Abstract

We examined 581 specimens from the family Zygaenidae (Lepidoptera) from the Balkans and the surrounding area (Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia) in the collections of Croatian Natural History Museum in Zagreb. Almost all species occurring in Croatia are represented in the collections of the Croatian Natural History Museum. Despite the small number of specimens stored in this museum Zygaenidae of Croatia are well studied comparing with other countries of the Balkan Peninsula.
