Abstract
On 14 July 2007 two metamorphosed males of the Po brook lamprey, Lethenteron zanandreai (Vladykov, 1955), were caught in the Hutovo Blato wetland, Neretva River basin (Adriatic Sea watershed) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is the first report on the occurrence of this species in the waters of Bosnia and Herzegovina. New evidence of their original distributional range extended eastward is presented.

The Po brook lamprey, Lethenteron zanandreai (Vladykov, 1955), is a non-parasitic lamprey endemic for the area extending from the Alpine watershed of the northern and Adriatic slope of central Italy (Bianco 1992, 1995) to the Adriatic drainage basin of Slovenia (Povž 1995) and Croatia (Holčík and Mrakovčić 1997)
The present distributional range indicate their origin by relatively ancient colonization events, dispersal and/or exchange of freshwater fishes, that occurred probably during the last glacial (Würm) extended phase of the River Po basin (Bianco and Miller 1990, Bianco 1992)
