We studied the fauna of the jumping plant-lice and their natural enemies in the broader area of Belgrade in the period of 2005–2009. The specimens of Psylloidea collected in the field were usually brought to laboratory conditions for further analysis and breeding, together with plant material and predators. The latter included also some adults of predatory Heteroptera which were collected from the colonies of the Psylloidea and their larvae which were further reared on the Psylloidea larvae in Petri dishes under laboratory conditions until they reached an identifiable adult stage. The identification was based on REUTER (1883), WAGNER (1970/71, 1973), PÉRICART (1972) and KERZHNER et JOSIFOV (1999). The voucher specimens are presently stored in the Entomological Collection of the Natural History Museum in Belgrade. Among the representatives of the Heteroptera determined as predators of jumping plant-lice, there were also two species from the Miridae family, Deraeocoris flavilinea (A. Costa) and Hypseloeucus visci (Puton), which are recorded here for the fauna of Serbia for the first time.
