Here, we updated known distribution this species, including five new Italian regions (Liguria, Tuscany, Latium, Apulia, Calabria); Salamis Island Greece, Occitanie region France. Citizen-science data have significantly contributed knowledge on species distribution, online platform for sharing biodiversity information can represent an effective tool early detection. Molecular analyses revealed that specimens collected Peninsular Italy Sicily belong unique clade, suggesting possibility single introduction, whereas those from Menton (France) Calabria (Southern Italy) are separated others probably originate introductions.
