allow the discrimination between these two species. A full description ofO. mediterraneussp. n. is also provided. The geographic distribution ofO. mediterraneussp. n. as well as its impact onEucalyptusspecies needs to be more widely assessed since its presence may have been confused withO. maskelliin their sympatric introduced areas. Further investigations of potential parasitoids in the native area may thus be welcomed to evaluate classical biological control achievability.

In the late 1970s, Brazilian peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi (Sapindales: Anacardiaceae), was targeted for classical biological control in Florida because its invasive properties (see Host Plants) are consistent with escape from natural enemies (Williams 1954), and there are no native Schinus spp. in North America. The lack of native close relatives should minimize the risk of damage to non-target plants from introduced biological control agents (Pemberton 2000). [...]
