Erebia iranica  Erebia iranica is a butterfly found in the East Palearctic (Caucasus North Iran, Turkey) that belongs to the browns family. "E. iranica" Gr.-Grsh. was described as a forma of "Erebia tyndarus" from North Persia. It is often smaller than the nymotypical form of "tyndarus", the band of the fore- and hindwing being rather bright russet-red. The subapical ocelli of the forewing are large and bear bright white pupils.
