Any other thoughts?

If there is any reliable feature to make it possible to distinguish these two species by photo? If not, let's be consistent and move this and other photos of these two species to uncertain or move this image to successfully identified as there were no up-to-date founds of A. agestis, or namely specimens which could be only by exterior referred to A. agestis.

Not identified → Aricia artaxerxes / Tentatively identified / Sergei Kotov.

Imho, those who think it's really easy to differ these two Aricia, see the world through pink glasses. :) Sure, there are obvious cases, but to deal with our Kharkov butterflies, I can't clear it up without "rocket artillery" (which I hope some day I'll finally get in use :) Tough case... :) Anyway, as to this specimen, I'd rather lean to Sergey, not surely though. I'd move it to uncertain.

Evgeny Karolinsky, what do you say?

Sergey, your opinion is already there, do not repeat, I heard it.

Alexander! I still insist on the option Aricia artaxerxes. At Aricia agestis much more thick red stripe on the edge of the front wing than at Aricia artaxerxes. Here, the edge of the front wing seen enough to see that the red strip is narrow, not broad. Thus, it isAricia artaxerxes

At Aricia agestis much more thick red stripe on the edge of the front wing than at Aricia artaxerxes: http://insectamo.ru/rhop/36-rhop/lycaenidae/100-aricia-agestis.

And why in the uncertain?

Polyommatus icarus / Confidently identified / Vitaly Gumenuk → Not identified.

What about Aricia agestis, from Ikarov Uberall and Aricia we are waiting for confirmation.

It is not Polyommatus icarus! It -Aricia artaxerxes
