Melitaea omata Christoph, 1893 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) discovered in Montenegro, with a list of the butterflies recorded in May 2013

摘要

A short visit to a small area in the coastal hills of Montenegro was made in May 2013, where 48 species of butterflies were recorded; of these seven are considered to be vulnerable, endangered or threatened. Among the species recorded was a Melitaea phoebe-like butterfly that was later shown from antennal shape, wing morphology and male genitalia to be M. ornata, the first record of this species for Montenegro. Because of the apparent lack of recent records of Papilionoidea from Montenegro, a specieslist is provided.
