Izvod
Erebia aethiops (Esper, 1777) is an Eurasian butterfly species. Results of the previous studies revealed the presence of only four species belonging to the genus Erebia (Dalman, 1816) on Kopaonik mountain (Mt. Kopaonik), including Erebia ligea (Linnaeus, 1758), Erebia euryale (Esper, 1805), Erebia medusa (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) and Erebia ottomana (Herrich-Schäffer, 1847). A recent finding of the species Erebia oeme (Hübner, 1804) pointed to insufficient research of this group of mountain butterflies on Mt. Kopaonik. This is confirmed by the last finding of Erebia aethiops (Esper, 1777) on two locations at high elevations of Mt. Kopaonik.
