Erebia pharte (Hübner, 1804)

—The only record of this species in Montenegro ( Jakšić 2003b) refers to the Čakor pass, but without any detail on where the data originated. In his paper Jakšić (2003b) discussed the presence of E. manto in the area, while the presence of E. pharte was mentioned but not discussed. The discovery of the latter species in this area would be a much more remarkable finding. The closest populations to the aforementioned record from Čakor are in Romania (Székely 2008) and the Alps (Tolman & Lewington 2008). In a personal communication with P. Jakšić it was established that the record originated from the Master’s thesis of a biology student. Taking all these facts into consideration, E. pharte is excluded from the list.
