New records of rare pierids ( Lepidoptera: Pieridae) in Slovenia

Predovnik, Željko (author), Verovnik, Rudi (author)

The authors present new and unpublished information on the distribution of three pierid species in Slovenia, i.e. GOnepteryx cleopatra (Linnaeus, 1767), Colias erate (Esper, 1805), and Colias myrmidone (Esper, 1781). The first two species are very recent additions to the Slovene butterfly fauna and their status in view of the new records is discussed. Colias erate could be considered a resident species in Slovenia as it was found in two consecutive years on two sites along the Drava channels below Formin and Zlatoličje hydroelectric power plants. Colias myrmidone has suffered strong decline throughout the western limit of its distribution in central Europe and should be considered near extinct in Slovenia. The last records of this species in Slovenia are documented.

Abstract

Avtorja predstavljava nove in neobjavljene podatke o razširjenosti treh vrst belinov Gonepteryx cleopatra (Linnaeus, 1767), Colias erate (Esper, 1805) in Colias myrmidone (Esper, 1781) v Sloveniji. Prvi dve vrsti sta najnovejši pridobitvi v favni dnevnih metuljev Slovenije in v luči novih najdb je razprava o njunem stalnem pojavljanju v Sloveniji. Colias myrmidone je v zadnjih letih izginil iz mnogih predelov srednje Evrope na zahodni meji svojega areala. Tudi pri nas ga lhko prištevamo med vrste na robu izumrtja. Predstavljeni podatki dokumentirajo izginotje te vrste v Sloveniji. Vrsta Colias erate je verjetno stalna vrsta v Sloveniji, saj je bila najdena v dveh zaporednih letih na dveh območjih ob kanalih Drave pod hidroelektrarnama Formin in Zlatoličje.
