The pest was intercepted in some ware potato consignments from Greece.
From Horváth et al. (2017): first found in December 2015 on potatoes in a market in Komló (Baranya County). These potatoes had most probably be grown in Baranya county but this could not be firmly ascertained. Interestingly, another infestation (about 60 km away) was reported at the same time in Northern Croatia (in Lug, Osijek-Baranja county).
