Base gallery. Upperside. Alive insect.

Photo: Alexsandr Martukov. Image without retouching at the website. Identified by: Eugene Karolinskiy. Tentative identification

Date and time, location shooting/catching: 2014-06-13 00:00:00, Vologda region, Veliky Ustyug, the outskirts of the city near the railway station, a lawn on the edge of a moistened pine forest.

Photographer's comment: It looks like a dark Atalia... And Phoebe's characteristic cutout on the front fenders is not noticeable...Maybe it's Melitaea aurelia or Melitaea britomartis...

Why can not it be britomartis?

Similar in color specimen from the same habitat. http://lepidoptera.ru/gallery/30771

Melitaea phoebe / Alexsandr Martukov → Melitaea diamina / Eugene Karolinskiy.
