THE LEAFHOPPERS OF THE GENUS HAUPTIDIA (HEMIPTERA, AUCHENORRHYNCHA, CICADELLIDAE) LITTLE KNOWN PESTS OR ORNAMENTAL PLANTS AND VEGETABLES IN CROATIA AND SLOVENIA

Cvrčak Hauptidia distinguenda (Kirschbaum) nova je vrsta za faunu Hrvatske i Slovenije. U slobodnoj prirodi, u vrtovima i na balkonima u Zagreba ljeti 2003. god. ta je vrsta uzrokovala znatna oštećenja na surfinijama i ukrasnoj rajčici. U Slovenskom primorju takva oštećenja u zaštićenom prostoru na jaglacima uzrokovala je vrsta H. provincicilis (Ribaut). S obzirom da se radi o novim potencijalno štetnim vrstama u zaštićenom prostoru i na vanjskim površinama kod nas, u članku su obrađene morfološke razlike izmedu tri vrste roda Hauptidia, izgled i intenzitet šteta koje mogu izazvati.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
