We report on the first record of Lindenia tetraphylla (Vander Linden, 1825) in Libya. A total of twenty-one individuals of this species are the first documented records for this species in this country. All individuals were mature, observed in June in two non-consecutive years (2019 and 2021), suggesting local reproduction at two sites south of Misurata city. Habitats were man-made wetlands surrounded by lush vegetation. These observations and recent others from North Africa suggest that this species is progressively recovering parts of its western range lost during the 20^th century, establishing itself now within a wide coastal and sub-coastal region in the countries bordering the southern Mediterranean. Further investigations are warranted to confirm the status, and to assess the life cycle and dispersal of L. tetraphylla in Libya.
