The population of Pót displays the greatest difference as regards both the Sliven and the other two Middle Danubien populations. Its form and size they generally equal those of uhryki . The ba'sic color of the male is a dull violet grey which has a platinum grey shine. In its blue color there are dispersed random black scale bundles-, Invisible to the naked eye. This blackness increases to such an extent in some spe­cimens that it seems as if a veil were covering the wings. The black margin is rather marked on both fore and hindwings of the males. There are usually 5 submarginal dots on the hindwings. These stand usually free or mixing eventually in­to the margin; indeed, there are specimens where this mer­ging builds a broad black rim. There are also some specimens with orange spots over some of the submarginal dots. The basic color of the underside of the wings in the male is varying from light grey to dark grey.In the majority of them, .i.e. in the type, this color is mouse grey or jglate grey, lacking any yellowieh fuscous tint. The orange spots are large on the hind wings, spreading out Into the white submarginal area at its expense; the small black dots borde­ring on them are smaller with never a blue metallic scale In them. • The basic color of the females is an almost totally dark chocolate brown. On their upper wings rarely can the orange crescent be seen. These are, however, well developed on the hind wings with a white or pale blue arch usually completing them from the side of the margin. The cilia are white at the apices, otherwise grey, - but absolutely grey ciliae may also occur. The basic color of the underside of the wings vary from an ashen brown, to coffee brown* The o­range spots are big, darker, brighter. Metallic soales are absent also here. The flight of the butterfly is in *he second half of may, and it lasts for two weeks. The three Middle Danubian populations are therefore,
