This report documents the first records of the green lacewing Leucochrysa pavida (Hagen) in New Jersey. The collected specimens were a second instar larva from East Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey, two second instar larvae from Tuckahoe, Cape May County, New Jersey, and five second instar larvae from Villas, Cape May County, New Jersey. It is unknown whether these specimens represent a recent range expansion of a more southerly species or a species that was overlooked previously because of extreme crypsis and relatively small size.
