Tapeworms and mottles (Limenitinae): Limenitis, Seokia, Neptis Aldania

Cherkasy or Chernivtsi region? Unclear. Please clarify)

When I posted on the forum, the label was not at hand, I wrote from memory, so I made a little mistake, and then corrected it. Here is the original label

Most likely, the label is incorrect. Kaniv Nature Reserve is well-studied, it has long been regularly visited by entomologists, not to mention the biology students of Kiev University, who annually pass an internship here. If there was a reducta population, it would be known.

Vascular plants of the Kanevsky Reserve, 1991, p. 56: "Lonicara tatarica L. - Tatar honeysuckle.
In other words, in the Kanevsky Reserve, honeysuckle is not an indigenous plant and grows mainly "in the estate". If L. reducta had settled on the estate, it would hardly have gone unnoticed.

I don't know about Limenitis reducta, but for 30 years in the Zaporozhye region Limenitis camilla, I caught it once and I know about another meeting. Both places are actively visited. So far, the impression is that these are flights. I suspect that the option of getting knocked up can also beat here.

I doubt that it is wrong. At that time, if I'm not mistaken, Raevsky was a student, and he could easily have caught her there.
In the Kanevsky Reserve, I myself caught when I was there in practice, and I saw that most students mostly catch there, although this is banal, but from time to time there are very interesting specimens.

OK, I'll keep that in mind.

Camilla is known from many places in Ukraine, including Dnepropetrovsk and Donetsk regions, so flights to Zaporozhye are not surprising. With reducta, the situation is different: the closest find to Kanev (and one that requires confirmation) is in the vicinity of Mogilev-Podilsky, which is about 300 km away. The nearest stable populations are in Slovakia, southwestern Romania, and the Caucasus. Fly far

Since such a binge has already started , here is another reducta. It is kept in the collection of the Museum of Nature of Kharkiv National University. "Kruzhkovtsy" - this is, apparently, young people (a circle of young people existed in the museum at that time). I don't take it seriously: the place is very well studied, and butterflies have the property of flying from mattress to mattress (and butterflies-crawl from butterfly to butterfly... ). But since a collection of "Ukrainian" reductas is going to be collected here, let's add this one.

Regarding Limenitis reducta in the Crimea.

Ivy and Co. wrote that one old specimen from Crimea was known with the label " Old Crimea "(now stored in ZINA), now the species, according to them, has been found again in the vicinity of Yalta.

I couldn't find anything more about the discovery near Yalta myself. Who knows anything about it?

Neptis yerburii pandoces
