On the second picture i think it is Arctia intercalaris and on the first picture the both butterflies are different spezies. The butterfly on top i dont know, and the other i think it is glapyhyra.

Hello Xawery,
the 2 specimen of the first picture should be Palearctia glaphyra aksuensis (O. BANG-HAAS, 1927).
The specimen of the second picture should be Arctia intercalaris intercalaris (EVERSMANN, 1843).

thank you very much!

I suppose the first specimen on the first picture is Sibirarctia (Chelis?) kindermanni.

Hi Toni,
cannot be Sibirarctia (Chelis) kindermanni for at least 2 reasons:
The body of Sibirarctia (Chelis) kindermanni is always RED with black markings on the back. This one has a black body with rings of yellow hair as Palearctia glaphyra. Besides after literature Sibirarctia (Chelis) kindermanni doesn´t occur at such altitudes over 2.500m, where P. glaphyra can be found.
Regards Thomas

You're right, it's not Sibirarctia but Palearctia sp. I found a website with Asian species of this genus. It can be Palearctia ershoffi or P. sussamyra.

I think, Xawery, You will have to do analysis of genitalia structures.
