Abstract: The examples of two species of Gracillariidae, Phyllonorycter robiniella and Cameraria ohridella, show how fast the expansion can take place: The robinia-leafminer P. robiniella was first noticed in South Tyrol in 1991 and an outbreak occured on False Acacias near Brixen, already in 1996. - The horse-chestnut leafminer C. ohridella was first noticed in the Pusteria Valley near Toblach-Dobiacco, in 1992 (BUTIN and FÜHRER, 1994). The latest research, of autumn 1997, shows that they are now distributed on Horse Chestnut Trees (Aesculus hippocastanum) in the whole Isarco Valley, between Fortezza and Bozen-Bolzano, whereas in the Adige Valley at south and west of Bolzano no occurrence could be found as yet.
