The unknown butterfly discovered in Barcelona

Barcelona has identified for the first time the presence of a new butterfly species, the Provence hairstreak or verdeta d’ull ros in Catalan (Callophrys avis). The finding, which was reported today by the City Council, was made a few weeks ago within the framework of the urban butterfly monitoring program of Barcelona, the uBMS observatory, during a sampling in the Laberint de Horta Park. With this observation, there are now 52 species of diurnal butterflies recorded in Barcelona, a figure that represents approximately 26% of all species present in Catalonia.
