Abstract
The Procridinae are a subfamily of Zygaenidae and are generally perceived as difficult group as the examination of genital structures are needed for the correct identification of most species in Europe. In Croatia, 11 species belonging to this subfamily were recorded so far, but the records for most of them are rather scarce, and based on a limited amount of published data. In order to bridge the gap in knowledge, 188 specimens belonging to this subfamily were collected across Croatia in the last decade. From the collected material nine species have been identified while the historical records of two of them, T. ampellophaga and J. budensis have not been confirmed. Of the recorded species, J. globulariae and A. mannii were the most common ones while almost all other species were rather local or rare. For each of other species this work significantly expands their known distribution in Croatia.
