Yes, you can't have anything else.

1-Lacanobia oleracea
2-Apamea sublustris & Aegle kaekeritziana
3-Apamea monoglypha
micro not mine

Apamea in photo 2 in my opinion is also monoglypha.

I agree, it seemed to me that it is smaller and yellow, probably photo podvelo

Here on molbiol there is an image of a similar butterfly (Catocalinae nec Catocala) - Armada hueberi

I will clarify the genus Armada actually has nothing to do with Catocalinae ,this is a scoop from Acontiinae

In Kazakhstan there is an Armada clio and this is more likely it

Help in determining saturnium. The butterflies were caught in Ecuador in February 2013. The genus is presumably Paradirphia.

3-well, here it is so similar to pernotata (up to 23mm), but in this satyrata-gr., in the summer I had to cook in order to accurately separate the cauchiata and pernotata, and what else do you have..., especially the condition of the specimen. and a picture.
By the way, the Japanese call it antaggregata, Mironov considers it a synonym of

Can I get to the view? Ciscaucasia, appear in the first decade of June, fly for about 2-3 weeks

Can I get to the view?

You can, but only up to two. Either Melitaea caucasogenita or M. aurelia. Before the appearance, it must be dissected. Or at least consider the captured instance.

Maybe someone with an experienced eye can tell you which genus it belongs to: Fabriciana or Mesoacidalia.

To determine other than geography, it is recommended to specify the date. But you have a simple case.
Xestia xanthographa, which means autumn.

Thanks! I suspected as much. Argynnis-Mesoacidalia-Speyeria, what's next .

Yes.This is a bad case. Комментарий E. Rennwald по этому вопросу:
DE MOYA et al. (2017) kommen in ihrer sehr umfassenden Studie zum wenig überraschenden Ergebnis, dass die derzeitige Aufteilung in eine amerikanische Gattung Speyeria und eine europäische-asiatische Gattung Argynnis so nicht haltbar ist. Sie kommen zum Schluss, dass man die Arten alle in einer weit gefassten Gattung (die dann Argynnis hieße) zusammenfassen müsste, oder aber die Arten auf drei Gattungen (Argynnis, Fabriciana, Speyeria) zu unterteilen hätte. Die Entscheidung aus europäischer (und wohl auch asiatischer) Sicht wäre die für eine einzige Gattung, die aus nordamerikanischer Sicht für drei Gattungen unter Beibehaltung von Speyeria. Wörtlich: "In our opinion, there are only two ways to interpret the topology for a robust classification: either the entire clade is considered to be the genus Argynnis or the three strongly supported clades can be considered as the genera Argynnis, Fabriciana and Speyeria." Was verspricht die größte nomenklatorische Stabilität? In Amerika spielen viele Speyeria-Arten im amtlichen Naturschutz eine wichtige Rolle – man darf diese Namen nicht einfach verschwinden lassen. Also: "When considering these two alternatives, we need to take into account issues of stability. The current recommendation is for the entire clade to be called Argynnis (Simonsen et al., 2006), yet in North America Speyeria continues to be widely used, especially in matters related to conservation. We thus feel that retaining the name Speyeria is necessary for stability and consistent usage. This would mean that the name Arygnnis would be applied to Argynnis s.s., that is, all traditionally recognized Palearctic subgenera except Mesoacidalia and Fabriciana." Für uns Europäer hat das zur Folge, dass uns Argynnis paphia, Argynnis pandora und Argynnis laodice erhalten bleiben. Die Kombinationen Fabriciana adippe, Fabriciana niobe und Fabriciana elisa kennen wir ja schon aus der nahen Vergangenheit – die lassen sich also leicht wieder reaktivieren. Lediglich Argynnis aglaja, damals Mesoacidalia aglaja, bekommt eine für unsere Ohren ungewöhnliche, wenn auch nicht neue Kombination: Speyeria aglaja! Die Art gehört in den Verwandtschaftskreis der nordamerikanischen Arten.

Is all this kipezh just for the peace of mind of North Americans?

Yes, it is.

For Sergey R.
Two species from Triphaenopsis Butler, 1878 (Triphaenopsis postflava and Triphaenopsis jezoensis) are listed for the Kuril Islands in AK DV 2016. But your photos definitely do not show Triphaenopsis postflava (Leech, 1900). 9619-Triphaenopsis jezoensis Sugi, 1962. 9587-very similar to Triphaenopsis cinerescens Butler, 1885.9629-possibly Triphaenopsis lucilla (white spots on the wings). Only specialists can give an exact answer.

Olga, thank you for your reply.
I think I collected all four species in the Kuril Islands. Triphaenopsis postflava I collected in 2017, it differs well.
There is also a very large variability in the pattern and background of the front wings, and so I would have thought that there are 6-7 species
As I will spread them out, I will post them later.

Three species of Triphaenopsis were definitely collected on Sakhalin. Triphaenopsis lucilla is questionable for me. It is better to determine when the genus is represented by a single photo.

I started with the sign of the lower wings. Then the eye is drawn to the pattern of the upper wings.

Do you have any specialists on scoops?

Yes, C. morpheus.

In my photos, I came across this one, signed as Eudonia truncicolella. However, it is June, which already casts doubt on this definition, and the location of the dark pattern at the outer edge, where the upper spot connects with the lower one, but not with the middle one, is in principle not very typical for most Eudonia. It seems to me that this is one of the two species whose photos are generally few on the web - either E. murana or E. alpina. But which one is it? Both can fly in June.



Bonus - it turns out that we also have sudetica in our region!
