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
