    The nearctic leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus Ball (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), main vector of the flavescence dorée (FD) phytoplasma, was detected for the first time in Montenegro in August 2008. Adults were identified using yellow sticky traps in a single vineyard on the locality Šušunja in the Podgoricki subregion - a largest viticulture subregion of Montenegro. In the following years (2009-2011), surveys were conducted in order to confirm the presence and determine the distribution of S. titanus in the grape-growing regions of Montenegro. Altogether 12 vineyards were examined in different viticultural subregions. Regarding presence of S. titanus nymphs, down side of the oldest grapevine leaves were visually inspected from mid-May to mid-June. Adults were collected from the beginning of July to the end of August by means of sweep nets and yellow sticky traps. Results of the monitoring showed spreading of S. titanus in Montenegro in years after its first detection and confirmed its presence in 8 out of 12 inspected vineyards. Out of the first detection site the farthest occurrence of S. titanus was detected near border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, in a locality Nudo, around 330 m above sea level in the Grahovsko-Nudolski subregion.
