The Natura 2000 Site “Dealurile Clujului Est” is a vast area (24,405 ha) with valuable steppic and forest habitats still very well preserved, but very threatened in the future by real estate development and regional agricultural projects, which will increase because of the proximity of Cluj Napoca metropolitan area. The xeric and mesoxeric steppe meadows harbor a high diversity of plants and animals. In this study we tried to emphasize the importance of this site for the butterfly biodiversity in Transylvanian cultural landscape. We used the transect method, investigating three habitat types: peri-pannonian subcontinental shrubs (40A0*), subpanonnian steppic meadows (6240*) and Molinia meadows (6410), identifying a total of 50 butterfly species. Using similarity measures and ANOVA we showed the similarity between habitat types, regarding the species number, their diversity and equitability, and the number of individuals. We also tried to highlight the number of species with different conservation status, and their distribution in the studied habitat types.
Keywords: butterfly, habitat conservation, protected habitats, similarity, traditional landuse.
