Sažetak
More intensive research of Lepidoptera began after 1970 and especially after 1985, performed mostly by amateurs and S. G., the author of this article. The 6211 data from very different sources and 66 locations were collected and recorded. All together, they make 955 species of Lepidoptera (686 Macro-, 269 Microlepidoptera). The majority of species belongs to the families Noctuidae (258), Geometridae (198), Pyraloidea (97), Tortricidae (67) and 108 butterflies (Rhopalocera). Eight species are new for Slovenian fauna of Macrolepidoptera (mostly Subpannonian elements). The forest fauna prevails, while the meadow fauna is very affected because of intensive use of grass. Some very characteristic and common species disappeared from meadow lands (Hypodryas maturna L., Mellicta britomartis britomartis Assm., Colias myrmidone Esp.), whereas some others are appearing (Colias erate Esp., Apamea sicula syriaca Osth., Xestia cohaesa Herrich - Schäffer). During the investigations, changes in abundance of all the fauna under investigation, especially on cultivated areas. The geographical, geological and climatic characteristics and vegetation on Prekmurje are described. The taxonomic system of Huemer & Tarman (1993) has been used.
