after Bollino, M. & Racheli, T., 2012,
Butterflies of the World, Supplement 20,
Russia, Hungary and Slovakia = Z. polyxena polyxena
southern France = previously unnamed subspecies of polyxena
Macedonia, NE-Greece = A. cerisy ferdinandi
Cyprus = A. cerisy cerisy
Russia = another species, probably A. caucasica
regards, Manfred

Allancastria caucasica shouldn't get as far north as Krasnodar, and A. cerisy definitely isn't found there. Are you sure of the identity and the data?
Bollino & Racheli (2012) synonymised the Russian Zerynthia polyxena thesto with subspecies polyxena.
Adam.

Dear Manfred and Adam,
Thank you for your help with these.
I'll try and take some pictures of the Russian specimens and post over the next day or so...until then - thanks again.
