Melitaea latonigena (Eversmann, 1847) View in CoL
Specimens: 12\Dzhabash, 1♂, 1♀.
Remarks: This and the previous species are very close but are well recognised by the veins inside the UNH postdiscal orange band distinctly stressed with black scales, and the black borders of that band contacting veins. In Altai, Krasnoyarskiy Region and Khakassia, M. latonigena replaces M. didyma at higher elevations with in general more wooded environment, yet inhabiting barren open slopes with stony steppe ( Gorbunov, Kosterin 2007). It was natural to find the former from the Sayanian side of the Abazinskiy Pass through the Abakan Mountain Range, at the Dzhabash River in the West Sayan foothills
Observations: Found at stony steppe slope in a brook valley.
