Abstract

The first record of Ripart’s Anomalous Blue Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) ripartii (Freyer, 1830) (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae) in Croatia is presented. A single specimen was found during field research in August 2010 between the village of Zrmanja and Zrmanja spring (300 m a.s.l.). This record at least partially fills the gap in the distribution of P. ripartii in Europe and indicates a possibility that more unrecorded species will be found in Croatia. Ripart’s Anomalous Blue is the 194th butterfly species recorded in Croatia.
