Just this time agree with wikipedia. Couldn't attach here scan of a page from the English identification guide, so used wikipedia link. Didn't check the English version, blame me :)

Meh, Vasily, Vasily. You yourself were against wikipedia links ;--) Not to name our own English version where this species properly has its common name.

In English yes, that's right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaniska_canace.
There is also white admiral or Limenitis camilla.
Different countries use different common names which meant that the only one and right name is the Latin one.

Irina, the website search works good. Just you should enter the species name, say, "canace" for this one, and voila, autosuggestion works fine.

28.02.2013 18:35, Vasiliy Feoktistov This species is identified correctly.

For some reason the autosuggestion didn't work... The pic is hardly of good quality, yet I decided to upload this since the species was not illustrated with nature pics.
