Two Mediterranean Auchenorrhyncha species, the planthopper Latilica maculipes (Melichar, 1906) and the leafhopper Synophropsis lauri (Horváth, 1897) are reported for the first time from Hungary. With 2 figures.  Keywords. Auchenorrhyncha, alien species, faunistics, Acer, ornamental shrubs.   INTRODUCTION  he number of leafhopper and planthopper species reported from Hungary is continu-ously increasing, several species have just re-cently been recorded for the first time. Most of them are native of North America or Asia [e.g. Scaphoideus titanus Ball, 1932 and Orientus ishidae (Matsumura, 1902)] (Dér et al. 2007, Koczor et al. 2013), or are of Mediterranean ori-gin [e.g. Frutioidia bisignata (Mulsant & Rey, 1855) and Pagiphora annulata (Brullé, 1832)] (Orosz & Horváth 2009, Koczor et al. 2011). As a result of faunal surveys in Budapest, another two Mediterranean Auchenorrhyncha species are reported here for the first time from Hungary.   MATERIAL AND METHODS  The arthropod community of ornamental shrubs (Abelia, Lonicera and Viburnum spp.) was assessed in the Botanical Garden of the Szent István University (Botanical Garden Buda) in 2011 and 2012. In a subsequent study, the leaf-hopper and planthopper assemblages of field maple (Acer campestre L.) trees were also sur-veyed in different public areas of Budapest in 2016 and 2017.  Arthropods were collected by beating the branches of the sampled shrubs and trees over a beating umbrella. The collected individuals were preserved as dry specimens and deposited in the Hemiptera Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. All specimens were identified by A. Orosz using characters of the exoskeleton and male genitalia. Photographs of habitus were taken using a Nikon D5000 digital camera.  RESULTS AND DISCUSSION  Latilica maculipes (Melichar, 1906)  Material examined. Botanical Garden Buda (47°28'48.4"N 19°02'21.5"E), Lonicera x xylo-steoides, 17.VIII.2012, 1♀, leg. A. Haltrich & A.

It was also reported from Israel, Palestine, Jordan (Lin-nauori 1962), Cyprus, Greece, Turkey (Nast 1972), Southern France, Spain (Baleares Islands) (Dlabola 1975), Southern Russia (Logvinenko 1975, Gnezdilov 1999, Gnezdilov et al. 2014) and Slovenia (Seljak 2004).  Host. Very common on Mediterranean vege-tation, mostly evergreen trees and shrubs, e.g. e-  vergreen oak (Quercus ilex L.), cork oak (Q. suber L.), mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus L.), com-mon myrtle (Myrtus communis L.) and olive (Olea europea L.) (Linnavuori 1962, Mazzoni 2005).  Flight period. Based on our data, in Hungary, adults are active from middle of July to middle of October.   Habitus. Detailed description of the habitus of L. maculipes was provided by Melichar (1906) and furthermore, Gnezdilov & Mazzoni (2004) published the description of the genitalia of both sexes. Length of body 4.8–5.2 mm. The general appearance of the adult is shown in Figs. 1a–b.   Figure 1. Latilica maculipes (Melichar, 1906) female. a = dorsal view; b = lateral view. Scale bar = 1 mm.

Korányi.  Distribution. Synophropsis lauri was described from Croatia (Horváth 1897). It was also recorded from Greece, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Turkey, Azer-baijan, Ukraine (Nast 1972), France (Bonfils & Lauriaut 1975), Southern Russia (Gnezdilov  Korányi et al.: First records of Latilica maculipes and Synophropsis lauri in Hungary    73 1999), Slovenia (Holzinger & Seljak 2001), Switzerland (Mühlethaler 2001), Germany (Nick-el 2010), Belgium (Baugnée 2011), Malta (D'Urso & Mifsud 2012), Austria (Holzinger et al. 2016) and England (Bantock & Botting 2018).   Host. This species was described from speci-mens collected on bay laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) (Horváth 1897). In the Mediterranean region, S. lauri feeds on various evergreen trees and shrubs, in Central Europe, besides L. nobilis, common ivy (Hedera helix L.) seems to be the most suitable host plant (Nickel 2010). Based on our records, Viburnum species may also be suitable as host plants for this leafhopper species.  Flight period. In the studied areas, adults are active from middle of August to middle of Oc-tober.  Habitus. Description of the habitus was given by Horváth (1897) and Baugnée (2011). 6.0–6.5 mm. The general appearance of the adult is shown in Figs. 2a–b.  Comments. Up to now, S. lauri has been erro-neously listed for Hungary (Jach 2018). This species was originally described from Buccari (Bakar) and Fiume (Rijeka) by Horváth (1897). Now these settlements belong to Croatia.  The individuals of Latilica maculipes and Syn-ophropsis lauri were collected from green belt areas in urban environments. Both species might have been introduced to Hungary unintentionally, but considering the climatic variations of the last years, the possibility of a natural expansion of their distribution area could not be excluded. Further surveys are needed to explain their occur-rence and frequency in natural habitats.  The last checklist of leafhoppers and plant-hoppers of Hungary published by Györffy et al. (2009) listed 540 species. Since then several spe-cies have been added to the list: P. annulata (Koczor et al. 2011), Graphocephala fennahi Young, 1977 (Papp et al. 2012), Liguropia juniperi (Lethierry, 1876), Opsius smaragdinus Emeljanov, 1964 (Koczor et al. 2012), O. ishidae (Koczor et al. 2013) and Tautoneura polymitusa Oh & Jung, 2016 (Tóth et al. 2017). With the newly recorded L. maculipes and S. lauri currently 548 Auchenorrhyncha species are re-ported from Hungary. According to A. Orosz, as a result of different faunal collections (e.g. Hun-garian Biodiversity Days and the field program of 5th European Hemiptera Congress) there are some additional unpublished records of Auche-norrhyncha new to Hungary, and therefore, the presumed number of Auchenorrhyncha species in Hungary exceeds 560.
