Cicada of the Cicadetta montana Scop. (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) complex is a warm-weather insect species. In the last several years, economically important pests have been recorded on blackberries in some regions of Serbia. Damage from cicadas indirectly causes decay of part of the crop. The complexity of control of this pest is also an important indicator of its danger to blackberry production in Serbia. Knowledge of this insect species in the country is currently based on literature. In 2016, attack by this pest was reported by some agricultural extension services in Serbia. The control of this pest is a very complex process. Positive results can be achieved only if all prevention and direct control measures are implemented in a timely manner.Cikada iz kompleksa Cicadetta montana Scop. (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) je toploljubiva insekatska vrsta. U poslednjih nekoliko godina su zabeležene ekonomski značajne štete na kupini u pojedinim regionima Srbije. Štetnost cikade se ogleda u tome što posredno izaziva propadanje dela prinosa. Složenost suzbijanja ove štetočine takođe je značajan pokazatelj opasnosti po proizvodnju kupine kod nas. Trenutno se kod nas o ovoj insekatskoj vrsti zna samo iz literature. U 2016. godini izveštaj o napadu ove štetočine podnele su i pojedine Poljoprivredne savetodavne i stručne službe Srbije. Suzbijanje ove štetočine je veoma komplikovano. Pozitivni rezultati se ne mogu očekivati ukoliko se pravovremeno ne primene sve preventive i direktne mere u suzbijanju pomenute štetočine
