Remarks. Species of West Palaearctic origin ( Yus-Ramos et al. 2014), now cosmopolitan. Bruchus pisorum is monophagous on peas ( Pisum sativum ) and it is a major pest of pea crops in Australia, Europe, North Africa and North America ( Reddy et al. 2018) . Seidlitz (1891) provides one of the oldest mentions of its presence in Romania.
