  • Both positions are OK for the phrase 'for the first time', although #1 is better because it is closer to the verb that it modifies.
  • 'Reported' is OK if you are focusing on 'telling someone officially'.

Thank you for your answer, it is reported in the present and I this is used to comunicate the presence of these species in a scientific paper, so i think that reported could be used porperly.
