A total of 2539 moth and butterfly species were registered in the Pálava Protected Landscape Area (SE Czechia) in the last approximately 120 years, out of which 2380 are present in the area to date. In Czechia, 17 species are only known from Pálava. A systematic list of all registered species is supplemented by references to the sources of faunistic data; the finding places are added with the exception of quite common species. Natural conditions of the area are briefly characterized in the introductory chapters as well as the history of moth and butterfly research. Further chapters are devoted to an overall assessment of the Lepidoptera diversity in the area, characteristic species for the individual habitats, temporal changes in the species composition, specially protected species according to current and forthcoming legislation (27 and 25 species, respectively), those included in the Red List of Invertebrates (253 species), and important entomological sites in the vicinity of the Pavlovské vrchy Hills. From the beginning of the 20th century, about 10% of butterflies and almost 1% of moth species have disappeared from the region. The trend of decline is evident by a decrease in the number of individuals more than at species level. 110 important species are shown in photos or pictures.
