Muschampia proto (Ochsenheimer, 1808)

Rare and very local. One generation: late July - August.

Early/late dates: July 25 - August 18.

Habitat: steppes.

Remark: According to [Pljushtch et al., 2005], Eastern Europe is inhabited by M. proteides Wagner, 1929 (while M. proto is strictly Mediterranean). The support for this decision is not quite clear. More evidence, as well as a confirmation of the specific status of proteides, are desirable.
