: The adults of diurnal butterflies were observed on the herb-grassland biotopes using modified transect method in the study area of the Telgárt and Šumiac villages to find out the impact of various types of management on their diversity in 2011 – 2013. The contribution is focused on one partial aim – to find out the preference of stenotopic species butterflies to the pastures and hay meadows. The results of analyses showed a positive effect of extensive management and some preference of Argynnis aglaja, Argynnis niobe and Boloria selene to the extensive pastures with a rich offer of the host plants and vegetation heterogeneity. For the meadows mown once a year, high abundance of Lycaenna hippothoe and Brenthis ino was observed, which form a numbered populations here.
