Abstract

A checklist of Lepidoptera (families Nymphalidae, Papilionidae and Pieridae) was made in the subtropical mountainous forest within the Acaragua River basin, situated in the southeastern part of Misiones province, in Argentina. In this area, a reforestation program with native tree species is currently underway, thus a biodiversity survey is of high importance. The specimens were captured with entomological nets and baited traps during seven campaigns; February, July, and November, 2011; January, April-May and August, 2012; and January, 2013. A total of 83 species (65 Nymphalidae, 9 Papilionidae, 9 Pieridae) from 54 genera (43 Nymphalidae, 6 Pieridae, 5 Papilionidae) were found.
