Limenitis doerriesi

Limenitis doerriesi is a butterfly found in the East Palearctic (Amur (Khabarovsk), Ussuri, Northeast China, Korea) that belongs to the browns family.

Near the distal margin of both wings, contiguous to a row of sharply marked small black spots, there are mostly also white elongate spots (absent from the figure of the male), which are not present in the anterior area of the forewing, but may be considerably enlarged at the centre of the distal margin.

The white spots situated between the median veins of the forewing stand somewhat nearer the middle of the wing than in duplicata [form of L. helmanni] .

In the male the rest of the underside is almost as in duplicata, the white band, however, is somewhat narrower and there are distinct black dots in the grey spots of the marginal area.

In the rather larger female the outer area of the underside is more evenly ochreous, with white marginal lunules and a row of small elongate white spots in a narrow grey band; before each of these spots there is a black dot, the anal angle as in the male bearing a double dot.
