Abstract
This research into the butterfly fauna of the northern parts of the Moslavina region (northern Moslavina) was conducted between July 2004 and September 2006 with the aim of providing the first information on the butterfly fauna for the area and contributing to the overall knowledge on butterfly species distribution in Croatia. The analysis of samples collected from 13 locations demonstrates the presence of 69 species, which corresponds to 35% of all species recorded in Croatia. Since the research area is subject to significant anthropogenic influence, this share can be considered as significant. Strictly protected species Lycaena dispar (Haworth, 1802), Euphydryas aurinia (Rottemburg, 1775) Lopinga achine (Scopoli, 1763), Papilio machaon (Linnaeus, 1758) and Parnassius mnemosyne (Linnaeus, 1758) were recorded during the research. Furthermore, the research provided the first data on butterfly fauna of the northern parts of the Moslavina region, and can serve as a basis for further research in the wider region.
