Abstract: The Turquoise Blue – Polyommatus dorylas (Denis et Schiffermüller, 1775) is
a critically endangered butterfly in the Czech Republic, and most of Europe. We
report here the rediscovery of this butterfly in the foothills of Vsetínské
Vrchy Mts., Czech (Western) Carpathians: Halenkov vill. part Lušová (6674b) in
2009. The area is well-covered by butterfly recording, so it seems that the
species has either existed in extremely small populations there, or,
alternatively, has recently re-colonized the area from nearby Slovakia.
