A record of pellucida from the western coast of Asia Minor based on the genitalia of a single female individual is considered invalid because the female appendages of this species in no way differ from those of either volgensis or christenseni, thus making it impossible to pinpoint the true identity of this individual.<\/p>\n

    Abstract<\/p>\n

    This paper presents an updated checklist of the butterflies of Europe, together with their original name combinations, and their occurrence status in each European country. According to this checklist, 496 species of the superfamily Papilionoidea occur in Europe. Changes in comparison with the last version (2.6.2) of Fauna Europaea are discussed. Compared to that version, 16 species are new additions, either due to cryptic species most of which have been discovered by molecular methods (13 cases) or due to discoveries of Asian species on the eastern border of the European territory in the Ural mountains (three cases). On the other hand, nine species had to be removed from the list, because they either do not occur in Europe or lost their species status due to new evidence. In addition, three species names had to be changed and 30 species changed their combination due to new evidence on phylogenetic relationships. Furthermore, minor corrections were applied to some authors\u2019 names and years of publication. Finally, the name Polyommatus ottomanus Lef\u00e8bvre, 1831, which is threatened by its senior synonym Lycaena legeri Freyer, 1830, is declared a nomen protectum, thereby conserving its name in the current combination Lycaena ottomana.<\/p>\n

    After many new records for the presence of Cacyreus marshalli<\/span> in Greece, a new map is presented here (data till 31 XII 2018)<\/p>\n

    Two new species have been added to the butterflies of Europe: Myschampia alta<\/em> and Muschampia proteides<\/em>. In Greece there are both, while Muschapia<\/em> proto<\/em> is no longer included in the species of Greece.<\/p>\n

    On 22 X 2022, at an altitude of 1900m, on Mt Varnous in Macedonia, the illustrated below individual of Boloria graeca<\/em>was photographed, in a locality where normally it is observed in June, July and August (and once in September) every year. A single young individual was observed flying with other species: Vanessa atalanta, Colias crocea<\/em>, Issoria lathonia<\/em>,\u00a0Lasiommata megera<\/em>, Lycaena phlaeas <\/em>and Pieris rapae.<\/em> As can be seen in the distribution map of Boloria graeca<\/em>, this observation (marked with a red circle) is extremely delayed and much later than two earlier personal observations: one on 9 IX 1995 (at the exact same locality on Mt Varnous) and another on 16 IX 1995 (at 2450-2500m on Mt Grammos). More research is needed to clarify with the early stages (i.e. with caterpillars and mainly with chrysalises) if there is also a second generation of Boloria graeca<\/em> or if it is a delayed appearance of it, which may have been a result of the extremely high temperatures in the previous periods.<\/p>\n

    In an area, in the Prefecture of Kilkis and at an altitude of about 200m, \u00a0individuals of the species Araschnia levana<\/em>, were observed and photographed by A. Kefaleli and Th. Mamais in the years 2019 to 2024 to fly September and October. Research is needed to determine if this is a third generation or adults of the second generation, who are diapause during the summer.<\/p>\n

    BELLOW: Caterpillars (larvae) of Danaus chrysippus<\/em> were observed feeding on the plant Gomphocarpus physocarpus<\/em>. It remains to be seen if they manage to overcome the obstacle of low winter temperatures as well as the relative lack of food for the adults, so that we have their presence all year round in our country.
