This paper reports on the first finding of the species Stenophylax malaspina (Schmid, 1957) in the Croatian fauna, also providing a brief review of the history of Trichoptera research in Croatia. The distribution of S. malaspina is discussed, indicating the highly isolated nature of its occurrence in Croatia. Although the new finding of S. malaspina in Croatia was made in the Mediterranean region, which corresponds to the biology of this Asian-Mediterranean species, the location was almost 400 kilometres away from the western border of its range in southern Italy. On the Balkan Peninsula, the nearest previously known record of this species is situated to the east, approximately 500 km from the site in Croatia.
