Abstract: This study is focused on the long-term mapping of Lepidoptera in north
Slovakia – the Kysuce Region. A complete list of the species observed during
the period 2012–2016 is presented. The study includes data on the superfamily
Papilionoidea collected from ten transects. Sixty-seven species belonging to six
superfamilies were recorded. The presence of Libythea celtis (Laicharting in
Fuessly, 1782) was recorded in the Kysuce Region for the first time. Moreover,
species from the European Red List Argynnis niobe (Linnaeus, 1758), Limenitis
populi (Linnaeus, 1758) and Melitaea diamina (Lang, 1789) were noted.
