    Ambrosia artemiisifolia is North American plant species established and invasive in Europe. In 2013 its natural enemy, chrysomelid beetle Ophraella communa was first recorded in Italy and ... Switzerland. Since then, it has been spreading spontaneously and unintentionally with transport across Europe. Until now, it has been recorded only in the southwestern part of Slovenia in 2017 and around Ljubljana in 2019. Here we report the first records of O. communa in the north-eastern part of Slovenia. Thirty-four sites with A. artemisiifolia stands were inspected for the presence of any developmental stage of O. communa. Adult beetles and all other developmental stages were registered at two distinct locations near the cities of Celje and Maribor in 2022. One case of predation of Zicrona caerulea on O. communa larva was also observed.
