Abstract
The butterfly species Erebia flavofasciata Heyne, 1895 was recorded for the first time in
South Tyrol. This record extends the known species distribution area to the east and
enriches the already very butterfly-diverse Venosta/Vinschgau valley. An updated
distribution
map is provided. Further investigations are needed for a more precise
delimitation of this new population, that potentially extends over the border between
South Tyrol (IT) and Lower Engadin in the Canton of the Grisons (CH), in an area where
the species has never been reported before.
