Complete list of Ukrainian Butterflies with old IUCN* categories.

EX = Extinct in your country or region. The species has not been located in the wild during the past 50 years.

E = Endangered. Species in danger of extinction and whose survival is unlikely if the causal factors continue operating. Include butterflies whose numbers have been reduces to a critical level or whose habitats have been so drastically reduced that they are deemed to be in immediate danger of extinction.

V = Vulnerable. Species believed likely to move into the 'Endangered' category in the near future if the causal factors continue operating. Include butterflies of which most or all the populations are decreasing because of over-exploitation, extensive destruction of habitat or other environmental disturbance.

R = Rare. Species with small populations that are not present 'Endangered' or 'Vulnerable', but at risk. Mostly these species are localized within restricted geographical areas or habitats or are thinly scattered over a more Extensive range.

I = Intermediate. Species known to be 'Endangered', Vulnerable' or 'Rare' but where there is not enough information to say which of the categories is appropriate.

K = Insufficiently known. Species that are suspected but not definitely known to belong to any o f the above categories, because of lack of information.

Nomenclature:

There are as many species lists as there are taxonomists. Since the main objective of this project is to establish a list of threatened butterflies in Ukraine which can be used for conservation purposes, and not long debates on taxonomy, it was decided to use the latest comprehensive list of butterflies in the whole of Europe:

Ole Karsholt & Josef Razowski: The Lepidoptera of Europe. A distributional Checklist. Apollo Books, Stenstrup, Denmark, 1996.
