%X Most Eucalyptus species are endemic to Australia, although a few were introduced into Turkey and neighbouring regions of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the 18th century. According to the most recent national inventories, there are over 20.000 ha of eucalyptus plantations in Turkey. Seven Australian insects have recently been found on eucalyptus seedlings and trees in several parts of Turkey, in recently conducted surveys between 2000 and 2008. Of these, six are phytophagous and one is a parasitoid.The phytophagous species are: the eucalyptus gall wasp (Leptocybe invasa, Fisher and La Salle, 2004), the leaf blade gall wasp (Prelim. maskelli, Ashmead, 1900), the eucalyptus seed capsule wasp (Quadrastichodella nova Girault, 1922 (Hym.: Eulophidae), the eucalyptus longhorned borer (Phoracantha semipunctata F. (Col: Cerambycidae), the eucalyptus shoot psyllid (Blastopsylla occidentalis Taylor (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), and the gum-tree flower thrip (Thrips australis (Bagnall, 1915) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). Among these phytophagous species, economically important pests are L. invasa, O. maskelli, P. semipunctata, and B. occidentalis. The parasitoid Closterocerus chamaeleonis attacks the larva and pupae of O. maskelli. A maioria das esp¨¦cies de eucalipto s o origin¨¢rias da Austr¨¢lia, embora algumas tenham sido introduzidas na Turquia e pa¨ªses vizinhos no final do s¨¦culo XVIII. De acordo com o ¨²ltimo invent¨¢rio nacional, existem mais de 20.000 ha de planta  es de eucalipto na Turquia. Prospe  es efetuadas entre 2000 e 2008 detetaram sete esp¨¦cies de insetos origin¨¢rios da Austr¨¢lia em sementes e ¨¢rvores de eucalipto, em v¨¢rias regi es da Turquia. Seis destas esp¨¦cies s o fit¨®fagas, nomeadamente: Leptocybe invasa (Fisher and La Salle, 2004), Ophelimus maskelli (Ashmead, 1900), Quadrastichodella nova Girault, 1922 (Hym.: Eulophidae),Phoracantha semipunctata F. (Col: Cerambycidae), Blastopsylla occidentalis Taylor (Hemiptera Psyllidae) e Thrips australis (Bagnall, 1915) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). De entre estas, as pragas mais importantes s o L. invasa, O. maskelli, P. semipunctata e B. occidentalis. A s¨¦tima esp¨¦cie detetada ¨¦ o parasit¨®ide Closterocerus chamaeleonis, encontrado a atacar larvas e pupas de O. maskelli.
