Insecta, Lepidoptera, distribution, faunistics, PortugalAbstract
This paper is the nineteenth in the series of annual summaries presenting new information on Portuguese Lepidoptera. Based on fieldwork and studies carried out by the authors and others during 2024, ten species are added to the Portuguese Lepidoptera fauna, including one species new to the Iberian Peninsula, while one species is removed. In addition, several new province and other noteworthy records are reported. A summary of recent publications affecting the Portuguese fauna is also provided. The revised total number of Lepidoptera species recorded from Portugal, considering also the taxonomic updates discussed in recent publications, now stands at 2816.
