Nymphalis xanthomelas
(Esper, 1781)
—An apparently rare nymphalid in
Montenegro
, possibly due to a confusion in identification with the more common species
N. polychloros
. To date, only mentioned by Sijarić (1984), Sijarić
et al.
(1984) and
Jakšić (1988)
. However, all records seem to originate from one sighting from the Durmitor area. Another record for this species is given by
Radović
et al.
(2008)
for the
Skadar
Lake, based on data supplied by P. Jakšić. However, there is no detailed information on the exact locality or date of sighting. Its precise distribution and frequency needs further research.
