Additional Norwegian records on the fungus Seifertia azaleae (Peck) Partr. \& Morgan-Jones (Ascomycota, Dothideomycetes) causing the fungal disease known as bud blast that kills flower buds on Rhododendron L. spp. are given. Their biology and recent range expansion, and the ability of G. fennahi to vector S. azaleae is reviewed.

The North American species Belonochilus numenius (Say, 1832) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Lygaeidae: Orsillinae) was first recorded in Europe in 2008, and is now present in most of the countries of Southern and Central Europe. The first specimen of B. numenius in Serbia was found in 2011 in Sremska Kamenica; it was later recorded in Zasavica, Mokrin and Novi Sad.

The distribution in Spain of Zelus renardii, an American invasive species, is analyzed after eight years of its introduction. New hypotheses are presented about its introduction in Europe and its forms of expansion. In Spain, the species seems to have limited its expansion to anthropogenic and urban areas of thermo-Mediterranean-type climate regions and his area of distribution is currently limited to the coastal regions of the Iberian east and south, from the city of Valencia in the north to M\álaga in the south. The world distribution of the species is shown and discussed.

Over the years, Cryptolaemus montrouzieri Mulsant (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) has been used in both classical and augmentative biological control programmes. The ladybird is also considered important in certain conservation biological control programmes. This paper provides a critical review of the literature pertaining to its biology, ecology and use, with a particular emphasis on potential impact on non-target organisms. C. montrouzieri has many of the attributes of an effective natural enemy, including a rapid development rate, high reproductive potential, good adaptation to a range of tropical and subtropical climates, high prey consumption rates by both adults and larvae and ease of rearing. The coccinellid has been introduced into at least 64 countries/territories to control more than 16 pest species. C. montrouzieri is a polyphagous predator that exploits hosts in at least eight hemipteran families. It is noteworthy that it has adapted to feed on new insect families in some new localities where it has been introduced. Although the wide host range has allowed its use against a variety of pest species, it is also a good indicator of the potential to feed on non-target species. In view of the continued interest to utilize the predator in new non-native localities, questions have arisen regarding its potential to cause negative impacts, especially against non-target organisms. Given the wide recorded host range, it seems unnecessary to conduct additional host range tests as significant decisions can be made based on the available information. Thus, when the available data are interpreted based on a centrifugal process, it is apparent that the ladybird has a potentially very broad host range. Therefore, even without additional studies, it would be reasonable to assume that the ladybird has the potential to extend its host range in unpredictable ways. Clearly, the beetle would provide a good model for conducting post-release studies, especially where the predator has been established for a long time. Such studies would not only provide insight into the impact of introducing generalist non-native coccinellid predators but also help to increase our understanding of the mechanisms limiting host range.
