Three aberrations of the Map (Araschnia levana) by Slovak researcher Radomir Blažek.
Assessed (by me) to be:
Figure 1. ab. latogerardini
Figure 2. ab. zavřeli
Judging from the numbering on the labels, these come from a long series which were presumably bred for research. According to the abstract in one of Blažek’s papers (PDF, Slovak with some English), these forms can be produced by chemical injection of Phosphotungstic acid.
The paper contains some nice clear images, and for anyone looking to put names to their own levana aberrations, this could be a useful starting point.
