Abstract

In this paper, the first record of Iolana iolas (Ochsenheimer, 1816) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) from the Croatian part of the Istrian peninsula is presented. A single female was collected near the town of Pedrovica in July 2020. At the locality, multiple Colutea arborescens plants were present, and the specimen was found on one of them. This record fills in the gap in the distribution of I. iolas between the populations from Dalmatia, Krk and Cres islands and Slovenia.
