Today, the University Thought - Publication in Natural Sciences is an international, peer reviewed, Open Access journal, published semi annually in the online and print version by the University of Priština, temporarily settled in Kosovska Mitrovica, Serbia. The Journal publishes articles on all aspects of research in Biology, Chemistry, Geography, Information technologies, Mathematics and Physics in the form of original papers, short communications and reviews (invited) by authors from the country and abroad. The University Thought - Publication in Natural Sciences serves as an interdisciplinary forum covering a wide range of topics for a truly international audience. Journal is endeavor of the University of Priština to acquaint the scientific world with its achievements and wish to affirm the intellectual potential and natural resources of own region. Our aim is to put forward attitude of principle that science is universal and we invite all scientists to cooperate wherever their scope of research may be. We are convinced that shall contribute to do victory of science over barriers of all kinds erected throughout the Balkans. Directors Zdravko K. Vitošević and Nebojša V.

Original Scientific Paper A CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE CURRENT CHECKLIST OF BUT- TERFLIES OF SERBIA PREDRAG JAKŠIC´ 1,? 1Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, University of Priština, Kosovska Mitrovica, Serbia ABSTRACT The latest checklist of butterflies of Serbia (Papilionoidea Latreille, 1802) by Popovic´ & Verovnik (2018) is examined. In consistencies with regard to the cited literature and applied systematics are pointed out. The validity of the view- points of the above mentioned authors on the species Leptidea juvernica Williams, 1946, Pyrgus trebevicensis (Warren, 1926), Erebia manto (Denis Schiffermüller, 1775) and Melitaea ornata Christoph, 1893 is discussed. It is shown that by imposing new Serbian names to butterflies disregards national and scientific heritage. Keywords: Butterflies, Papilionoidea, Republic of Serbia. INTRODUCTION first place give the family Papilionidae Latreille, 1802, and then In the Republic of Serbia, two checklists of butterflies of the family Hesperiidae Latreille, 1809. In their paper, the authors Serbia have been published in which, besides their scientific have switched the places of these families. Similarly, Popovic´ and names, their local vernacular names are given (Jakšic´ & Ðuric,´ Verovnik place the family Riodinidae Grote, 1895 after the fam- 2008; Jakšic´ et al., 2013). Recently, a third checklist was published ily Lycaenidae Leach, 1885, while in Nieukerken et al. (2011) the (Popovic´ & Verovnik, 2018). Thanks to these texts, the knowledge order was the reverse. It is not known from whom this systemat- about the fauna of this group of insects in Serbia is gradually be- ics was taken, since in the introductory part the authors only cite ing completed. We can safely claim that new species of butterflies the literature sources for taxonomy and nomenclature, referring to in Serbia will be determined. Firstly, there will be those that are the informal site of Fauna Europaea (Karsholt van Nieukerken, present in neighboring countries, and then the invasive species that 2013). are spreading from the south towards the north. Here in, we want Attention is given to the species Leptidea morsei (Fen- to look at the above mentioned text of Popovic´ & Verovnik (2018). ton, 1882). This species has not been found in Serbia for al- most 80 years (Miloš Rogulja found 5 4 in the period 1920- A CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE CHECKLIST OF 1939). Rogulja found the specimens on♂ the♀ so-called “Futoški POPOVIC´ AND VEROVNIK (2018) drum”–a 7 km-long road that linked Novi Sad and Futog. Since In their introduction, the authors emphasize that during the then, this habitat has disappeared due to urbanization; however, compilation of the checklist, 166 references with data on the fauna corresponding habitats still exist in the immediate vicinity of the of the butterflies of Serbia were used, starting from the first work Fruška Gora slopes. Lorkovic´ (1993) pointed out that the habitat of Frivaldszky (1877). The authors are unaware of earlier works, of L. morsei in Croatia is defined by the community of Lathyreto- such as Marsili (1726), who provided the first notes on the butter- quercetum petraeae HR-T 1957; an equivalent community of flies of Vojvodina. After Marsili, and before Frivaldszky (1877), Quercetum confertae-cerris Rudski 1939 is represented on Fruška two papers on the butterflies of Serbia were published too. The Gora. Plants on which caterpillars feed are present there. Of the 16 aforementioned 166 works are given at the end in two lists

Rapport MMNHN-SPN 2013 - 19, 201 p. Résumé : Les études de phylogénie moléculaire sur les Lépidoptères Rhopalocères et Zygènes sont de plus en plus nombreuses ces dernières années modifiant la systématique et la taxinomie de ces deux groupes. Une mise à jour complète est réalisée dans ce travail. Un cadre décisionnel a été élaboré pour les niveaux spécifiques et infra-spécifique avec une approche intégrative de la taxinomie. Ce cadre intégre notamment un aspect biogéographique en tenant compte des zones-refuges potentielles pour les espèces au cours du dernier maximum glaciaire. Cette démarche permet d’avoir une approche homogène pour le classement des taxa aux niveaux spécifiques et infra-spécifiques. Les conséquences pour l’acquisition des données dans le cadre d’un inventaire national sont développées. Summary : Studies on molecular phylogenies of Butterflies and Burnets have been increasingly frequent in the recent years, changing the systematics and taxonomy of these two groups.

The female of E. tanaceti is re-described, while the male and nymph are described for the first time. Keywords: Eriophyidae, Leipothrix, common zinnia, Asteraceae, Hungary. The large family Asteraceae (Compositae) contains 1,911 plant genera with 32,913 accepted species names (The Plant List, 2013). Representatives of the family Asteraceae are a dominant feature of the Hungarian flora with 267 recognised species.

Abstract Detailed distribution pattern of colubrid snakes in Serbia is still inadequately described, despite the long historical study. In this paper, we provide accurate distribution of seven species, with previously published and newly accumulated faunistic records compiled. Comparative analysis of faunas among all Balkan countries showed that Serbian colubrid fauna is among the most distinct (together with faunas of Slovenia and Romania), due to small number of species. Zoogeographic analysis showed high chorotype diversity of Serbian colubrids: seven species belong to six chorotypes. South-eastern Serbia (Pčinja River valley) is characterized by the presence of all colubrid species inhabiting our country, and deserves the highest conservation status at the national level.

Abstract. Following indecision and confusion in the literature regarding nomenclature and distribution of Melitaea phoebe (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) and its closely associated congeners M. punica Oberthür, 1876, and M. ornata Christoph, 1893, a synonymic list of phoebe names, and of names both correctly and mis- takenly associated with phoebe species-group taxa, is presented. Explanatory footnotes provide the basis of a stable source for future discussion of M. phoebe species-group populations throughout the species’ ranges. Introduction According to a recent revision (van Oorschot and Coutsis 2014), the genus Melitaea Fabricius, 1807, comprises some 98 species of phenotypically similar, medium sized nymphaline butterflies that occur throughout most of the Palaearctic Region and beyond. Adults are invariably orange- brown on the upper surface, with a series of black lines and other markings; several Melitaea species are notoriously difficult to separate using wing morphology due to their similarity in appearance (Jugovic and Koren 2014).
