Description

The Murcia Region (Southeastern Iberian Peninsula) has a great diversity of Lepidopteran fauna, as a zoogeographical crossroads and biodiversity hotspot with more than 850 butterflies and moth species recorded.

In total, 9 subfamilies, 50 genera and 106 species have been recorded and these are listed along with their collection, literature references and biological data including chorotype, voltinism and the flight period in the study area. The subfamilies are as follows: Acentropinae, Crambinae, Cybalomiinae, Evergestinae, Scopariinae, Glaphyriinae, Odontiinae, Pyraustinae and Spilomeninae. Forty nine species are here newly recorded for the Murcia Region.
