Annotation The butterfly fauna of altitude zones of the central and southern parts of the Eastern Transbaikalia was studied using quantitative counts during four years. According to the results of the study, a classification of butterfly species reflecting their distribution in different biotopes was formed. About 80 % of Transbaikalian Diurna are associated with forest-steppes and meadow-forested boreomontane landscapes up to 800–1000 meters. The share of typically taiga, high mountain and steppe species and those inhabiting built up areas and degraded lands is comparatively small. In total 155 butterfly (Diurna) species were recorded in the study area.
Key words Verchneamurskoe Srednegorye, Eastern Transbaikalia, butterflies, preference type.
