The tropical bed bug Cimex hemipterus (Fabricius, 1803) was reliably detected in Belgorod in 2020 for the first time. Specimens were collected in dormitories for foreign students at both Belgorod State National Research University and Belgorod State Technological University named after V.G. Shukhov. Retrospective analyses of specimens collected in earlier years reveal that Cimex hemipterus was already present in Belgorod in 2013, and subsequently ousted the cosmopolitan species Cimex lectularius Linnaeus, 1758 which inhabited the area earlier.
