A contribution to the knowledge of the distribution of diurnal butterflies (Lepidoptera: Rhopalocera) in the Notranjska region - Field data on diurnal butterfly species collected during the Youth Reasearch Camp Stari trg pri Lozu 2000 are presented. During 15th and 23rd June 2000, 48 species of diurnal butterflies from 6 families were recorded at 22 localities in the area of Losko and Babno poljes, the surroundings of Cerknisko jezero and on Bloska planota. Among the observed species, one is included in the Anex II of the Bern Convention, 2 in the Red Data Book of European Butterfiles, 3 in the Atlas of Endangered Diurnal Butterflies of Slovenia, and 7 on the Red List of Endangered Butterflies (Macrolepidoptera) in Slovenia (Dinaric region). Data for Lycaena alciphron in the reasearch area is published for the first time. The wide distribution of Lopinga achine, a vulnerable species in Europe, is of great conservation value.
