List of butterflies of Saimbeyli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of butterflies of Saimbeyli, a district located on the middle section of the Taurus Mountains chain in the northern end of Adana Province in southern Turkey. In their three volumes of Die Tagfalter der Türkei, Hesselbarth et al. [1] listed 121 butterfly species from Saimbeyli before 1995. The list was updated with 40 new species which have been recorded in several field studies between 2012 and 2016, and the number of species was determined as 161 in total. S. Wagener [2] argued that Saimbeyli is a valuable habitat for 11 endemic and 15 rare butterfly taxa, and the only locality for Polyommatus theresiae.
