    Phengaris arion and Phengaris alcon are two species of butterflies from the family Lycaenidae which are threatened at a local and global level. Both species are known from Škofjeloško, Cerkljansko ... and Rovtarsko Hills, from where only a handful localities were reported until 2018. Furthermore, both species have already disappeared completely from some of the historical localities. During our surveys between 2018 and 2023 a total of 27 new localities for one or both species were discovered. One strong population with numerous individuals was discovered for P. alcon, while 26 new localities were discovered for P. arion, establishing Škofjeloško Hills as one of the strongholds of the species in Slovenia. The newly discovered populations are not only important from the conservation perspective for both species, but also present the opportunity to widen the now well-established regular monitoring of the threatened Slovenian butterflies.
