Lycaenidae

  Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) ninae.
This is the first time I've seen this species live.

Please tell me, how do you distinguish it from surakovi?

Who's that?"
Dagestan, Kosob. V. 1995

Among the distinguishing features, the difference in the color of the wings is clearly noticeable. In surakovi, it has a more pronounced silvery hue. The underside of the wings is lighter.

These are the sizes of pigeons: Arhopala hercules. Nearby for comparison are Hipparchia volgensis and Polyommatus icarus.

A recent article by a team led by Vladimir Lukhtanov describing two new genetic twin species of pigeons (subgenus Agrodiaetus).
Nomenclature acts will come into force after the release of the paper version, which is promised in 2 weeks.

Dear golubyanka experts, please help me figure it out. From the underside - a typical icarus, inside it is very similar to argus. What is it? July 1, near Bryansk.

  
The presence of eros in our region is doubtful, according to the books it should be found somewhere far to the east. (although I have already had such findings, which do not fully correspond to the book's information).

Pigeon girls from Antalya. 1400 m. n. u. Beginning of July 2015. Dry mountain meadows with chalk outcrops.
My unprofessional view:
1 P. icarus
2 P. icarus
3 P.icarus
4 P. Icarus
5 P. eurypilus?
6 P. loewii ?
7 P.Icarus
8 P.icarus
9 P.loewii
10 P. eurypilus?
11 P.loewii
12 P.loewii
13 P.loewii
14 P.loewii

In the topic definition while silence, maybe there are more knowledgeable comrades here?

I would say
6-Kretania eurypilus

Cook the pussies. They are very different for Cretanians and Plebeians.

  Polyommatus coelestinus

Saratov region, Saratovsky district, Bagayevka neighborhood, spring 2015

The first seems to be really coelestinus-and the second Glaucopsyche alexis.

Another serving. These from Isparta, early July 2015, 1300-1500 m. n., clearings in coniferous forests.





Here the definition turned out to be a little more difficult for me.
1-4 Found this species Polyommatus cornelia. If I hadn't found it, I would have thought it was Eros. There is also a variant of P. myrrha. In general, I find it difficult! If anyone has photos of cornelia and myrrha can post?
5. There are no options at all.
6. Dorylas?
Then everything seems to be clear, but just in case I decided to check out
7. L. ottomana
8. K. eurypilus
9. local argus
10. Daphnis
11-12 Belargus
13-18 icarus? Something they are very different for one place, especially 16 strange.
