Abstract
The Serbian fauna of Heteroptera is increased by four new species from the family Tingidae. These species are: Catoplatus fabricii (St?l), Copium teucrii teucrii (Host), Derephysia cristata (Panzer), and Dictyla convergens (Herrich-Schaeffer). The paper also includes a summary of literature data on the heteropteran biology and distribution.
Highlights
The family Tingidae is represented in Serbia with 50 species
Two species distributed in Serbia are of economic importance: Corythuca ciliata (Say) and Stephanitis pyri (Fabricius), and special research has been devoted to them (Bogavac, 1964; Balarin et al 1979; Tomić and Mihajlović, 1974)
Four of them are new for the Serbian Heteroptera fauna: Catoplatus fabricii (Stål), Copium teucrii teucrii (Host), Derephysia cristata (Panzer), and Dictyla convergens (Herrich-Schaeffer)
