Four species are reported for the first time in Croatia: <em>Rhodostrophia discopunctata</em>, <em>Dryobotodes servadeii</em>, <em>Spodoptera littoralis, and Xylocampa mustapha</em>. For three additional species, we provide either the first recent records or evidence of significant range expansion: <em>Thysanoplusia daubei</em>, <em>Ctenoplusia accentifera,</em> and <em>Tathorhynchus exsiccata</em>. One species, <em>Enterpia laudeti</em>, is newly recorded for Montenegro, while six species are newly documented for Bosnia and Herzegovina: <em>Pachypasa otus</em>, <em>Ochropleura leucogaster</em>, <em>Hadena adriana</em>, <em>Xylocampa mustapha</em>, <em>Plusidia cheiranthi,</em> and <em>Autophila limbata</em>. We also include new records of the invasive species <em>Hyphantria cunea</em> in Bosnia and Herzegovina. All previous records of <em>Xylocampa areola</em> from Croatia most likely refer to <em>X. mustapha</em>, indicating that <em>X. mustapha</em> is likely the sole representative of this genus in the eastern Adriatic region.</p>2025-03-25T12:05:18+01:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://aes.bio.bg.ac.rs/index.php/aes/article/view/409COLYDIUM NOBLECOURTI PARMAIN, ECKELT & SCHUH, 2024 (COLEOPTERA: ZOPHERIDAE): NEW BEETLE SPECIES FOR THE FAUNA OF SERBIA AND NEW RECORDS OF THE GENUS COLYDIUM FABRICIUS, 1792 IN SERBIA2025-05-12T16:08:23+02:00Dawid Marczakdawid.marczak@gmail.comDanuta Pepłowska-Marczaksowa.ruda@gmail.com<p>The study presents the first data on <em>Colydium noblecourti</em> in Serbia. Specimens of <em>Colydium</em> from the authors' collection, originating from southeastern, southern, and southwestern Serbia, were reexamined, identifying all three European <em>Colydium</em> species in the region. All records of <em>Colydium</em> in Serbia need to be revised.</p>2025-05-12T16:08:23+02:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://aes.bio.bg.ac.rs/index.php/aes/article/view/407LEPIDOPTERA FAUNA OF NAMIBIA III: KATIMA MULILO, ZAMBEZI REGION2025-07-03T15:49:27+02:00Grzegorz Kopijgregorius.kopijus@gmail.com<p>In total, 76 moth and 12 butterfly species from 14 superfamilies and three families, respectively, have been identified in and around Katima Mulilo, a town in northeastern Namibia. The most speciose families were Noctuidae (22 spp.) and Geometridae (9 spp.). Forty-three species were recorded for the first time in Namibia, including 19 from the family Noctuidae and 7 from the family Geometridae. The present study suggests that the moth fauna of Namibia, especially of the families Noctuidae and Geometridae, is largely unrecorded in the Zambezi Region, and perhaps elsewhere in Namibia.</p>2025-07-03T15:49:27+02:00##submission.copyrightStatement##
