Abstract
The leafhopper Hauptidia distinguenda (Kirschbaum) is a new species to the fauna of Croatia and Slovenia. In 2003 its appearance outdoors, in gardens and on the balconies in Zagreb region led to the remarkable injuries on tomato and Surfinia plants. In Slovenian coastland identical injuries on indoor primroses have been caused by the species H. provincialis (Ribaut). Since they are new potential pests of cultivated plants in greenhouses and gardens, comparative morphological characteristics of three species of the genus Hauptidia are given. The type of injuries and damage on cultivated plants are also discussed.
