abstract = "Perillus bioculatus (F.) (Heteroptera: Pentato-       -midae), a predator of North American (Nearctic) origin, was recently found in the European side of Turkey. This species is mainly a predator that is the natural enemy of chrysomelids. It is known that this species has a significant potential in the biological control of Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). In a survey conducted in Sivaslı district of Usak Province in 2017, P. bioculatus individuals were detected for the first time in Anatolian side. The individuals were collected on the poplar plant. In later observations, it has been seen that some individuals are fed on larvae of Poplar leaf beetle, Chrysomela populi L. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), which is harmful to the poplar plant. Thus, for the first time, Poplar leaf beetle was added among the hosts of this predator",
