The research has lasted for 5 years (2006 to 2010) and potential host
plants in continental, submediterranean and mediterranean parts of Croatia
were researched. For each invasive species found a prognosis for their future
spread and damages is given according to their biology, ecology, researches
on natural enemies and data from the literature.


Seven (7) insects species from the orders Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera
and Hemiptera were found and they can be cosidered as alien or invasive
species in Croatian forest ecosystems (Table 1). For each insect species a host
plant, locality where the insect was found and prognosis of damage on the
scale from 1 to 4 (1-no influence on host plant, 4-serious forest pest) is given.


Parectopa robiniella, Phyllonorycter robiniella, Phyllonorycter issiki, Obolodiplosis
robiniae, Leptoglossus occidentalis, Metcalfa pruinosa, Dryocosmus
kuriphilusare alien or invasive insects established in Croatian forests.
Introduction and spread of these species and their intensity of occurence has
been very similar to the same pattern of spread and occurence in other Euro-
paean countries. Several other invasive species on woody ornamental plants
in urban areas have also been recorded in Croatia: Phyllonorycter leucographella,
Dasineura gleditchiae,Argyresthia thuiella, Cameraria ohridella, Anoplophora
chinensis.


Knowledge on insect origin, biology, ecology, pathways of introduction
and spreading are very important for providing pest risk analysis and making
relevant prognosis of dangers that a new pest is posing for forest ecosystems.
