Abstract

This species was deliberately introduced from Canada to Russia in 1969 in order to control the spread of the invasive plant Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., and has so far spread across eastern and parts of central Europe, including Serbia and Hungary. With this survey A. candefacta has for the first time been recorded in Croatia, which confirmed the further spread of this species toward western Europe.
