Is this really bolivari? My bolivari are snow white, literally. My L a. bolivari is white too so its probably L a. albicans

The male is paler than actually shown in the photo, flash was used, I have 4 males from a locality I was taken to many years ago by a local collector I met in the hills north of Madrid one day, it was an hours drive to the colony and not many where out. So I'm not 100% sure now!

hello Nomad, the ceronous forms of bellargus are crazy. seem to be Lysandra punctifera of Morocco. are all specimens caught in England? with regard to the distinction between albicans subspecies honestly in my opinion is very difficult. the Lysandra group still has unknowns and I think deserves a thorough study and correct (see the case of L. philippi, L. nufrellensis etc.) about Albicans i'm preparing albicans dujardini of Morocco and I hope shortly to send you the photos ................. (can not wait) .......

My friend has just finished curating his extensive British blue Lycaenidae collection in which he is specializing at the moment . His collection of Polyommatus [Lysandra coridon] and L. bellargus is very large and he has many rare aberrations of these species. Most of the Chalkhill Blue aberrations were named by using , A Monograph of the British Aberrations of the Chalkhill Blue [1938] by Percy M. Bright and H. Leeds. In the field these rarities were much sought after by the Victorian collectors. I hope that Lycaenidae collectors and others will enjoy viewing these. The first complete drawers are male upperside aberrations of L.coridon, the second female aberrations. L.coridon. View AttachmentView AttachmentL. coridon.
