Copenhagen, Denmark, june 12, 2012.
Referring to this articke http://www.entomohelvetica.ch/pdf/ausgabe3/139_145_Spight_BUCH.pdf X. dives is acceptet as a separate species different from X. stackelbergi (and pedissequum).

The tip of the forewings ar darkened/infuscated, and the shape of the median, Black longitudinal stripe on frons indicate X. dives.

I called it X. stackelbergi because the staus of X. dives as a separate species was still uncertain in the Sweedish "nationalnycken" I used.

Thanks in adwance
