Nymphalis xanthomelas (Esper, [1781]) View in CoL
Specimens: 8\Uybat, 1 spec.; 14\Sayanskiy Pass, 3 spec.
Observations: Most intriguingly, this was among the most abundant butterfly on mountain tops above the Sayanskiy Pass, having got there because of hilltopping behaviour (when the butterflies use local relief maxima as sexual meeting points). Obviously freshly emerged individuals were observed, which would aestivate later.
