List of the butterflies of Cáceres, Extremadura
This list has been compiled using Blázquez, A, Nieto, M & Hernández, R. (2003) Mariposas
diurnas de la provincia de Cáceres. Junta de Extremadura, Consejería de Agricultura y Medio
Ambiente, Mérida. Nomenclature and taxonomic order follow Tolman, T. & Lewington, R. (1997)
Collins Field Guide: Butterflies of Britain & Europe. HarperCollins, London, and the Spanish
translation, updated in 2002.
Badajoz province, to the south, has just five different species, but a considerably lower diversity of butterflies overall (just 86 species), owing to the lack of montane habitats.
