Abstract: The recent finding of a living specimen of the Ponto-Mediterranean assassin bug
Nagusta goedelii (Kolenati, 1857) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae:
Harpactorinae) from the city of Prague, Czech Republic, is reported. This is a
new record for the Czech Republic and the northernmost record of this species.
However, we rather suppose that this finding is the result of an accidental
introduction with trade, and that the species is probably not yet established in
the Czech Republic.
Key words: Heteroptera, Reduviidae, faunistics, alien species, accidental introduction, Bohemia, Czech Republic
