Issoria lathonia (Linnaeus, 1758) View in CoL ( Nymphalidae ) **

L27; 15/VII/2019, nect. on T. caeruleum , 1 ex. v., JLR.

Comment: This is one of three species for which only a single sighting was recorded in Ceuta during this study. The only recorded specimen was found in mid-July and may have been a dispersive individual, given the pronounced migratory tendency of this species ( García-Barros et al., 2013) and the very possible absence of a breeding population in the city, given its extreme rarity.
