Aldania Raddei
''Aldania raddei '' is a butterfly found in the East Palearctic (Amur, Ussuri) that belongs to the browns family. Description from Seitz raddei Brem. (55d) stands entirely apart in facies; a remarkable species, which must be placed in the present genus 'Neptis''as it agrees with the same in its morphological characters. Moore has erected for its reception a special genus, ''Aldania''. Ground-colour white, dusted with grey-brown at the margins, the base and along the veins, the veins themselves blackish, a row of dark lunules along the margin, being especially distinct on the underside. — Amurland: Bureja Mts., Ussuri.Seitz, A. ed.

Apatura Ilia
''Apatura ilia'', the lesser purple emperor, is a species of butterfly native to most of Europe and east across the Palearctic. It is named for its similarity to the purple emperor butterfly. Description The wingspan is in the female and in the male. The upper side of the wings is dark brown, with metallic blue-violet hues in the male, and it has a clear postdiscal band on the hind wing and several light spots on the fore wing. These clear areas can be presented in two different aspects; they are white on the butterflies of the nominal form ''ilia'', and clear fawn in the form ''clytie''. For both forms, the fore wing also has an orange-coloured ocellus, which makes differentiating the species from ''Apatura iris'' possible. A similar ocellus is present on the hind wing in both species. The reverse side of the fore wing is brown and the back of the hind wing is dull brown with, as in ''A. iris'', an orange ocellus centered in black. File:Kleiner_Schillerfalter_-_Jungraupe_ ...
