Melitaea phoebe (Goeze, 1779) Synonym

Çalişkan, Selma Seven & Bozaci, Vildan, 2015, A new form of Melitaea phoebe (Goeze, 1779) (Lepidoptera) from the Mediterranean region (Turkey), Turkish Journal of Zoology 39 (4), pp. 625-629 : 628

Melitaea phoebe type was encountered; only the new form was identified.

Aberrations of Melitaea athalia and M. didyma that were previously photographed in Erzurum (Moryayla) and Ankara (ODTÜ) by the authors can be seen in Figures 4 and 5 . The Melitaea athalia photographed in Erzurum bears a resemblance to the aberration from Kars Province given in the study of Hesselbarth et al. (1995), while the Melitaea didyma type bears great resemblance to the type given from Gümüşhane in the study of Hesselbarth et al. (1995).
