Fauna of hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae)  in eastern Croatia is insufficiently known. First study of fauna of hard ticks in eastern Croatia was conducted during 1955 (Mikačić 1968). During that study in Baranja, only D. marginatus was found (Mikačić 1968). After twelve years, during 1967, on locality Kapelački Lug using the flag dragging method,  D. reticulatus was collected (Vesenjak-Hirjan and Šooš 1976). More recent samplings of hard ticks on the area of eastern Croatia were carried out in 2011 on localities Đakovo, Mikleuš and Zmajevac. During these screenings H. concinna, Ixodes hexagonus Leach, 1815 and I. ricinus were recorded for the first time on the area of eastern Croatia (Krčmar 2012, Teni 2012). Present study of the fauna of hard ticks in the surroundings of the city Beli Manastir resulted in five identified species, four of them already confirmed in previous studies in eastern Croatia. Ixodes ricinus is the most abundant species of hard ticks sampled in the surroundings of the city of Beli Manastir. Majority of specimens of this species were sampled in the forest of
