Abstract. The article presents long-term data from research work on the study of dendrophilous phyllophages in green spaces of different types and categories in the urbanized territory of Volgograd. At each site (test sites in the plantings of the Mamayev Kurgan memorial complex, the park named after Yu.A. Gagarin, public gardens on the embankment named after the 62nd Army, named after V.I. Glazkov near the main building of Volgograd State University, plantings along the 64th Army street), three model sites were laid out, on which five to seven main woody plants (Populus alba, Populus nigra, Populus pyramidalis, Ulmus pumila, Ulmus laevis, Ulmus glabra, Pinus sylvestris, and Robinia pseudoacacia) were examined. It has been established that the taxonomic composition of the phyllophages of the main tree species in the plantings of Volgograd includes 6 species of mites and 102 species of insects from 83 genera, 29 families, and 6 orders. Economically dangerous phyllophages include 19 species of harmful insects and 9 species of less significant ones. Species of phyllophages have been identified whose responses to negative environmental factors can be used to monitor the condition of urban plantings. The formation of a community of arthropod pests in plantings of different ecological categories is influenced by species composition, air pollution, and the degree of recreational load.
Key words: dendrophilous entomofauna, phyllophages, green spaces, urban ecosystems, Volgograd region.
