Abstract

The data on two new species for the Croatian fauna and one new species for the fauna of Bosnia and Herzegovina are given. Caenocoris nerii (Germar, 1847) represents a new genus and species for both countries, while Tropidothorax sternalis (Dallas, 1852) is recorded for the first time in Croatia. In addition, two new host plant species of C. nerii are reported, namely Cynanchum acutum L. and Periploca graeca L. (Apocynaceae), not previously mentioned as its hosts in the scientific literature.
