Abstract: The occurrence and continuous spread of Scaphoideus titanus Ball (Hemiptera Cicadellidae) in the south-western part of Slovenia is well-known since 1983. Due to its significant roll in spreading of grapevine 'flavescence dorée' (FD), it has regularly been surveyed since 2002. In 2003 its first occurrence was confirmed in the eastern part of Slovenia too. In the following years it has rapidly spread all over the whole subpannonian winegrowing region of Slovenia. Now S. titanus is present in all three winegrowing regions of Slovenia. Its spread in the adjacent regions in Austria and Croatia as well as in the whole southern Pannonian edge from Serbia to Austria is also recorded. In 2005 the occurrence of FD was confirmed in Slovenia for the first time. Appropriate phytosanitary measures were undertaken in order to prevent the spread of FD by its vector S. titanus.
