Carol I 11, 700506 Iaşi, Romania. *[email protected] Abstract. The Lycaenidae family is represented in Romania by 59 species, with the Polyommatinae subfamily comprising most of these species. Many taxa in Lycaenidae are vulnerable or critically endangered due to anthropic activities. To assess the diversity of species in this family, studies were conducted in five natural protected areas in Iași County: Fâneţele Seculare de la Valea lui David, Sărăturile de la Valea Ilenei, Poiana cu Schit, Pădurea Uricani and Pădurea Pietrosu. A total of 21 species were recorded in these areas. Of these species, one is endangered, three are near threatened and five are vulnerable. Our paper presents the list of recorded species, their frequency, synecological data and diversity indexes for the lycaenids communities in investigated areas, meanwhile offering new faunal data in these areas. Keywords: Lycaenidae, biodiversity, protected areas Rezumat. Diversitatea familiei Lycaenidae (Lepidoptera) din unele arii protejate din judeţul Iaşi (România). Familia Lycaenidae este reprezentată în România de 59 de specii, cu subfamilia Polyommatinae cuprinzând cele mai multe din specii. Numeroşi taxoni ai familiei Lycaenidae sunt vulnerabili sau critic periclitaţi datorită activităţilor antropice. Pentru a evalua diversitatea speciilor din această familie, s-au realizat cercetări în cinci arii protejate din judeţul Iaşi: Fâneţele Seculare de la Valea lui David, Sărăturile de la Valea Ilenei, Poiana cu Schit, Pădurea Uricani şi Pădurea Pietrosu. În total, s-au identificat 21 de specii în aceste zone. Dintre aceste specii, una este periclitată, trei sunt potenţial ameninţate şi cinci sunt vulnerabile. Studiul nostru prezintă lista speciilor înregistrate, frecvenţa lor, date sinecologice şi indici de diversitate ai comunităţii de licenide în zonele cercetate, în acelaşi timp oferind noi date faunistice în ariile respective. Cuvinte-cheie: Lycaenidae, biodiversitate, arii protejate Introduction The Lycaenidae family is one of the largest groups in Lepidoptera, with approximate 6000 species. Its representatives are found in all major biogeographical regions in the temperate and tropical areas. Although many species present strict habitat requirements, lycaenids can be met in various biomes and vegetal associations, from tropical forests to bush-type vegetation, meadows, wet areas or semidesertified areas (New, 1993). From the diversity point of view, the lycaenids are more frequent in the tropical region, especially in S America and S-E Asia, followed by Africa. In the neotropical ecozone, the Theclinae subfamily is the most abundent, followed by the Polyommatinae and Lycaeninae subfamilies. In the nearctic zone, the number of species is relatively small, representing half the number of species in palearctic region (New, 1993). In Europe, the lycaenids are distributed rather heterogenous, with less than 10 species in some countries and up to more than 65 species in others (Ukraine 68, Hungary 55, Yugoslavia
