This paper presents partial results of research on the terrestrial invertebrate fauna of small isolated natural habitats in the territory of Banat (Vojvodina, Serbia); only Heteroptera are discussed.

The examined material included one species new to the fauna of Serbia: Rhyparochromus (Panaorus) adspersus (Mulsant & Rey); and five species new to the fauna of Banat: Acetropis carinata (Herrich-Schaeffer), Lygus gemellatus (Herrich-Schaeffer), Macrotylus horvathi (Reuter), Adelphocoris seticornis (Fabricius), and Stenodema laevigata (Linnaeus).
