region of the country (Kment and Baňař 2008; Hrašovec 2013; Matošević and Pajač Živković 2013; Pajač Živković et al. 2013). Soon it was also discovered in other countries: Serbia in 2006 (Protić 2008); Bulgaria (Simov 2008), Bosnia and Herzegovina (this paper), Montenegro (Hradil 2008) and Greece (Petrakis 2011) in 2008; and recently in 2015 in Macedonia (Kulijer 2016) and Kosovo (Kulijer and Ibrahimi 2017).
First report on the species presence in BiH was presented by Dautbašić et al. (2014). In 2015 additional record from South Herzegovina was published by Protić and Stanković (2015). In this paper we present the oldest documented finding of L. occidentalis in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the current knowledge on its distribution in the country.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Materijal i metode
L. occidentalis adults were collected from eight new localities in period between 2008 and 2016 (Fig. 1). They were observed casually and collected by hand. The collected specimens were preserved in 80 % ethanol. Specimens from Zvijezda Mt., Duboštica and Igman Mt., Veliko polje, Čavle are deposited at the Faculty of Forestry, University of Sarajevo, while the specimens from National Museum, Visoko and Klek are deposited in the collections of the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo.

Chronologically, the first record of L. occidentalis in the country was one dead adult found in early spring (April 26th) 2008 in the city center of Sarajevo, in the office of Natural History department building of the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The specimen was well preserved but seemed to be dead for some time. The fact that it was found indoors in early spring, suggest that it entered the building in autumn, probably seeking for suitable overwintering shelter. This also suggests that the species was present in BiH at least as early as 2007. To our knowledge, this is the oldest documented record of the species presence in the country. In the period between 2008 and 2016 single specimens were occasionally encountered in the buildings of the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina and in the botanical garden surrounding the building, but the exact dates were not recorded.
