“…By this work the authors continue their series of publications dealing with various aspects of Zygaenidae study (Can Cengiz et al 2018;Efetov et al 2015aEfetov et al , 2015bEfetov et al , 2018Efetov & Tarmann, 2016;Razov et al 2017;Subchev et al 2016) including Zygaenidae in art (Efetov & Tarmann, 2008;Nazari & Efetov, 2023). In 2008 the authors published a paper in the Entomologist's Gazette (Efetov & Tarmann, 2008) in which they mentioned one of the oldest images of Zygaena Fabricius, 1775 (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Zygaenidae), painted in the 17th century by the Dutch artist Otto Marseus Van Schrieck approximately 100 years before the "Systema Natura" of Carolus Linnaeus.…”
