Relevance of the collections of the Croatian Natural History Museum for the faunistic study of the Zygaenidae of Croatia

The Croatian Natural History Museum was founded in 1846 and from that time on it collects, purchases, cares for and studies natural treasures from Croatia and neighbouring countries. The Lepidoptera collection hosts about 90 000 specimens organized in ten collections. Only a part of this collection has been published so far. The authors have therefore revised this collection together and a publication is in preparation.The analysed collections of Zygaenidae comprise 24 species (with 552 specimens).The examined species originate from the following six countries: Bosnia and Hercegovina (15 specimens), Croatia 22(431), Macedonia 2 (3), Montenegro 5 (29), Serbia 2 (3) and Slovenia 8 (71).
