o:5893 New Data on Rare Zygaenidae (Lepidoptera) and Their Habitats in Eastern Serbia en Abstract: In the years 2014-2017, we conducted a study in eastern Serbia in order to find rare Zygaenidae species and identify their suitable habitats. Adscita albanica and Zygaena diaphana were recorded in Serbia for the first time while Z. laeta was recorded for the second time. Here we provide new data on the occurrences of Rhagades pruni, Jordanita graeca, Z. punctum and Z. brizae, all of which are known from very few localities in Serbia. Additional information on habitat, larval host-plants and nectar plants was collected in the field. With exception of J. graeca, this is the first time that these zygaenid species have been linked to a particular plant association and habitat type in Serbia. Arid subcontinental steppic grasslands are considered as the primary habitats for the investigated species in eastern Serbia. Threats and conservation aspects are discussed.
