Entomologia Croatica 2009/1

Entomologia Croatica, Volume 13, Issue 1 (2009), is a scientific journal published in Zagreb by the Croatian Entomological Society. Spanning 112 pages, this issue is dedicated to the study of insects—specifically the butterflies of Croatia—covering their distribution, diversity, and scientific research.

The core of this issue features a paper by Academician Zdravko Lorković titled "The Rhopalocera Fauna of Croatia, with Special Reference to the Fauna of the Plitvice Lakes," which serves as a significant contribution to the understanding of Croatia’s butterfly fauna. Also included are his writings on butterfly fauna, an overview of his scientific legacy, and a bibliography of his works. Of particular interest is an article concerning a specimen of the butterfly Leptidea duponcheli held in the collection of the Croatian Natural History Museum in Zagreb.

The journal holds considerable scientific, educational, and documentary value, as it preserves the findings of entomological research and contributes to the knowledge of Croatia’s natural heritage. Intended for entomologists, biologists, naturalists, students, and insect enthusiasts, this publication stands as a valuable example of Croatian scientific periodical literature from the early 21st century.
