Leaf beetles.(Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) have not been sufficiently
studied in Serbia so far. The species of the family were investigated in
a protected area the Frugka Gora National Park (Vojvodina Province,
Northern Serbia) over the period of 11 years (2001-2011). Mt. Frugka
Gora is an isolated island mountain in the Pannonian Plain and is
characterized by a complex assembly of forest, meadow, shrubby,
grassland, cultivated land, wetland, and aquatic phytocenoses. At total
of 99 chrysomelid species from 42 genera and 11 subfamilies were
identified from the area. The data on nutritional preference of the
found Chrysomelidae species and host plants are given by own
observations in nature. Furthermore, economically important leaf beetle
species (i.e., forest and crop pests) are identified and briefly
discussed as well. The registered species can be classified into seven
chorotypes of Holarctic and three chorotypes of Europe according to
zoogeographical analysis.
