Fabriciana elisa

Fabriciana elisa, the Corsican fritillary, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.

[1] This is a mountain butterfly, found on grassy vegetation in clearings in deciduous woods.

Rather variable, above fiery brown-red to light orange-yellow, the black markings rather small and at the distal margin almost obsolete.

The hindwing beneath entirely dusted over with green, sometimes a small patch before the distal margin excepted; the silver-spots numerous but small, angular, sometimes reduced to heavy dots or comma-spots, the central ones having usually a dark edge.

— The species is restricted to the mountains of Corsica and Sardinia, where it is locally abundant in June and July, for instance on the Monte Gennargentu near Lanusei.
