Abstract		Based both on published and original data, we provide an overview on the distribution, ecology and conservation status of Muschampia cribrellum (Eversmann, 1841) at the western limit of its range. We report the presence of the species in four countries (Romania, Bulgaria, Republic of Macedonia and Serbia) with atotal of28 confirmed sites out ofwhich 11 are mentioned here for the first time. The presence of M cribrellum in Hungary is questioned due to lack of relevant material. We discuss the past, current and potential distribution of M cribrellum in each of the countries involved. Special attention is given to ecological and conservation aspects by discussing key factors (behaviour, phenology, habitat requirements and preimaginal stages) involved in the species distribution, dynamics and survival.
