Provides an overview of Sycamore lace bug (Corythucha ciliata Say) and Oak lace bug (C. arcuata Say) based on literature data and monitoring during the period 2018-2022. The species have been present in insect fauna of Serbia over the past fifty years and ten years, respectively. Lace bugs are significant pests of sycamore and oak trees. Their damage manifests itself as premature desiccation and drop of leaf mass (premature defoliation), reducing air quality benefits of trees in urban areas and diminishing aesthetic function. Additionally, tissue injury and loss of nutrients can affect longevity of mature trees and reduce woody mass yield. Presents information on origin and geographic range, biology, damage and control of lace bugs.
