During preparation of the forthcoming volume, The Butterflies of the Levant Vol. III (Nymphalidae), a single male Hypolimnas misippus from the collection of Prof. Hanan BytinskiSalz, collected on the southern coast of Cyprus in August 1936, was found by the author among other H. misippus specimens in the butterfly collection of Tel Aviv University. This is the first and only known record of the Danaid Eggfly from the island and the seventh species addition to the Island's butterfly fauna since the early 1900s. The circumstances of this new record for Cyprus and other related records highlighting northern migration corridors from Africa and Arabia to the Levant and the S. Palaearctic region are elaborated on and discussed.

Incursions of Belenois aurota (Fabricius, 1793), a vigorous, tropical migrant pierid, have become more common in recent years in countries of the southern Levant, with rare appearances in south-eastern Türkiye. Here, we report on the species presence in other Levant countries of the eastern Mediterranean, including Mediterranean Syria and, for the first time, in Cyprus, on which island B. aurota was discovered in 2023. We also report on experiences in south-eastern Türkiye, where, during the same autumn period, extensive breeding resulted in at least three local broods leading to significant population irruptions and dispersal. Likely migration routes via the Jordan Rift Valley System into countries of the Levant are discussed, and we introduce an additional migratory route east of the Lebanon, Anti-Lebanon and Silsilat al-Jib āl as-Sāhilīyah (Latakia) mountain ranges, not previously recognized to our knowledge. The value of the Tigris River as a conduit for migrant butterflies from the Middle East into the provinces of south-eastern Türkiye had previously been documented and is again well illustrated by numerous observations in south-eastern Türkiye along the river's route south from its origins in the mountains of eastern Türkiye. Although B. aurota is recognized as an obligate migrant, it is considered that 2023 weather systems assisted the arrival of the species into the northern Levant and south-eastern Türkiye.

This paper intended to clarify the importance of studying Botan Valley's nature with the biodiversity as an ecotourism site and alternative tourism. Butterfly watching is an alternative sort of ecotourism and special interest tourism activity that has grown in popularity in recent years. Turkey hosts various butterfly species, as it does other animal and plant species. Butterfly watching is important for diversification in the sustainable tourism industry. But butterfly watching has yet to be sufficiently investigated. The authors conducted a case study in Botan Valley, Siirt province, located in southeastern Turkey, to address this deficiency. Botan Valley is among the new national parks of Turkey and spans approximately 29 kilometers. The butterfly species in the study region were identified by collecting or photographing samples between the years of 2017 and 2020. A total of 78 species of butterflies belonging to 7 families were determined. Of those species, 63 were first discovered in the valley. The list of identified species and photos of many species are presented in the paper. The most suitable trekking route has been determined and created in the valley where nature lovers can watch and photograph these butterflies on foot. The diversity of butterflies in Botan Valley contributes to the location's potential as a source of wildlife watching tourism opportunities and alternative ecotourism options in Turkey.
