Pseudochazara mniszechii, the tawny rockbrown, is a species of butterfly in the family Nymphalidae.
[1] It is confined to Greece, Turkey, northern Iran, Balochistan, and the Caucasus.
Very similar to the preceding [ S. telephassa ], especially in the female sex but with the reddish yellow band of the forewing with the proximal edge less straight, neither being interrupted below the apical ocellus as in the pelopea- forms , nor strongly constricted as in telephassa.
At the anal angle of the hindwing above there are always 2 distinct small white spots.
— In herrichii [now subspecies ] Stgr., from North Persia and Turkestan, the fringes are white, the bands of the upperside broader and brighter red -yellow; the hindwing beneath grey, the markings being more distinct in the male.
