Heteropteran fauna of Serbia has increased by six newly recorded species: Macrolophus costalis Fieber, 1858, Macrolophus rubi Woodroffe, 1957, Charagochilus spiralifer Kerzhner 1988, Maurodactylus albidus Kolenati, 1845, Phoenicocoris dissimilis (Reuter, 1878), and Plesiodema pinetella (Zetterstedt, 1828). All of them belong to the family Miridae

FIRST RECORD OF DIMORPHOCORIS BEIERI WAGNER 1965 (HETEROPTERA: MIRIDAE) IN SERBIA

A new species for the fauna of Serbia - Dimorphocoris beieri Wagner, 1965, was caught on the Veliki Strešer, the highest peak of the Mount Vardenik. The species is endemic to the Balkan Peninsula, and in addition to Serbia, it has also been recorded in Montenegro on the Mount Durmitor (Wagner 1965, 1973; Protić et al. 1990). In addition to this, another species of the same genus was recorded in Serbia - D. saulii Wagner, on the Mount Stolovi (Protić, 2016)

GENUS GEOCORIS FALLÉN (HETEROPTERA: LYGAEIDAE) IN SERBIA AND ADJACENT REGIONS

Genus Geocoris is represented in Serbia by nine species: Geocoris (Geocoris) arenarius (Jakovlev), Geocoris (Geocoris) ater (Fabricius), Geocoris (Geocoris) dispar (Waga), Geocoris (Geocoris) grylloides Linnaeus, Geocoris (Geocoris) lapponicus (Zetterstedt), Geocoris (Geocoris) lineola (Rambur), Geocoris (Geocoris) megacephalus (Rossi), Geocoris (Geocoris) pallidipennis (Costa) and Geocoris (Piocoris) erythrocephalus (Lepeletier & Serville). Geocoris (Geocoris) pallidipennis (Costa) is a new species for the fauna of Serbia

SPECIES OF THE FAMILY LEPTOPODIDAE (HETEROPTERA) IN SERBIA

Erianotus lanosus (Dufour, 1834) was collected for the first time in Serbia. Leptopus marmoratus (Goeze, 1778) is the other species from the Leptopodidae family that has been found in Serbia to date. In Europe, four species of the family Leptopodidae are distributed: Erianotus lanosus (Dufour), Leptopus hispanus Rambur and Leptopus marmoratus (Goeze) and Patapius spinosus (Rossi)

Novi podaci o predatorima lisnih buva (Heteroptera: Miridae)

U Srbiji do sada nije bilo faunističkog proučavanja lisnih buva i njihovih prirodnih neprijatelja. Jedino su proučavani prirodni neprijatelji kruškinih lisnih buva - Cacopsylla pyri i C. pyrisuga (PAVIĆEVIĆ, 1977; GRBIĆ et al., 1989; JERINIĆ-PRODANOVIĆ et al., 2010). Među predatorima se navodi nekoliko vrsta Heteroptera iz familija Anthocoridae i Miridae, a GRBIĆ et al. (1989) navode još i Nabis pseudoferus Remane iz familije Nabidae. U ovom radu obrađene su dve vrste predatora lisnih buva iz familije Miridae. Deraeocoris (Deraeocoris) flavilinea (A. Costa, 1862) je nova vrsta za faunu Srbije. To je mediteranska vrsta u ekspanziji. Do 1965. bila je poznata samo na Siciliji, a posle proširuje svoj areal prvo u Italiji, Francuskoj, a sada je rasprostranjena u gotovo svim evropskim državama (KERZHNER, I. M., JOSIFOV M. 1999). U našim istraživanjima D. flavilinea je utvrđena na pet vrsta lisnih buva: Cacopsylla bidens, Homotoma ficus, Trioza rhamn, Psyllopsis discrepans i Ps. machinosa. Hypseloeucus visci (Puton) je odgajena sa jedne vrste lisne buve Cacopsylla visci. Prema raspoloživoj literaturi, Hypseloeucus visci do sada u svetu nije utvrđena kao predator lisnih buva. Ovom istraživanjima je prvi put utvrđena kao predator lisnih buva i novi je član faune Heteroptera Srbije

True bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) as psyllid predators (Hemiptera, Psylloidea)

Data on natural enemies of psyllids are rare and can usually be found in papers about economically significant species. During an investigation of psyllid fauna in Serbia, natural enemies were investigated, too. True bugs were the most numerous among them. From 28 psyllid species, 21 species of true bugs from families Anthocoridae and Miridae were reared. Seven species of Anthocoridae were identified: Anthocoris amplicollis (Horvath, 1839), A. confusus Reuter, 1884, A. nemoralis (Fabricius, 1794), A. nemorum (Linnaeus, 1761), Orius majusculus Reuter, 1884, O. minutus (Linnaeus, 1758) and O. niger Wolff, 1811. The following 14 species of Miridae were identified: Atractotomus mali Meyer-Dur, 1843, Campylomma verbasci (Meyer-Dur, 1843), Deraeocoris flavilinea (A. Costa, 1862), D. ruber (Linnaeus, 1758), D. lutescens (Schilling, 1836), Heterocordylus genistae (Scopoli, 1763), Hypseloecus visci (Puton, 1888), Malacocoris chlorizans Panzer, 1794, Miris striatus (Linnaeus, 1758), Orthotylus marginalis Reuter, 1884, Psallus assimilis Stichel, 1956, Ps. quercus Kirschbaum, 1856, Ps. flavellus Stichel, 1933 and Pseudoloxops coccinea (Meyer-Dur, 1843). The aim of the research was to provide list of true bugs recorded as predators of psyllids in order to preserve their diversity and significance, especially on cultivated plants

Water bugs (Heteroptera) in the catchment area of River Sitnica (Serbia)

This paper includes the first study of the distribution of Heteroptera in the ecologically highly threatened catchment area of Sitnica River. It is the only recipient for large amounts of waste water which alter its ecological characteristics. There were 12 species of aquatic and semiaquatic bugs recorded in 88 samples: Nepa cinerea Linnaeus, Corixa punctata (Illiger), Sigara (Pseudovermicorixa) nigrolineata (Fieber), Sigara (Retrocorixa) limitata (Fieber), Sigara (Sigara) striata (Linnaeus), Sigara (Subsigara) iactans Jansson, Sigara (Vermicorixa) lateralis (Leach), Notonecta (Notonecta) glauca Linnaeus, Notonecta (Notonecta) viridis Delcourt, Aphelocheirus (Aphelocheirus) aestivalis (Fabricius), Mesovelia furcata Mulsant & Rey, Velia (Plesiovelia) caprai Tamanini. Sigara (Subsigara) iactans is a new species for Serbian fauna. Among the collected specimens three species stood out: Sigara (Sigara) striata, Sigara (Subsigara) iactans and Aphelocheirus (Aphelocheirus) aestivalis.This paper includes the first study of the distribution of Heteroptera in the ecologically highly threatened catchment area of Sitnica River.

PERILLUS BIOCULATUS (FABRICIUS) (HETEROPTERA: PENTATOMIDAE) IN SERBIA

In 1996, in order to study flora and vegetation the members of the science-expert expedition to the Prokletije Mt. - locality named Djeravica, collected  specimens of Perillus bioculatus (Fabricius, 1775), a new species for the fauna of Serbia. This is the third point in the distribution of P. bioculatus (F.) in the Balkan Peninsula: Bulgaria (Stara Planina Mt., Maleshevska Planina Mt.), Greece (Larissa), Serbia (Prokletije, Mt.)
