Melanargia titea

Melanargia titea, the Levantine marbled white, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.

It is found in Syria, Jordan, the Palestinian Territories, Israel, Armenia, Lebanon, Iran and Turkey.

Adults are on wing from April to June.

[3] The larvae feed on Gramineae and Poaceae species.

Recent research suggest Melanargia titea is in fact a subspecies of Melanargia larissa, while Melanargia titea wiskotti is raised to full-species rank.
