Melanargia larissa, the Balkan marbled white, is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae.

It is found from south-eastern Europe (Croatia, Serbia, Albania, Bulgaria, Greece) and Asia Minor to Transcaucasia and north-western Iran.

[1] The habitat consists of dry grasslands, scrubby hillsides and grassy woodland glades.

(38f) is easily recognized by the strongly sooty blackening of the bases of the wings, only the cell having some light places left.

The transverse cell-bar of the forewing is not so close to the centre of the cell, being apparently a little shifted towards the apex of the same, and the median band of the hindwing has a somewhat different position, but also varies rather considerably.
