Eugene, until I started to illustrate the view, because I found the same photo in the form of Eucarta arctides https://insecta.pro/gallery/59716. What is correct? Apparently, here's where the definition of A.Matova? I reviewed all my own and your productions this year. To be honest, I do not have complete clarity on the 3 seaside similar species arctides, arcta and fasciata and do not really feel the difference in the images on the Internet. The Identification of insects of the Far Eastern Federal District (vol.5, part 4, p. 397) distinguishes the appearance of arcta and fasciata. At fasciata " in baz. and in the margins from the inner edge of the wing lies a well-defined light brown smear, bounded by a thin light line", which is not present in arcta. I didn't really understand what kind of brushstroke I was talking about from the images. It also says that arctides has a pattern like these two species (but they are different..), from which it differs only in smaller sizes. True, Alexey watched my entire dv-sovok gallery last year and there were no comments on these definitions.
