description: <i>Rhagoletis completa</i> Cresson, 1929 (figs 5, <i>1</i>, 7, <i>3</i>) <i>Rhagoletis suavis</i> ssp. <i>completa</i> Cresson, 1929: 412; <i>Rhagoletis completa</i>: Bush, 1966: 488; Merz, 1991: 56; 1994: 109; White &amp; Elson-Harris, 1992: 359; Norrbom et al., 1999: 200; Verheggen et al., 2017: 1. Material. <b>USA</b>: Washington: Asotin Co., Clarckston, ex <i>Juglans regia</i>, 17.10.1982, 1 Ơ, 17.10.1983, 1 Ơ, 2 &amp;female;, 30.10.1988, exit 5.08.1989, 2 &amp;female; (W. J. Turner) (det. J. Jenkins) (SIZK). No European material was available during this study. Distribution. Austria, Croatia, France, Hungary, Germany, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland (Verheggen et al., 2017); Canada, USA. Ho s t pl ant s. <i>Juglans nigra</i> L., <i>J. microcarpa</i> Berl., <i>J. hirsuta</i> Manning, <i>J. major</i> (Torr.) Heller., <i>J. regia</i> L., <i>J. californica</i> S. Watson, <i>J. hindii</i> Rehd., <i>J. regia</i> L. (Smith &amp; Bush, 1999). Remarks. According to Verheggen et al. (2017), invasive European populations of the walnut husk fly initially were recorded from Switzerland and Italy (1988–1991). This species has subsequently established in least seven additional countries in Europe, but still has not reached the limits of its potential distribution, mainly by natural adult dissemination and adult hitchhiker behavior, and, to a lesser extent, transportation of larvae in fresh fruits. When the fly is uncontrolled, 100% of walnut trees can be infested, and losses in walnut yields may be up to 80 %. Under phytosanitary control, the negative effect can be reduced to less than 10% yield loss. There is a strong need for <i>R. completa</i> monitoring across European countries. In Ukraine, it is expected to invade the Transcarpatian Region.
