Abstract

This paper presents new findings of the rare butterfly Proterebia afra dalmata (Godart, (cid:1)1824(cid:2)) along the Dalmatian coast in Croatia. The subspecies was found on seven new sites: in Lozovac near the Krka National Park, in the vicinity of the main spring of the Cetina River, near Velo Blato on the island of Pag and at four locations on the northern slopes of Mt Biokovo between Lon~ari, Kaoci and Turija (all inside the borders of Biokovo Nature Park). The range and the habitat characteristics of this threatened subspecies are also discussed.
