SpeciesThe territory of Armenia is located at the intersection of the two zoogeographical provinces dominating in the region – European and Iranian, which have had a major impact on the formation of the species composition of the fauna of butterflies.
Long-term geographic isolation of the region, climatic peculiarities and a variety of landforms actively contribute to the process of speciation and has led to the emerging of a significant number of species, often represented by local forms, with a total of 236 recorded species. |
