One specimen of the Western Palaearctic, mediterranean distributed species Athetis hospes (Freyer,

1831) was captured by a light trap in Oszkó, Western Hungary, on 6th of October, 2018. It is a new record for

the Hungarian fauna. The species is spreading most likely from the Croatian and Slovenian seashore. Because

of climate change and temperature rise, its presence is possible in other parts of Hungary, but stable population

is highly questionable
