Dear colleagues,

I am involved in preparation of a book chapter on the Southern green stink
bug Nezara viridula (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) and responsible for
overview of N. viridula (1) distribution in Asia and (2) its current impact
on agriculture in Asia.

As literature on this species is huge, I am a bit confused on how to
accomplished this task. There must be some review publications (maybe in
grey literature) on the situation in the region (Asia or its parts), and
there is no need to do the same work again and again with the huge number
of local publications - there will be enough just to cite appropriate
recent publications.

I know the CABI data on Nezara viridula (
http://www.cabi.org/isc/datasheet/36282) and plan to use/cite it.

I see also this page: http://www.cabi.org/isc/abstract/20056600027 , which
is relevant to this reference:
CABI/EPPO, 1998, Nezara viridula. Distribution map of plants pest. Map
no.27. 2nd revision. Wallingford, UK, CAB International.
--- although I cannot see the map of 1998 itself.

My questions are:

- Does anyone have access to the above reference (CABI/EPPO, 1998, Nezara
viridula. Distribution map of plants pest) in a digital or paper form and
can share it with me?

- Does anyone have any regional/global summaries/reviews/reports on N.
viridula, from which I can get data on the species' distribution and its
current impact on agriculture in Asia (or any of its part)?

- Can anybody recommend any other comprehensive information resources or
separated recent important publications on this topic?

Of course, everything will be properly cited and acknowledged.

Thank you very much in advance,

With seasonal greetings,

Dmitry.
