Costa, 1862) is recorded for the fi rst time in Hungary. All in-dividuals were collected from the canopies of Acer pseudoplatanus, A. platanoides and A. campestre.

For a long time it was thought to be an endemic species (Rabitsch 2008), howev-er, one century later, in 1961 D. fl avilinea was collected in Corsica and from the 1980s it was recorded from several countries in Europe such as Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Denmark, Luxemburg, Belgium etc. (Fig. 1) (Chérot 1998, Göllner-Scheiding 2001, Miller 2001, Günther 2002, Gillerfors & Coulianos 2005, Kment et al. 2005, Gogala 2006, Rabitsch 2008, Reichling & Gerend 1994, Schembri 1993, Dusanka et al. 2011, Nikolay et al. 2013). Its range is expanding eastwards; the current easternmost record of distribution is from Bulgaria (Simonov et al. 2013). A photograph taken in North Poland by G. Gierlasinski on 13 July 2013 (see http://www.entomologiitaliani.net/public/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=48803, accessed 6 December 2014) proves that D. fl avilinea has also invaded Poland.Deraeocoris fl avilinea has one generation per year and overwinters in egg stage (Trigrianni 1973, Wachmann et al. 2004, Dusanka et al. 2011). Most of the * Th e paper is dedicated to Dr László Móczár, doyen of the Hungarian hymenopterists, celebrating his 100th birthday.** Corresponding author.Á, Varga, D. Korányi, A. Haltrich & V. Markó10Folia ent. hung. 75, 2014individuals were collected from the canopies of trees, mainly from Acer, but also from Tilia, Fraxinus, Corylus, Crataegus and Malus (Wachmann et al. 2004, Kondorosy et al. 2010). As other Deraeocoris species (Dusanka et al. 2011, Wachmann et al. 2004), D. fl avilinea is zoophytophagous, generally feeding on aphids, but according to some reports it preys on eggs of true bugs, larvae of whitefl ies and jumping plant lice too (Simonov et al. 2013, Trigrianni 1973). In Hungary 11 species of Deraeocoris Kirschbaum, 1856 are known to occur so far (Kondorosy 1999).DERAEOCORIS FLAVILINEA IN HUNGARYTh e true bug communities in the canopies of three Acer species (A. campest-re, A. platanoides and A. pseudoplatanus) were surveyed in diff erent locations in Budapest, Hungary: Alkotás street (N 47° 29’ 22.9” E 19° 01’ 30.9”), the Botanical Garden of Corvinus University (CUB Arboretum, N 47° 28’ 49.4” E 19° 02’ 16.1”), Elek street (47° 28’ 49.7”N 19° 01’ 54.9”E), and Gellért Hill (N 47° 29’ 07.9” E 19° 02’ 50.6”). Regular samples were taken with a beating tray in 2014, and hetero-pterans were identifi ed using keys by Wagner & Weber (1964).Fig. 1. Spread of Deraeocoris fl avilinea (A. Costa, 1862) in Europe from 1861 to 2013 (source: http://www.youreuropemap.com/blank_europe_map.gif )First record of Deraeocoris fl avilinea in Hungary 11Folia ent. hung. 75, 2014Among the collected 2624 heteropterans, 60 specimens were identifi ed as D. fl avilinea (Fig. 2). Th ese are the fi rst records of the species in Hungary. Most of the specimens were collected from A. pseudoplatanus (44 specimens), followed by A. campestre (8 specimens) and A. platanoides (8 specimens), where they mainly preyed on maple aphids, Periphyllus spp.Th e activity peak of D. fl avilinea was experienced in June, and the sex ratio was female biased (38 ³³ vs. 22 ²²). Other Deraeocoris species in the same sam-ples were Deraeocoris lutescens Schilling, 1837 (298 ³³, 159 ²²) and Deraeocoris ruber Linnaeus, 1758 (1 ³).Collected individuals are deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum and in the insect collection of the Department of Entomology, Corvinus University of Budapest.Material examined (only adults) – Acer pseudoplatanus: Alkotás str., 18.V.2014, 2 ²², 1.VI.2014, 1 ³, 16.VI.2014, 1 ³; CUB Arboretum, 1.VI.2014, 5 ³³, 29.VI.2014, 1 ³; Gellért Hill, 1.VI.2014, 13 ²², 15 ³³, 16.VI.2014, 4 ²², 2 ³³.
