Presumable females first identify their possible mate from larger distances, via light signals, and males do the same vice versa. Brown females have conspicuously different spectral properties from those of the males (Fig. 14), resembling discoloured polyommatine lycaenid males (cf. BlRÓ et al. 2003). Fig. 13. Reflectance spectra of five Polyommatus species measured on dorsal forewing surfaces in the area of the discal cell apex, composed from five male individuals of each species Fig. 14. Reflectance spectra of Polyommatus teams (ROTTEMBURG, 1775) male and brown female phenotypes measured in the area of the discal cell apex, composed from five male individuals; the female spectrum is based on a single specimen
