description: Using data collected by the Belle II experiment during 2018 at the SuperKEKB collider, we perform the first searches for the invisible decay of a $Z^{\prime}$ in the process $e^+ e^- \to \mu^+ \mu^- Z^{\prime}$ and of a lepton-flavor-violating $Z^{\prime}$ in $e^+ e^- \to e^{\pm} \mu^{\mp} Z^{\prime}$. We do not find any excess of events and set 90$\%$ credibility level upper limits on the cross sections of these processes. We translate the former, in the framework of an $L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}$ theory, into upper limits on the $Z^{\prime}$ coupling constant at the level of $5 \times 10^{-2}\div1$ for $M_{Z^\prime}\leq 6$ GeV/$c^2$.
