Bansko brdo is an elongated plateau located in the north-eastern region of Baranja (east Croatia), near the border with Hungary. During the last two years, surveys of butterfl ies were carried out on 10 localities. The localities were divided into two groups, 5 on the north-eastern side of the hill and 5 on the south-western side. In total, 65 species were recorded, 13 of which are new records for Bansko brdo. A far greater number of specimens were recorded on the north-eastern side, 1014, in comparison with 262 on the south-western side, meaning 74 % more butterfl ies. This is probably due to the seminatural habitats that are still present in the north-eastern side, including meadows, forest edges and vineyards, while the southern side is crisscrossed with forests and fi elds with only a small proportion of meadows remaining. On Bansko brdo Euro Siberian species are prevalent. During this survey we did not record 12 species previously recorded, which may be an indication of the changing butterfl y diversity. As this is one of last natural habitats in Baranja, it should be protected from further degradation in the near future.

Bansko brdo je nisko uzvišenje smješteno u sjeveroistočnom dijelu Baranje u istočnoj Hrvatskoj, blizu državne granice s Mađarskom. Tijekom dvije prošle godine uzorkovanja faune danjih leptira obavljena su na 10 lokaliteta. Lokaliteti su podijeljeni u dvije skupine, po pet lokaliteta sa sjeveroistočne i pet lokaliteta s jugozapadne strane Banskoga brda. Ukupno je zabilježeno 65

42

vrsta, od kojih je 13 novih nalaza za Bansko brdo. Mnogo veći broj leptira, tj. 1014, utvrđen je na sjeveroistočnoj strani brda, dok su na jugozapadnoj utvrđene tek 262 jedinke. Razlog tome vjerojatno je prisutnost poluprirodnih staništa na sjeveroistočnoj strani, dok je južna strana ispresjecana šumama i poljima, s malim brojem preostalih livada. Na Banskome brdu uglavnom prevladavaju vrste eurosibirskog tipa rasprostiranja. Tijekom ovog istraživanja nismo zabilježili 12 vrsta poznatih iz literature, što može upućivati na promjenu u raznolikosti danjih leptira toga područja. Bansko brdo je jedno od zadnjih prirodnih staništa u Baranji pa ga je potrebno zaštititi od daljnje degradacije.

Introduction

While resarch into the butterfl ies of Croatia started in the second half of the 19th century (Mann, 1857), the researchers primarily visited the Dalmatian littoral, the Adriatic islands and mountains like Gorski Kotar and Velebit. With such a selective approach, many other parts of the country remained unexplored. The research into the northern part of Croatia started much later and resulted in records of several new butterfl ies and moth species for Croatia, including even large and charismatic species such as Colias erate (Esper, 1804) (Lorković et al., 1992) and Apatura metis (Freyer, 1829) (Lorković, 1976) showing the importan-ce of this area.

Bansko brdo is an elongated plateau, located in the north-eastern region of Baranja (east Croatia), near the border with Hungary. Bansko brdo, located between Beli Manastir and Batina, is 21 km long and 3 km wide. The highest peak of Bansko brdo is Kamenjak (244 m). The southern part of Bansko brdo is characterized by steep, high loess cliffs ranging from 25-58 meters in height (Bognar, 1990) Fig. 1. The potential vegetation of the loess plateau and southern slopes was loess steppe and oak woodland (Uherkovich et al., 2008). On the nor-thern slopes, oak and hornbeam forests were once distributed, with parts of the slopes covered with steppe grassland (Csiky et al., 2008; Purger & Csiky, 2008; Purger et al., 2008). Nowadays, most of Bansko brdo is converted to agricultural fi elds and vineyards, and only small fragments of loess vegetation have remained unchanged (Figure 2). This has certainly had a high impact on the fl ora and fauna of the area, including the butterfl ies.

The butterfl ies of Bansko brdo have never been systematically researched and only a small number of species has been recorded until now (Krčmar et al., 1996; Krčmar 2002). The goal of this research is to give the fi rst overview of the butterfl ies of the area, and to emphasize the importance of Bansko brdo for the butterfl y diversity of northern Croatia.

