Hi,

Sorry for poping this thread again. I prepared the genitalia and the first Zygaena cannot be Z. punctum, photos with genitalia attached. I think this is an aberation of Z. viciae, or otherwise it doesn't match anything that is known in Romania. The other 3 below it are indeed Z. punctum. Any other opinions/suggestions?

Thanks,
Bogdan

Specimen data: mid/end of June (19.06) in a dry rocky area (xeric/limestone) in South-West Romania

Thanks,
Bogdan

Hi,
Could somebody please identify the first zygaena? Is it Z. punctum and so are the rest?
Thanks a lot,
Bogdan

Thanks for the advice!

Could somebody provide me some feedback on determining the Polyommatus on the left side of the picture below. To me it looks like an atypical P. bellargus, or maybe the hybrid ssp. polonus (P. bellargus x P. coridon). The underside looks like bellargus or coridon, but the upperside has distinct color from both bellargus or coridon. On the other hand its elongated wing shape reminds more of P. amandus, tough the verso is clearly not so. His lower wings end up in a sharper margin (daphnis style).

Specimen is collected from South-Romania, lime-stone area with sub-mediterranean influences, a location were all previous Polyommatus occur.

Thanks,
Bogdan
