Abstract

The authors present the results of the first year of sampling that took place between April and September 2006 within the catchment basin of the Colfiorito plateaus in the eastern part of the Umbria region. The study area was located in two of seven plateaus of Colfiorito, known for their historical value and natural beauty: the Annifo plain (cod. IT5210032) and the Colfiorito marsh (cod.IT5210034). A preliminary fauna list was compiled in which Euphydryas aurinia (Rottemburg, 1775) and Eriogaster catax (L., 1758) are of particular interest as they are included in the EC Habitats Directive 92/43 EEC. Subsequently, the lepidopteran community diversity was analysed using the following ecological indices: Margalef ’s, Shannon-Wiener’s, Simpson’s and Species evenness. Diversity was calculated each month throughout the sampling period as well as for the vegetation that characterises the sampling stations.
