A relatively small erebia which I have seen only once, at an altitude of over 2000m. The form phartina (no, I'm not making it up, this really is the scientific name) is darker and with the upf and uph red post-discal bands reduced to discrete red marks, and occurs above 1800m.
12222: a male of the form phartina. It was apparently different in size and markings to other erebia flying, but I only managed to get this distance shot. Altitude 1990m.
