Imho, that's the very Argynnis ruslana, male. Definitely not paphia (it has different androconiae, etc.)
Sure. I did it many times. :) Actually, I didn't mean aurelia, but wondered why britomartis, that's all.
There we can see antennas from outside are slightly colored red. Anyway, Vlad saw more (shooting or even catching), if identified it like this. ;)

Just for the record: what should be considered that is butterfly's antennas from outside (even though usually it's hardly seen just the smallest part at the end of an antenna). Lineola has dark ones, sylvestris does red. And the sawyere is colored more or less similarly, males have red or something like, females do dark. Also, males can be easily identified by stigmas.
Dmitry, consensus needed. How can it be sylvestris? ;) Stigma is thin, interrupted, antennas are dark from outside...
It should be even upper picture, the amplitude of its swing in from this page to remove Silvestris ... :)
If these are from Caucasus (as far as I can remember, the author is local), should be melotis ponticus then.
No, not to sylvanus. ;) Stigma is clearly seen as well as antennae. Look through few more pictures and compare. Sylvestris.
Note to the form Ochlodes venata (removed from the base of 09.11.2013 14:26): Dear moderators, once again urge you not to be confused with O. venatus O. sylvanus. O. venatus lives in the Far East. Accordingly, it is necessary to transfer pictures to O. sylvanus.
Then let's change its identifying status at least. Maybe, that's really irrelevant, the more, this one is rather worn-out. Anyway, I vote for xanthomelas. ;)
Hm... There, on the 2nd upper photo in the right row you can see similar triangles, and this is the very хanthomelas: http://kharkovbut.narod.ru/xanthomelas.html.
