Melanargia
''Melanargia'' is a genus of butterflies belonging to the family Nymphalidae and the subfamily Satyrinae (formerly family Satyridae). This genus, described by Johann Wilhelm Meigen in 1828, is the only genus in the subtribe Melanargiina, Wheeler, 1903. The adults of this genus of satyrines are easily distinguished by their white wings with black veins and markings (hence the common name "marbled whites"). A peculiar phenotypic distinctiveness is also a dilated vein 12 at the base of the forewing. Butterflies of genus ''Melanargia'' are widespread from Europe and north Africa to Japan. Species and subspecies The investigations on genetic divergence and phylogenetic relationships among ''Melanargia'' species have recognized three subgenera (''Melanargia'', ''Argeformia'', and ''Halimede'') and reclassified the genus in 20 species and relevant subspecies as follows Subgenus ''Melanargia'' Meigen, 1829 * ''Melanargia galathea'' (Linnaeus, 1758) - marbled white ** ''Melanargia ga ...

Melanargia Larissa
''Melanargia larissa'', the Balkan marbled white, is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found from south-eastern Europe (Croatia, Serbia, Albania, Bulgaria, Greece) and Asia Minor to Transcaucasia and north-western Iran. The habitat consists of dry grasslands, scrubby hillsides and grassy woodland glades. Adults are on wing from mid-May to July in one generation per year. The wingspan is about 52 mm. The nymotypical form ''larissa'' Hbn. (38f) is easily recognized by the strongly sooty blackening of the bases of the wings, only the cell having some light places left. The forms allied to ''larissa'' can be separated from the '' japygia''- forms only withdifficulty and some arbitrariness. The transverse cell-bar of the forewing is not so close to the centre of the cell, being apparently a little shifted towards the apex of the same, and the median band of the hindwing has a somewhat different position, but also varies rather considerably.

The black discocellular anguliform spot of the forewing constricted where it is bent. Hindwing entirely white, apart from the interrupted submarginal band; the base very sparingly dusted, the markings of the underside however shine through in the male.

''Melanargia russiae'', or Esper's marbled white, is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in Spain, Portugal, south-eastern France, Italy, the Balkans, southern Russia, the Caucasus and western Siberia. The male has a wingspan of 26–30 mm. In ''suwarovius'' Hbst. (– ''clotho'' Hbn., ''russiae'' Esp.) (38 e), which represents the species in the North and extends from Hungary across South Russia and Siberia to the Altai, the discocellular band of the forewing becomes lighter in consequence of the appearance of a white central spot in the same, this white spot with its black border forming a kind of median ocellus. – In ''caucasica'' Nordm. (– ''xenia'' Frr.) subspecies ''japygia'' Cyrillo, 1787(38 e) also the median band of the hindwing is rendered light by the appearance of white spots, the black markings therefore being all separated into stripes, lunules, and arcuate lines.
