A second generation of the vine bud moth Theresimima ampellophaga (Bayle-Barelle, 1808) is recorded from the northern Greek peninsula of Kassandra (Halkidiki). It was discovered on a systematic search for suitable habitats on the peninsula in September 2018 by using the sex attractant EFETOV-2 (the racemic mixture of (2R)-butyl 2-dodecenoate and (2S)-butyl 2-dodecenoate). The interesting restricted distribution of the species on Kassandra and its possible historical background are discussed.
