- Abstract
The diurnal butterflies (Lepidoptera: Rhopalocera) were studied in two areas of the Tebessa region: forest (Bekkaria) and open grassland (Gaagaa). During the period November - April 2017-2018, thirty-one species and five families were inventoried, the specific richness is higher in Gaagaa (30 species). The Pieridae family is most abundant at both sites. Pontia daplidice and Pieris rapae are the most abundant species in Bekkaria, Pontia daplidice - only in Gaagaa. The stand reaches its peak of activity in April when the two dominant species are very abundant. The diversity is close in the two sites and the populations are balanced.
