- Abstract
The Erythromma lindenii population in the Czech Republic was only recently established; the species was not present before 2009. In 2020, Erythromma lindenii was identified for the first time in two places in the Moravia territory (eastern country of the Czech Republic) surrounding the town of Znojmo (Znojmo district). In 2021–2022, a stable population was discovered in the area. In 2022, another expansion of the species to the Lanžhot village are was observed at the confluence of the Dyje/Thaya and Kyjovka Rivers (the Břeclav district), at the March/ Morava river near Hohenau an der March (the Gänserndorf district) in Austria, and in two places near the Moravský Svätý Ján village in Slovakia (the Senica district, found as a new species in Slovakia). These data confirm the quick north-eastwards expansion of the species range in Central Europe in the area of the Pannonian biogeographical province, i.e., by the Danube-Pannonian current. This expansion contrasts with the expansion to the territory of Bohemia, which was settled by the Lusatian migration flow in 2009.
