Contribution to the butterfly fauna of the Keszthelyi hills (Hungary) IMRE GÁBOR CSONTOS Nowadays the region of the Lake Balaton is high importance from nature and environment conservational point of view. The Keszthelyi mountains situate on the northern side of the lake. The highest point of the mountain is 448m (Köves-tető). The Keszthelyi mountains measure approximately 350 km2. The aim of the research was to investigate the butterfly fauna of the mountains, since it is slightly researched. This survey was done between 2003-2005. The main collecting method was netting. Altogether 94 species were detected, of which 23 are protected. 16 species were found that had not been reported yet from the Keszthelyi mountains, while 6 species documented in the literature were not found. Most of the collected species fly in July or August. The existing marshlands claim for increased protection, since most rare species (Lycaena dispar, Maculinea teleius, Maculinea nausithous, Euphydryas aurinia, Euphydryas maturnd) are living in these areas moreover, being part of Natura 2000 program, they have as much European as Hungarian importance. On the other hand the open dry fields provide the habitats for many rare species (Spialia orbifer, Lycaena alciphron, Mellitaea phoebe). Due to the remarkable invasion of Pinus nigra and Ailanthus altissima it is necessary to make some extend conservational handlings in some places.
