Abstract

Within the fanunistic investigation on ornamental plants in 2014, two new aphids were recorded in Croatia: crape myrtle aphid Sarucallis kahawaluokalani (Kirkaldy 1906) and tulip -tree aphid Illinoia liriodendri (Monell 1879) (Masten Milek et al., 2015; Pintar et al., 2015). In further investigation, during 2014 and 2015, crape myrtle aphid was found in Poreč, Rovinj, Šibenik, Dubrovnik, Turanj, Sakarun - Dugi Otok, Dubrava-Šibenik and Vela Luka - Kor čula. It feeds on ornamental plants from Lagerstroemia (L.) and Lawsonia (L.) genera. Aphid originates from Southeast Asia but has spread throughout the world. Tulip-tree aphid feeds on Liriodendron tulipifera (L.). It originates from North America. Aphid has been spreading across Europe and Asia. Till now, in Croatia it has been recorded only in Poreč. Crape myrtle aphid and tulip-tree aphid are alien to Europe (DAISIE, 2009).
