Sažetak
Psyllids or jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Psylloidea) are a relatively small group of insects. Some 4000 species have been described so far, classified in seven families. Due to their smally body size they often go unnoticed on their host plants. Not many psyllid species are known as plant pests, but they have recently gained attention as vectors of some very harmful plant pathogens. Field survey of psyllid fauna in Croatia started in 2015, with an aim to compile a check-list of psyllid species, with an emphasis on detecting new, previously unrecorded species, together with their host plants. Adult psyllids were collected with entomological fine mesh sweeping net or by beating of branches on a white tray. Entomofauna was subsequently collected with a mouth aspirator and deposited into 70% ethanol until laboratory identification. Species were identified following classical identification methods based on morphological characteristics of adults and male, rarely female, genitalia, using identification keys available from the literature. During the period 2015-2021 following species from the family Psyllidae were recorded for the first time in Croatia: Diaphorina chobauti Puton, 1898, Arytaina genistae (Latreille, 1805), Cacopsylla brunneipennis (Edwards, 1896), Cacopsylla myrthi (Puton, 1876), Cacopsylla saliceti (Foerster, 1848), Livilla variegata (Löw, 1881), Psylla foersteri Flor, 1861 and Psylla hartigii Flor, 1861.
