We report on the presence of Issoria lathonia (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Heliconiinae) in the Troodos Mountains in Cyprus. Although a very common species in parts of Europe, I. lathonia was not recorded in Cyprus until 2016, when a singleton was seen. No further observations of this rare species in Cyprus were reported until April 2023, when further singletons were observed by two of the authors of this paper. It is hoped that by creating awareness of the rarity of Issoria lathonia in Cyprus, further reports might be forthcoming. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper presents an analysis of texts written by Camillo Boito, an Italian architect, theoretician and critic of architecture and restoration, in the 1860s. The texts were published in the newspaper La Perseveranza and the journals Il Politecnico and Nuova Antologia. By analysing Boito's tractates on competitions, current state of architectural design and the need for the creation of a national architecture the author places texts within a political context of the Italian unification.

Although characteristic for his entire oeuvre, Boris Krstulović's design method is analyzed in this paper in relation to the 1960 residential building on Petretić Square in Zagreb. Placed within Croatian and international architectural trends the building reveals features of the Zagreb school of architecture. It shows the architect's critical assimilation of world trends, distance from the current production and the creation of an anthological work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper shows the urban development of Mostar mahalles and deals with the dilemma of their number from the 16th to the late 19th c. when the city came under the Austro-Hungarian administration. Based on the known defining elements of the mahalle, the number, construction date, location and size have been determined for the Mostar mahalles, thus giving insight into Mostar's urban development in 16th-19th c. The research shows local particularities of mahalles and their status as autonomous residential urban units in the Ottoman period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Through comparative analysis the paper examines the influence on the expansion of Brussels' urban structure by the choice of locations for the world and international exhibitions held in the city from 1888 to 1958. Research results show that the organisation of the exhibitions enticed the expansion of Brussels' urban structure in the directions of the chosen locations determining thereby longterm directions of the city's development. The conclusion is that the choice of exhibition location does exert influence on the growth of urban structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
