list of butterflies seen during teresa's 2015 spanish tours

last updated 02/11/2015 © Teresa Farino; Iberian Wildlife Tours 1

Checklist of Spanish Butterflies (including the Can ary Islands)

2015 campaign The following list is based on García-Barros, E., et al. (2013) Lepidoptera Papilionoidea. In: Fauna Ibérica, vol. 37. Ramos, M. A. et al. (Eds). Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales. CSIC. Madrid. Additional taxa found in the Canary Islands but not in the Iberian Península or Balearic Islands are marked in purple. Where taxa have recently been raised to species status and have no common names, I have taken the liberty of making my own suggestion, in [square brackets]. Threat Status :

• IUCN Red List (Europe) categories are given in red : (NT = Near Threatened; VU = Vulnerable; EN = Endangered).

• Libro Rojo de los Invertebrados de España (2006) categories are given in blue : (NT = Near Threatened); VU = Vulnerable; EN = Endangered; DD = Data Deficient).
