contents <p>Due to limited resources for conservation purposes, conservation eorts have to be precisely<br>directed in a way that would ensure the protection of as many imperilled species as possible. To<br>be able to do that, it is necessary to implement systematic sampling as a basis for conservation.<br>Building on the work of Vuji¢ et al. (2016), in the period from 2016. to 2018, systematic sampling<br>of hoveries on designated localities on the territory of Republic of Serbia was conducted. The aim<br>of this study was to designate new species of conservation concern (PHA species) and additional<br>Prime Hovery Areas (PHAs), based on the new records from recent eld work. Methodology of<br>Vuji¢ et al. (2016) was followed, species or area had to meet at least one of the criteria in order<br>to be denoted as PHA species or area. According to our results, 16 species met the requirements<br>to be marked as PHA species, while seven areas met the criteria to be designated as PHAs.<br>Additionally, designated areas where overlapped with Protected Areas, Prime Buttery Areas<br>and Important Bird Areas to determine the percentage of overlapping between new PHAs and<br>areas which have some form of recognition and/or protection in Serbia. Results of this study<br>can signicantly contribute in planning future monitoring activities and creating conservation<br>strategy for the preservation of important hovery species in Serbia. They also represent a solid<br>foundation for alteration or expansion of legislative concerning this insect group.</p>
