Abstract
The first checklist of pyraloid moth species in Croatia, published in 2019, includes 362 species. A provisional checklist and bibliography of the Pyraloidea of the Balkan Peninsula was published in 2018, but because of unfortunate overlaps in timing, that work was not considered in the later publication. This present article provides new data on 16 additional species included in the earlier work. Taking these into account the number of Pyraloidea species occurring in Croatia raises to 377 and includes 207 Crambidae species plus 170 Pyralidae taxa. This represents about 45% of the European pyraloid moth fauna.
A revised checklist is presented now. Another 31 species, not included in the 2018 provisional checklist for the Balkan Peninsula, but which are listed in the 2019 Croatian checklist of Pyraloidea are also discussed. This is followed by a comparison with the pyraloid fauna of other countries from the region.
