Melitaea phoebe ogygia Fruhstorfer, 1908

[TL: Greece, Poros Island]; name used by VARGA (1967) for Hungarian populations of what proved later to be M. ornata . According to BERNARDI & DE LESSE (1951: 140), a single female “holotype” is present in the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle de Paris (MNHNP) (Figs 8a, b). Fruhstorfer did not routinely designate holotypes but since there is only one specimen it can be regarded as the holotype. From the photograph (Fig. 8b) of the underside of this specimen, it can be seen that it has centrally thickened triangular black submarginal markings not touching the intervening veins on both fore- and hindwings and also foreshortened tips to the antenna (spatulate). Thus ogygia is M. ornata and not M. phoebe as described originally by Fruhstorfer, a suitable label has been attached (Fig. 8c).