Materials and Methods

This survey was carried out during 2009 and 2010 at 10 localities in Bansko brdo, 5 located in the north-eastern part of the hill and fi ve in the south-western part (Table 1). Each locality was visited several times, and each time species di-versity and abundance were recorded. Butterfl ies were collected with an entomo-logical net or photographed while they were visiting fl owers. The identifi cation of the butterfl ies was done in the fi eld using illustrated guides (Tolman & Lewin-gton, 2008) and most of the butterfl ies were released afterward. Only a few speci-mens per species were collected to form a butterfl y collection of the area, which is now held at the Department of Biology, J. J. Strossmayer University, Osijek. The butterfl y nomenclature follows the European Red List of Butterfl ies (Van Swaayet al., 2010). Biogeographical analysis was made on the basis of combined data from Hruby (1964), Mihoci et al. (2007) and Tolman & Lewington (2008).

Results

During the two years survey period we recorded 65 butterfl y species. While the recorded number represents only 33 % of the butterfl y fauna of Croatia (Šašić & Mihoci, 2011), 13 species were recorded for the fi rst time for Bansko brdo: Parnassius mnemosyne (Linnaeus, 1758), Pieris mannii (Mayer, 1851), Lycaena virgaurea (Linnaeus, 1758), Satyrium w-album (Knoch, 1782), Phengaris arion(Linnaeus, 1758), Aricia agestis (Dennis and Schiffermüller 1775), Polyommatus daphnis (Dennis & Schiffermüller, 1775), Polyommatus bellargus (Rottemburg, 1775), Libythea celtis (Laicharting, 1782), Melitaea phoebe (Dennis & Schiffer-müller, 1775), Brintesia circe (Fabricius, 1775), Thymelicus lineola (Ochsenhei-mer, 1808) and Thymelicus sylvestris Poda 1761.

A systematic list of species, along with the number of specimens recorded at each location is given in Table 2. The zoogeographical analysis showed the prev-alence of Euro-Siberian species with the high proportion of oriental and Mediter-ranean species (Table 3).

Discussion

When one compares the butterfl y fauna of the two sides of the Bansko brdo, it is clear that the north-eastern side is more favourable for the butterfl ies. There we recorded 34 % more species, meaning 59 recorded species in the north-ea-stern side and 39 species on the south-western side of the Bansko brdo. Also, a far greater number of specimens were recorded on the north-eastern side, 1014 in comparison with 262 on the south-western side, meaning 74 % more butterfl ies.

On the northern side of Bansko brdo far more seminatural habitats are pre-sent, including meadows, forest edges and vineyards, while the southern side

is crisscrossed with forests and fi elds with only a small proportion of meadows remaining. When dealing with the recorded butterfl y fauna from a conservation aspect, 6 recorded species are listed either in the Red List of European Butterfl ies (Van Swaay et al., 2010) or in the Red List of Croatian Butterfl ies (Šašić & Kuči-nić, 2004) as well in other European nature conservation documents (Table 4).

When we add literature data to our fi ndings (Krčmar et al., 1996; Krčmar, 2002), 76 butterfl y species are known for Bansko brdo (Table 4). The only ne-arby locality that was suffi ciently researched is Kopački Rit, with 61 recorded butterfl y species (Szent-Ivány, 1944; Krčmar, 1998; Krčmar, 2004; Krčmar et al., 1996; Reinstra, 2004). This comparison with Kopački Rit, a protected Nature Park, indicates the importance of Bansko brdo.

Another factor emphasising the importance of Bansko brdo is that it is one of the last known locations of Colias myrmidone (Esper, 1780) in Croatia (Krčmar et al., 1996). This species was not recorded during our survey, but the possibility that C. myrmidone is still present in Croatia exists and should be checked with further researches.

Aside from C. myrmidone, the following butterfl y species that were recorded during previous researches (Krčmar et al., 1996, Krčmar, 2004) were not recorded during this survey: Aporia crataegi (Linnaeus, 1758), Lycaena thersamon (Esper, 1784), Cupido decoloratus (Staudinger, 1886), Glaucopsyche alexis (Poda, 1761), Iolana iolas (Ochsenheimer, 1816), Aglais urticae (Linnaeus, 1758), Nymphalis antiopa (Linnaeus, 1758), Nymphalis polychloros (Linnaeus, 1758), Limenitis populi (Linnaeus, 1758) and Lasiommata maera (Linnaeus, 1758).

While many parts of north-eastern Croatia, as well as Baranja have been completely changed due to the high anthropogenic impact, Bansko brdo still con-tains many of its natural habitats (Fig. 2 a-d). It would be of the great importance for the survival of many butterfl y species to retain such habitat diversity on Ban-sko brdo in the future.
