Pseudochazara cingovskii (Macedonian grayling) is a species of butterfly in the Nymphalidae family. It is found only in the village of Pletvar. The males are a little smaller than the females. It is a cool pale grey brown, the upperside bands being particularly noticeable. Its habitat is scattered with white limestone rocks and when at rest on the white limestone, it is very difficult to notice it due to its very pale underside.
