individuals it is now possible to make an accurate survey of the butterflies found within the Bakony region. THE ZOOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION OF BAKONY BUTTERFLIES The systemic and faunistic studies of butterfly species found within the Bakony region is of great importance and it is hoped that research on the lifecycles and habitats of such species will help perpetuate their survival. Butterfly genetics is certainly of importance to classification research. From their studies the relationships between species can be better understood. Unless determined conservation measures are undertaken especially concerning butterfly habitat protection some endangered species will not be in existance for future scientific research. Bakony's butterflies can be divided into 8 families and at present 124 species. This does not include the family Hesperiidae. Taxonomic status is based on available literature and generosystematical research and for this purpose the International Kodex of Zoological Nomenclature is used as a guideline. The following chapter deals with some of the more interesting species and discusses their habitats, conservation, flight times and distribution. A simple code is used to show their status. 0- Extinct (no observations in last 10 years) 1- Very endangered (no recent observations) 2- Rare (habitat under threat) 3- Becoming scarce 4- Uncommon 5- Common There are exactly 100 geographical/administrational points (Map 2). A complete map showing all these indexes with their code numbers and UTM coordinates is kept at the Bakony Geographical Centre of Zoogeography housed in the Central Hajag Massif. The centre is marked with the symbol + on this map. SYSTEMATIC LIST OF BUTTERFLIES FROM THE BAKONY REGION I. Family: PAPILIONIDAE Parnassius mnemosyne LINNAEUS, 1758 ssp. bohémien BRYK. Clouded Apollo (Map 4, Item 3) A hyperpolycentrical species locally common in suitable localities around Sümeg in the Southern Bakony. The race is very similar to ssp. litavia which occurs on the Western frontier and in the Hungarian Alps. Many entomologists believe that Bakony populations of P. mnemosyne found there way there from these Western populations. The butterfly is usually on the wing in May but specimens can sometimes be encountered during the last week of April following a warm spell and occasionally in July at higher altitudes following a cold spring (ie. Hajag Massif)- Twenty years ago P. mnemosyne was found quite commonly throughout the range. Strong populations are still to be found in the Balaton Highlands (Hajag Massif, Hárskút Plateau) but it has disappeared from many of its former haunts. Thankfully this species is
