Abstract

A review of distribution of the horse-chestnut leafminer (Cameraria ohridella) in Lithuania was made on the basis of observations carried out in various Lithuanian cities, towns and settlements in 2002–2006. The first record of the species in Lithuania was made in the Curonian Spit in 2002. Currently, Cameraria ohridella can be found in 39 Lithuanian cities, towns and settlements. In some areas, the species forms massive infestation foci. Until 2006 the autumnal generation was only known in Lithuania, whereas in 2006 the summer generation was registered.
