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> Toni Koren, Matea Martinović, Dejan Kulijer ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://aes.bio.bg.ac.rs/index.php/aes/article/view/408 Tue, 25 Mar 2025 12:05:18 +0100
