Asteraceae (Achillea millefolium L., Achillea salicifolia Besser., Carduus sp., Cichorium sp.,
Cirsium setosum (Wild.) M.B., Echinops sphaerocephalus L., Erigeron sp., Hieracium sp.,
Matricaria sp., Picris sp., Sonchus oleraceus L.,), Apocynaceae (Vincetoxicum hirundaria
Medik.), Campanulaceae (Campanula sibirica L.), Cannabaceae (Cannabis sativa L.),
Caprifoliaceae (Cephalaria transsylvanica (L.) Schrad. ex Roem. & Schult., Scabiosa
ochroleuca L.), Caryophyllaceae (Silene multiflora (Ehrh.) Pers.), Euphorbiaceae
(Euphorbia sp.), Fabaceae (Melilotus officinalis L.), Lamiaceae (Ballota nigra L., Salvia
dumetorum Andrz. ex Besser), Plantaginaceae (Veronica longifolia L.), Rosaceae (Potentilla
sibirica Th. Wolf) [2, 4, 10, 20, 23, 42, 44]. We found adult beetle of A. leucaspis on the
stem of Galium aparine L. (fig. 1A). However, we have no reasons for assert that G. aparine
is food plant for larva nor for imago.
A. leucaspis life circle duration is one year. Female lay one egg into previously made nick
on the stem of the host plant. Larva emerges from the egg and starts actively feeding by the
stem tissues gradually migrating to the root collar. It is unclear whether the larva or pupa is
wintering. Adults appeared in May and active to June.

Conclusions

In summary, we reported the first interception of A. leucaspis on East margin of
Pannonian Plane in Western Ukraine. We assume that appearance of A. leucaspis in the
region is the results of its areal expanding due to the recent climate changes. We also clarify
the biogeographical position and bionomical features of A. leucaspis.
