Abstract
Charaxes jasius (Linnaeus, 1767) is reported for the first time for the Veneto region, in Northeastern Italy. Both adults and caterpillars have been observed in the Euganean Hills (Colli Euganei Regional Park) between August and October 2021. The location is a xerothermic oasis that could provide the suitable environmental conditions for maintaining a population of this species, which is recently expanding its range to northern latitudes.
