Sažetak
After more than 70 years the endemic subspecies of Silky Ringlet Erebia gorge vagana was again observed at the type locality near Vaganski vrh on Mt Velebit, Croatia. At least four adults were seen on north-facing screes in August 2014. As it is limited to the highest parts of the mountain, the species is severely threatened by current climate change and long term monitoring of this isolated population would be of great scientific importance.
