Un nouvel insecte exotique en France continentale : première mention de Siphanta acuta (Walker, 1851) et nouveaux éléments sur les populations introduites attribuées à cette espèce (Hemiptera, Flatidae)

A new exotic insect in mainland France: first record of Torpedo Bug Siphanta acuta (Walker, 1851) and new insights into introduced populations attributed to this species (Hemiptera Flatidae). Siphanta acuta is reported for the first time from France. Habitus and genitalia are illustrated. The species is compared with Acanalonia conica (Say, 1830), another recently introduced invasive species with which it can be confused. A comparison of the DNA barcodes of the French specimens with those from Portugal, the Azores, Australia and other countries, highlights misidentifications of invasive Siphanta populations around the world.
