Abstract

On August 15, 2004, three specimens of Danaus chrysippus (Linnaeus, 1758) were caught at the mouth of the Neretva River near the town of Ploče in South Dalmatia. This is the first record of this migratory species in Croatia. A review of its zoogeographical characteristics and distribution in Europe is given. The results have been discussed and further study of this species is recommended.
