From 2005 – 2008 in the cities Nitra, Topoľcany, Komarno, Partizanske, Prievidza, Piesťany and Trnava research into mining insect species was carried out. The aim of the research was to monitor mining insects on allochthonous and autochthonous woody plants in urban environments. In total 118 species, 15 families and 4 orders of mining species were found. The richest abundance had the Gracillariidae (38), Nepticulidae (25) and Agromyzidae (16) families. The largest number of insect species was recorded on host woody plants from the Betulaceae (24), Fagaceae (22), Rosaceae (17) and Salicaceae (13) families and the Quercus (18), Betula (14) and Populus (8) genera. We found 14 non-indigenous species for Slovakia. The migration of some alien insects on autochthonous woody plants has been confirmed.
