Sažetak

Three species of alien phytophagous true bugs and one that is expanding the area of its distribution (Corythucha ciliata, Leptoglossus occidentalis Tuponia brevirostris and Oxycarenus lavaterae) present in Croatia are discussed in this paper. For each species, information about the distribution in the European continent, the distribution within Croatia, feeding habits and damages caused is given. None of the identified species represents an economic threat to agricultural
or forestry production in Croatia, although the species L. occidentalis
shows a potential for being an economically important pest due to its rapid expansion and successful breeding in Europe. Considering the upward trend of the introduction of alien true bug species in Europe, we can expect the entry and distribution of new alien species of true bugs in Croatia in the future.
