摘要：After more than 40 years, the nymphalid butterfly Nymphalis vaualbum was rediscovered in Croatia. A single specimen was found on Mt. Papuk in the spring area of the Dubočanka stream in July 2004. The habitats on Mt. Papuk are suitable for the species' long term survival; therefore the area was proposed as a NATURA 2000 site for this threatened and protected species. As the species has disappeared from many European countries, this recent record is of great importance and emphasizes the need for further field research efforts to confirm resident populations of the species, its distribution area and population status.
