Abstract

Surveys of the butterflies and moths of the Adriatic Islands began in the second half of the 19th century, and are still being undertaken. The researchers mostly survey larger, easily accessible islands, while the smaller ones usually remain completely unsurveyed.
Here we present new faunistic records of butterfly and moth species
from two small, previously unsurveyed Dalmatian Islands, Olib and Šćedro. Twenty butterfly species are reported from Olib and 13 butterfly and 5 moth species from Šćedro Island.
