EPPO Reporting Service (2008/199) and EPPO Reporting Service (2008/200) : first record near Zürich in summer 2007 and addition to the EPPO Alert List. This was considered to the the first record for Europe (however, it was later found that a specimen had been caught in 2004 in Liechtenstein at Balzers).
