Sažetak

Based on the known available records of Croatia’s hawk moths, including more recent observations, this short communication provides an updated contribution to the known distribution of the broad-bordered bee hawk-moth in Croatia. Individuals of the species were recorded in the areas of Strmendolac and Vinine, Split-Dalmatia County. These observations confirm additional southern localities for the species in Croatia, beyond Makarska. Given the limited number of observations, a wider distribution of the species can be expected in the southern parts of the Mediterranean biogeographical region of Croatia.
