Hesperiidae

Question.
Attention has already been drawn to the significant difference between western and southern Pyrgus serratulae in Ukraine.
Different subspecies?

Has Serratula ever been pointed out from Udmurtia?

 
I wonder how morphologists can comment on this?

  
Pyrgus bellieri (range: Eastern Pyrenees, Alpes-Maritimes, Appennines...) - after all, according to De Jong, it should have exactly three postvaginal lobes (and now their postvaginality is clearly visible...

If it turns out that it is her, it remains to exclaim: "nikhilyj gap area!"

By the way, Eugene, did De Jong not respond to your email?

It looks like a hermaphrodite with a predominance of the female and reduced male genitalia, which turned into a postvaginal plate. Lateral lobes - valvae, central process-uncus. It would be necessary to look in detail at a larger zoom!

And who is this?

Perhaps this is the missing element to the row in the post URL207 

3. Or maybe Ivy wrote everything down correctly, but accidentally there was a "typo" in the correspondence "Ivy-okoem".
....
Triphysa phryne (Satyridae) and so it turns out. In 2003, in the book "Butterflies of Eastern Europe, Urals and Caucasus: An illustrated guide" (Kuiv – Brno, 176 p.) on page 85 (view No. 220) on the map, Crimea is included in the zone of "areal shading".

IMHO, knowing and correctly presenting the history of studying the fauna of your native land is just as important as knowing (and not messing around!) the very history of your native country.

And who is this? Was it really Alveus? Also something in between... I am interested in the opinion of my colleagues.

From the collection of the Museum of Nature of Kharkiv University.

Probably armoricanus. After all, the cucullus varies within some limits... And the base of the garp is quite narrow. If you compare with the alveus above, this drug pulls more on the armoricanus.

And alveus. The date is not specified on the label... There is a "female". And it is interesting that in terms of habit, this copy is very similar to the one I have from Bashkiria (I haven't cooked it yet): longer forewings, darker hindwings... In general, I sincerely hope that this is a copy from Ukraine

In the case of modern "discoveries" - yes, it should be so. But what about the species that were first identified 100 years ago?

Previously, people sincerely believed that the earth is flat... Time inexorably puts everything in its place!

What kind of biotope (if not a secret)?

A MASTERPIECE!!! the pictures are amazing!!! only the left valva is so clear and transparent (if you look closely - there is an asymmetry in the pictures) that it seems as if the right valva was removed twice!!!

Carterocephalus silvicola Meigen, 1829
Perhaps the most widespread now in the Moscow region tolstogolovka.
The picture was taken yesterday, in the forest, in the vicinity of my city.

Second generation??? They only seem to produce one generation a year.Or is it not so?
Something very late for this species-July 2.

You should read there on June 2.
