Phegea53-3. <b>Morphological note. </b><b><i>Hipparchia volgensis</i></b><b><i> </i></b><b>(Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae)</b><b><i> </i></b><b>from Dobrogea reveals a surprising genitalia form</b>
During an entomological trip in 2023 to Dobrogea (Romania), a very worn male specimen of <i>Hipparchia volgensis</i> (Mazochin-Porshnjakov, 1952) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) was collected in Agighiol, Tulcea county. Its genitalia surprisingly and unexpectedly deviate from its normal form. Is this finding a hitherto unknown teratological form of <i>Hipparchia volgensis?</i>
