We collected adults and immatures on Elaeagnus angustifolia L., which is a confirmed host plant of T. neglecta ( Loginova 1978, Lauterer and Janíček 1990). Elaeagnus angustifolia is not native to the Bulgarian flora. It is planted intentionally as an ornamental plant, to stabilise dry and eroded areas and in shelter belts. It has naturalised and become invasive in many regions of Bulgaria ( Petrova et al. 2013).

Trioza neglecta is an alien species in the Bulgarian fauna. The first record from Bulgaria dates back to 1987 from the vicinity of a road between Antonovo and Kesarevo in the north-central part of the country ( Lauterer and Janíček 1990).
