Abstrakt     The Small Bath White, Pontia chloridice (Huebner, 1813), is a rare species in the Balkan Peninsula and has been known only by two reliable historical records from the Republic of Macedonia. Its presence was therefore considered a result of rare long distance migrations to the country. In the last three years the species was observed on several occasions in the wide aliuviums of the tributaries of the Vardar River in the south-eastern part of the country. The larval host plant Cleome ornithopodioides and larvae of P. chloridice were also discovered indicating that the species is a resident in this region. Although the suitable habitats are limited, there is currently no immediate threat to the species.
