Abstract

Acleris lacordairana (Duponchel, 1836) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Tortricini) was recorded for the first time for the fauna of the Republic of Serbia. The species was discovered during October 2023, in the "Gornje Podunavlje" Special Nature Reserve within the area of the third level of protection. Its findings in the middle of the Pannonian Basin are also the first documented findings of this species in southern Europe. This study is the first contribution to the knowledge of the fauna of micromoths (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) in the "Gornje Podunavlje" Special Nature Reserve.
