Abstract
Epitrix hirtipennis (Melsheimer, 1847) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Alticini), a leaf beetle native to North America, is recorded for the first time from Hungary. Several specimens were found on tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) plantations in the eastern and central parts of the country. Its life cycle and importance as a tobacco pest are briefly discussed.
