In this series of books (Vols. I-IV), we adopt the IUCN listings of
conservation categories as defined in van Swaay et al. (2010). Regionally Extinct Least Concern
Of 11 notations, we use nine including:
‘'Regionally Extinct’ (RE), ‘Critically Endangered’ (CR), Critically Endangered Data Deficient
‘Endangered’ (EN), ‘Vulnerable’ (VU), ‘Near Threatened’ (NT), Dubi Benyamini
‘Least Concern’ (LC), ‘Data Deficient’ (DD), ‘Not Applicable’ Endangered Not Applicable
(NA) and ‘Not Evaluated’ (NE).
English editors: Eddie John & Arthur M. Shapiro
We use categories as defined in Numa et al. (2016) for those Vulnerable Not Evaluated
Mediterranean butterflies found in the Levant, showing these in
black, e.g. ‘LC’. However, where the conservation status in the Least Concern Design Leah Benyamini
