(7h) not only the collar and 2—8 abdominal segments are red but also the patagia, the red spots of the forewing being very large; from Syria and Armenia.In subspecies Z. o. laetifica Herrich-Schäffer, 1846 the pairs of spots on forewing are separate. — In Z. o. ganimedes Freyer, [1851] from Amasia, the penultimate pair of spots and the apical patch are rather broadly connected and the red markings of the forewing have a white edge of about 1 mm width.[3]
