The data of more than thirty years of observations of the temporal and spatial distribution of Molipteryx fuliginosa (Uhler, 1860) (Heteroptera, Coreidae) in the east of Russia are generalized. Previously known only from Southeast Asia, in 1998, it was recorded in Russia as new to the fauna. Its current range in the south of the Russian Far East has been specified; 51 localities of findings have been noted. The penetration of the bug into the local fauna was traced over the years. The invasion of this species poses a danger of the appearance of a new pest of cultivated Rosaceae in Primorskii krai and in the south of the Khabarovsk krai. Three stages of the species invasion into the fauna of the south of the Russian Far East have been identified: 1987–1992, rare single findings of a species new to the local fauna; 1993–2011, expansion of the bug’s range while maintaining a low number; 2012–2020, local outbreaks of numbers along with the expansion of the range on our territory.
