Background  The invasive species  Aedes  ( Finlaya )  koreicus  was first identified in north-eastern Italy in 2011, during the ongoing surveillance activity of  Aedes albopictus . Following this finding, a more intensive monitoring was carried out to assess the distribution of the species and to collect biological data. Herein, we report the new records obtained by four years of surveillance.    Findings  The presence of  Ae. koreicus  was checked using ovitraps, adults traps and by larval collections in all possible breeding sites from May 2011 to July 2015. The monitoring started in the site of the first detection (Province of Belluno) and was then extended in the neighbouring Provinces belonging to four Regions.  Aedes koreicus  was found in 73 municipalities out of 155 monitored (47.1 %), including 23 municipalities (14.8 %) previously not infested. The area of first detection of  Ae. koreicus  (Province of Belluno) was also the most infested (68 %). However the mosquito has also been found to the west (Province of Trento) and to the south and south-west (Provinces of Vicenza and Treviso) of the initially infested area.    Conclusions  The spread of  Ae. koreicus  is directed towards south and west from the original infested area, likely due to the dense road connections and the habitat suitability of the new areas. According to these records, northern Italy has a high probability to be invaded by  Ae. koreicus  in the next decade. These data can be useful to validate predictive models of potential distribution and dispersal of this species in Italy or in Europe.
