The butterflies of the Greek Island of Iraklia have been studied systematically for the past 15 years,
revealing the occurrence on the island of 27 species. Included is also the first record of the invasive
Cacyreus marshalli for the Kiklades Islands as a whole and for Iraklia in particular. Finally a synopsis
of the butterflies found in nearby islands is also being presented.

The Palaearctic Grayling genus Pseudochazara encompasses a number of petrophilous butterfly species,
most of which are local endemics especially in their centre of radiation in SW Asia and the Balkans. Due
to a lack of consistent morphological characters, coupled with habitat induced variability, their taxonomy
is poorly understood and species delimitation is hampered. We employed a DNA barcoding approach to
address the question of separate species status for several European taxa and provide first insight into the
phylogeny of the genus. Unexpectedly we found conflicting patterns with deep divergences between presumably
conspecific taxa and lack of divergence among well-defined species. We propose separate species
status for P. tisiphone, P. amalthea, P. amymone, and P. kermana all of which have separate well supported
clades, with the majority of them becoming local endemics. Lack of resolution in the \‘Mamurra\’ species
group with well-defined species (in terms of wing pattern and coloration) such as P. geyeri, P. daghestana
and P. alpina should be further explored using nuclear molecular markers with higher genetic resolution.

Twenty-one butterfly species group taxa, the authorship of which has been traditionally attributed to FRIVALDSZKY by classical XlXth century lepidopterists, though validly described for the first time either by FREYER (eleven taxa), HERRICII-SCH\ÄFFER (seven taxa) or FRIVALDSZKY himself (three taxa), are discussed in the context of historical material provided to the first two workers, either directly or indirectly, by FRIVALDSZKY and referred to as such in their works as well as in those of other contemporary authors. Special attention is further paid to the Frivaldszky Insect Collection, currently deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum and to its Catalogue (FRIVALDSZKY 1864a). Five nomina nuda have been published by FRIVALDSZKY before any valid and available description appeared for the taxon in question, eight afterwards. Syntypes are determined here for the nominal taxa Lycena [sic!] eroides FRIVALDSZKY, 1835 and Chilades trochylus var. grisea ABAFI-AlGNER, 1906, while the type locality of nine nominal taxa is either determined or corrected and one new synonym is established. With 15 figures.
