Abstract

With the present study Otiorhynchus armadillo (Rossi, 1792), which is one of several noxious species in Europe, and is first recorded from Anatolia (the Asian part of Turkey) as well as the Asian Continent. The species was recently recorded from the European part of İstanbul. Important morphological features were noted, habitus, aedeagus and feeding damages of the adults on some host plants were photographed. Distribution and damage potential of this species are discussed. Otiorhynchus armadillo can be considered an important ornamental plant pest, particularly on Rosa species in the country. Unfortunately, it has a big potential being a destructive pest for the rose growing area in Isparta, which is also known as “Rose Garden of the World”.
