The results of preliminary studies of the fauna and flora of the oligo-mesotrophic raised bog “Matkivske bahno” – a new and second known locality of the endangered tyrphobiont species Colias palaeno (Linnaeus, 1761) in the Ukrainian Carpathians are presented. The publication is based on the materials collected during several expedition trips carried out in the summer and autumn of 2023. At this stage of research on the biodiversity of the “Matkivske bahno” raised bog, the main emphasis is placed on the study of the fauna of invertebrates, primarily representing the order Lepidoptera, class Insecta, as well as the flora of bryophytes – Bryophyta and Marchantiophyta. Instead, the remaining taxonomic groups of flora and fauna require further study. Despite the short period of research, 13 species of invertebrates and 9 species of vertebrates listed in the Red Book of Ukraine (2021), 4 species of invertebrates and 1 species of moss under international protection, 20 invertebrates and 9 vertebrates belonging to regionally rare species, as well as a large number of non-protected, but stenobiont, characteristic of swamps, locally widespread and rare species of flora and fauna, were discovered. It was clarified that this raised bog, although had been negatively affected by drainage reclamation and fires in the past, retained key characteristic elements of the respective flora and fauna. Now it is an extremely interesting and valuable biodiversity hot spot in the region that certainly deserves a conservation status. To preserve the “Matkivske bahno” raised bog, a protective regime on its territory should be established and special renaturalisation measures to restore and maintain an optimal hydrological regime should be undertaken.
