Sažetak

During faunistic surveys of the moths of northern Croatia, six specimens of the olive-shaded birddropping moth, Acontia candefacta, were recorded. Five specimens were attracted to light traps at the sandy area of Kloštarski pijesci near Đurđevac, while a single specimen was recorded on the southern slopes of Medvednica Nature Park near Zagreb. 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.
