Description Evidence of an elm-feeding population of Rosalia alpina in the floodplain forests of South Moravia (Czech Republic) is presented. This and further records indicate that the Central European population is expanding its range and host plant spectrum; an alternative explanation might be the spread of the South European population northwards.
