This paper presents the cecidological collection held in the zoological collection of the Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb. The collection was assembled by Vlasta Mužny as part of her graduate thesis research in 1953. Most of the galls were sampled in the vicinity of the town of Nova Gradiška, in continental Croatia. In total, 56 galls were recorded, induced by insect species belonging to the orders Hymenoptera, Hemiptera and Diptera, and by Acari. Most of them are well preserved, and Contarinia cybelae Gagné, 1972, is new to Croatia. This collection is one of the few publicly available zoocecidia collections in Croatia stressing the importance of preserving natural history collections within university departments. By making this collection accessible, it can support further research in taxonomy, systematics, and conservation.
