The lacewing Chrysoperla nigrocapitata Henry, Brooks, Johnson, Haruyama, Duelli et Mochizuki, 2015 (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae) was rstly recorded from Russia in 2021. The paper provides information on the biology, trophic associations, phenology, and habitats of Ch. nigrocapitata in the south of Primorskii Territory. Feeding of mature larvae of Ch. nigrocapitata on the young larvae of the bugs Coreus marginatus orientalis (Kiritshenko, 1916) and Molipteryx fuliginosa (Uhler, 1860) (Heteroptera, Coreidae) with weakly sclerotized cuticle, as well as on the sap of the common raspberry Rubus idaeus L. (Rosaceae) fruits was observed. Under laboratory conditions, observations were made on the development of the larvae from the eggs until the emergence of adults. Duration of Ch. nigrocapitata pupal development in a cocoon ranged from 11 to 7 (m = 9.5 ± 0.56) days at an average daily air temperature of +18.7 to +27.8 oC (m = 23.2 ± 1.21 oC) (n = 6).
