Sažetak
After more than 40 years the nymphalid butterfly Nymphalis vaualbum was rediscovered in Croatia. A single specimen was found on Papuk Mt. in the spring area of Dubočanka stream in July 2004. The habitats on Papuk Mt. are suitable for the species long term survival ; therefore the area was proposed as NATURA 2000 site for this threatened and protected species. As the species has disappeared from many European countries, this recent record is of great importance and emphasizes the need for further field research efforts to confirm a resident populations of species, a distribution area and population status.
