Thecla betulae
(Linnaeus, 1758)
—Another rare butterfly in
Montenegro
, mentioned only by
Bulić
et al.
(2011)
. The species was observed by the author in the vicinity of Nikšić. The lack of data might be explained by its late emergence, and the fact that it is a reluctant flier spending most of the time in the canopy. Consequently, it is probably more widespread in
Montenegro
, especially in the northern part.
