| All these Erebia's have been photographed in the middle of August in Val d' Hérens (Switzerland) between approximately 1600 and 2400 meters. |

| The Erebia above was flying among E. tyndarus. However it looks quite different, it doesn't have ocelli on it is upperside forewing and also it doesn't have the blue/greenish shine. The underside hindwing is rather dull brown and has hardly any contrast. The sun shining on the left wing in the first picture suggests that there is a light band on the underside forewing. My first guess would be E. gorge forma erynis. |

| Again a small Erebia. I think it isn't E. melampus because the ocelli are missing on the upperside forewing. And I think the forewings aren't round enough too. Maybe Erebia pharte??? |

| Same reason as Erebia 003/004, the spots are missing. However the shape of the orange band is quite different compared to the former Erebia. |

| On one particular path hundreds of small Erebia's were flying around. Most of them were E. tyndarus. But there were a lot of varations. Some didn't have spots on the underside forewing. This one has no white spots in the ocelli on the upperside forewing. Still, I think this is E. tyndarus. |

| This is probably yet another Erebia Tyndarus. This time the spots are missing on th underside hindwing. |
