Abstract: The fig leafhopper, Ficocyba ficaria (Horváth, 1897) (Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae: Typhlocybini) was described from the coast of the Adriatic sea. Since then the species has been reported from several countries, primarily from the Mediterranean area of the Western Palaearctic Region. In the course of the current study the species was found at several locations in Hungary, indicating the presence of stable populations. An overview of currently known distribution of the species is provided. Recent records of the species including results of the present study indicate range expansion of the fig leafhopper.
