Hi all,

Recently got this Parnassius delphius. It's got very subdued/subtle markings. Anyone got any idea of the subspecies? The data reads Chanach Pass (3600m above sea level), Chatkal Mountains, Western Tian-Shan.

Thanks in advance for any assistance! ;D

Simon

In the western part of Tian Shan (Chatkal Range), it's the ssp. Parnassius delphius namanganus ELWES, 1886.

Ssp. namanganus flies from East of Tashkent (in the West) to the West of Lake Issyk Kül (in the East) : Chatkal Range, Suusamyr Range, Kirghiz Range.

North of Issyk Kül Lake, it's ssp. pulchra, and South of the same lake, it's ssp. menander. In the Naryn area and Baybiche Alatau, it's albulus.
