Understood, Sasha, thank you! I'm sure I can't figure it out on my own) And xanthodippe is also in Blue (resp. and on our website) available for Primorye, so the choice is great)

Ira, I just looked at the Catalog of Rhopalocera of the former USSR Korba 2016. there are no such taxa xipe, or I did not find it. These are coredippe, nerippe, vorax., where is a species, where is a synonym. I don't see any point in digging deeper.The site lists the curator of Korb. This is his paraphrase, let it work.

I didn't find the xipe taxon in Blue at all (maybe now it's xanthodippe?) Sasha, if you have time, please watch the discussion on molbiol that I linked to here https://insecta.pro/gallery/33422. There just Pavel Gorbunov identified butterflies from Primorye as Argynnis xipe. At Tuzov's http://rusinsects.com/nymph/n-a-xipe.htm it is indicated in Taxanomic notes that this species was until recently confused with A. adippe and A. niobe, and there to xipe in similar species these 2 species are given and it is noted that they differ from xipe genitally. L. V. Kaabak's 2012 Guide to Butterflies of Russia presents species from the adippe-like group - xipe, coredippe, nerippe, and vorax-for Primorye. It would be interesting to know if there was a revision of the kind that is written about everywhere and what the result is. I didn't find any new data on Molbiol.

I would also say that Argynnis adippe is here. On molbil, http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtopic=193914&st=50 , referring to Korshunov, they write that Fabriciana xipe does not exist.

And under what name is it listed in the Sineva catalog? If not Argynnis adippe?, then it is not clear why there is no 40 region.

Think here Argynnis xipe (here Fabriciana xipe)
