Kefalonia Graylings

Post by Stevieb »

Hi all. I'm currently in Kefalonia and have a couple of Graylings giving me a headache. Any advice on id would be very much appreciated.

Eastern Grayling? Southern Grayling? Grayling itself doesn't occur in Greece or the Ionian Islands as far as I am aware.

Many thanks for any assist

Hi
I am not an grayling expert, but I would call the first 2 Balkan Grayling (Hipparchia senthes) and the last 4 for Delattin´s Grayling ( Hipparchia volgensis)

After a closer look in my books, acording to Pamperis, senthes has not been reported from Kefalonia, so the first 2 must be female volgensis and the last 4 volgensis male
