Abstract
After the reviewed literature data and its revision, a valorization of the proposed lists of strictly protected species was carried out, whereby 24 species of the order of butterflies - Lepidoptera (Suborder Rhopalocera) are proposed for list I - strictly protected species of the North Macedonian fauna. Of them, 4 species belong to the family Skippers - Hesperiidae; 4 species from the Swallowtails family - Papilionidae; 3 from the family Whites & Sulfurs - butterflies Pieridae; 7 taxa (5 species and 2 subspecies); from the family of Blue, Hairstreaks and Copper butterflies - Lycaenidae and 6 taxa (4 species and 2 subspecies) from the family of Nymphslids & Browns - Nymphalidae.
From the Moths (Suborder Heterocera) we propose 1 strictly protected species for List I.
From the Order Beetles - Coleoptera, for List I - strictly protected species, we propose 4 species: 3 species of the family Cerambycidae and 1 species of the family Scarbidae.
From the Order Grsshoppers, Locusts and Cricets - Orthoptera we propose 18 taxa (16 species and 2 subspecies) for List I - strictly protected species. From the Tetigonidae family we propose 11 taxa (9 species and 2 subspecies); from the family Raphidophoridae 2 species; from the family Acrididae 5 species.
From the Order Flies - Diptera for List I - strictly protected species, we propose 7 species from the family of flies - Syrphidae.
For list I - strictly protected species from the Macedonian fauna, we propose a total of 54 taxa (48 species and 6 subspecies).
