Re: Erebia from Northern Italy help for ID
I like this very much for styx (female, subspecies trigilites). Among other features, the steep outward sweep of the foremost eyespots is good. The only real possibilities are styx, styrius and montana. Of the three, montana is by far the commonest, and is very variable, but I don't think this is it.
I'd be interested to hear other opinions, but if I were out looking for styx and saw this, I would think I had found it!
