Alexander, how do you distinguish a female satyrus from juenthneri pshuensis? They seem to be running around together somewhere. I like only on the more unstable pigment in satyrus - and they could distinguish.(rub with ethyl acetate)

Ruslan, this is a difficult question. Within the population, the variability is very high. Everything "floats" - size, proportions, sculpture, including prsp. About the persistence of pigmentation-I find it difficult to say anything. Of the males I have blown out, there is not a single juenthneri. Everything is satyrus. There are many more females, and I looked at them for a long time, but I didn't come to anything. I can only say that in that place the percentage of juenthneri is small, compared to satyrus.

In general, we now consider the taxon pshuensis as only an aberration from most likely juenthneri ssp., and the juenthneri population itself in Pskhu-it is not clear how to call it-the nominative is described from a Large Lab. Starting from the Belaya River-the left bank (a tributary of the Aguripsta River), pseudopshuensis pseudopshuensis appears in the Svyatoi district (pic. Byaul and Bitaga are dominated by pseudopshuensis pseudopshuensis - with a small proportion of juenthneri ssp. Females differ in large series - you need to get used to it-I don't remember the signs from memory - you need to look - there is no time now. Until the problem is solved, it is difficult to understand the relationship of 3 taxa pseudopshuensis, satyrus, and juenthneri, and there is no taxon satyrus on the right bank of the Bzyb River.

Igor, thank you for your advice! Dima and I also talked about this topic. And of course I would have to put the name of the taxon with a question mark. Until utryaski and the article is published. Something about this taxon differs from satyrus.
