[en] Xylocopa (Koptortosoma) aestuans (L. 1758) (Hymenoptera Apoidea), a species native to Southeast Asia, is reported for the first time in Europe, following the collection of seven individuals in Italy (Ragusa, Sicily). The barcode of COI region confirmed the identification of the specimens. Since it is not yet clear whether the species can reproduce outside its range of origin, monitoring the area is strongly recommended.
