Abstract: In 2006–2014 research on the phytophagous insects of ornamental woody plants (trees and shrubs) was carried out in various urban areas, which are located in west part of the Slovak Republic. During research was found on ornamental woody plants 437 species and 5 varieties of animal pests. From that number the alien species accounted 59 species. During years 2006–2014 were recorded 16 new alien pest species for Slovakia. The highest number of alien species in Slovakia comes
from Asia area (23 species). Many species expand to Slovakia also from North America (18 species) and Mediterranean (15 species). The least number of alien species comes from Africa. Two recorded alien species have unknown origin. From the all recorded alien pest species the orders Hemiptera (25 species) and Lepidoptera (15 species) accounted the highest number. Many invasive and introduced pest species better adapted to temperature amplitude in Slovakia and they find optimal conditions to reproduction.
