Abstract
We present here a detailed list of butterflies (Lepidoptera) of the Knin area and surroundings, written by the deceased Ivan Hafner and his collaborators from 1934 to 1938. In the list, Hafner included some findings from other areas in Dalmatia (southern Croatia) as well. This is a very important faunistic contribution to the knowledge of Croatian butterflies. The author used the current systematics and the nomenclature of that period. It contains 804 species with 428 so called macrolepidoptera and 376 microlepidoptera. Up to then, the area of Knin had not been investigated from the lepidopterological stand point. For such a relatively small area, the number of about 800 recorded species is really worth attention.
