in order to dilute the resulting flood-part of my collection

everything is strictly geographical, others are not accepted! the geography of the collection itself - now it is a little out of the office and began to actively capture the hall, migrants come from the kitchen and bathroom

in short, I am engaged in decorating walls, more precisely, furniture walls from the inside and decorating floors, cabinets and shelves

[attachmentid ()=183134]
[attachmentid()=183135]
[attachmentid()=183136]
[attachmentid()=183137]
in the middle of small boxes for small families of small beetles in two layers deep
[attachmentid()=183138]
[attachmentid()=183139]
just a stone...in the background, a cone from the Weimutov pine (Yekaterinino T. O. Arboretum)
[attachmentid ()=183140]
[attachmentid ()=183141]
invaders frozen before attack
[attachmentid ()=183142]

You are not afraid for the legs of beetles, they can break, right?

No, I'm not afraid: I just don't put it very tightly in the box. I'm used to it this way

Previously, in general, I put barbels with a mustache that was not bent back: later, they started to bend back.......
P.S. (I'll add about the legs): undoubtedly, this edit takes up more space, but I think that the legs of a beetle (in many cases an important distinguishing feature) should be visible. Moreover, there are no criteria for editing beetles: usually the legs and antennae are compressed solely to save space. You just need to work carefully with the collection and that's it.

Such a spreading of beetles as you have, is usually used as an exposition option, for showcases. And it was customary to place the legs and whiskers of insects near the body not to save space, or rather not only to save money, but mainly to save them from breakdowns. Close to the body legs and whiskers are normally visible. At work, you often have to deal with donated insects, including with such a spread, then you have to remount them - to save them forever. You don't have to be an overseer around each person to keep them neat.

Other authors might as well answer that there are three subgenera. Even in the articles discussed recently in another topic by Anu and Teye, the genus Parnassius is everywhere . This is a different interpretation of different authors, the same as in the case of "Phengaris and Maculinea".

You are mistaken.
The point is not in the interpretation, but in the depth of misconceptions.
Many people think of themselves as high-level specialists, but in fact they know a little about colored wings, and nothing more.
"Parnassius" has absolutely nothing to do with science. For more than 150 years it has been an object of philately; philatelists are more comfortable when their entire group of collectibles is called " postage stamps "(in other words, "Parnassius"), and not "stamps", "blocks", etc. (in other words, "Parnassius", "Driopa", etc.), and differs only in drawing (why should a philatelist go deeper?). The fact that many "authors" never even thought to cook the genitals of these very "Parnassius" (as well as the "Maculinea" or "Phengaris" you mentioned) is just a demonstration of an impenetrable desire to simplify everything in the world (I would call it something else-impenetrable idiocy, but I'm afraid they will be offended).

In taxonomy, signs are used in a complex way. A single sign does not have absolute importance.

Regarding specifically Parnassiinae, I recommend this article:
