Species found 30.10.17 in Freiburg (Elbe), Germany.
Found on sunny stairs, close to some sheep on an embankment.
Any comment appreciated.

Thanks Niels-Jan,
female is obvious. Any explanation for the Polietes versus Helina. Just to learn the difference.
And if Polietes any clue for the subspecies or is a photo not enough?
Cheers, Lars

In
Polietes the dm-Cu crossvein is very slanted, almost parallel to the posterior wing margin. Also, in
Polietes there are strong presutural acr. and a strong pd in distal third of hind tibia (as in
Phaonia). On you picture, only the first clue is visible.
