A Northern Wall Brown Lasiommata petropolitana (Fabricius, 1787) was found in a closed beech forest beside the mountain trail heading from Mt. Platak to Mt. Snje`nik in June 2003. We discuss the ecological characteristics and distribution of this species in Croatia. We are including the Northern Wall Brown as 192nd species on the checklist of butterflies of Croatia.
