Abstract

Zygaena purpuralis (Brünnich, 1763), Z. minos ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) and Z. diaphana Staudinger, 1887 with the same label data from Pelister National Park (Mt. Baba) in southwestern North Macedonia were discovered in the Witt collection (Zoologische Staatssammlung Munich). Consequently, on the basis of sympatry and good differences in male genitalia with Z. minos, Z. diaphana is reinstated to species rank. Zygaena smirnovi Christoph, 1884, is also treated as separate species.
