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.
