Introduction

Between 2001 and 2009, 8 expeditions were taken to Croatia. There were 82 different collecting sites in Istria Peninsula and Northern Dalmatian Coast, The major part of the collected specimens was caught by the author and his wife, Mrs. Maria Józan. Dr. Levente Abrahám and Mr. Zoltán Héra also collected some bees and wasps.

Altogether 527 species of 9 families were collected. In the historical Hungarian literature (before 1920), 440 species were mentioned from this area captured in the Northern Dalmatian Coast and the surroundings of the Kvamer gulf Bajári (1956, 1957), Bajári & Móczár, L. (1954), Móczár, L. (1956, 1958, 1995), Móczár, M. (1953, 1955, 1956, 1958а, 1958b, 1958с, 1959, 1961а, 1961 b). Móczár, L. & Schwarz (1968, 1970), Móczár, L. & Warncke (1972). 440 species were recorded from this area which were captured in the Northern Dalmatian Coast and in the surroundings of the Kvarner gulf. Further faunistical data from this region are presented in various monographs (Ducke 1900, Friese 1896, 1897, Pulawski 1971, etc.) and papers (Ebmer 1988, Gusenleitner 1996, Petersen 1988, Schwarz 1967, Tkalcú 1974, Warncke 1978, etc.). For checking the new records for Croatia, the Fauna Europaea database was consulted (Noyes 2007).

Psen exaratus (Eversmann, 1849) (Sphecidae), Anthidium grohmanni Dahlbom, 1854, Ceratina dentiventris Gerstaecker, 1889, Chelostoma styriacum Schwarz & Gusenleitner, 1999, Coelioxys obtusa Pérez, 1884, Eucera dalmatica Morawitz, 1872, Eucera eucnemidea Dours, 1873, Eucera parvula Smith, 1854, Osmia campanularis Morawitz, 1877, Osmia perezi Fertőn, 1895, Lasioglossum bischoffi (Bliithgen 1931), Stelis minuta Lepeletier & Serville, 1825 (Apidae) are new records for the Creation fauna.
