Abstract: A list of all records of Langʼs Short Tailed Blue, Leptotes pirithous (Linnaeus, 1767) from the Czech Republic is presented. This thermophilous migrant has been recorded in the country seven times, mostly in warm regions of Moravia and after 2000. In 2022, a single specimen was found in southern Bohemia. This summary indicates a trend of more frequent occurrence of this species in Central Europe in recent warm years.
