I would say that this is not a Plebejus. The fore wing is very round and thick but not as much as in Plebejus I think. Here are pictures that may help you in comparing the species:     Plebejus pylaon sephyrus from Greece. Polyommatus escheri from Spain Your specimen only has shine-through black spots on the dorsal hind wing. P. pylaon has black pigments, P. escheri is shine-through. The black dots in P. escheri are pretty thick in P. pylaon they are slender. The orange spots on the ventral hind wing do reach the other black spots, in P. escheri there is a white space in-between. |
