Description

Tadokoro et al. (2014) reviewed intraspecific classification of Mesapia peloria (Hewitson, 1853), and drew a preliminary distribution map of distinct local subspecies, but could not complete the map due to lack of specimens. In this paper, we place more precisely the venue of the type locality, vaguely described as "at great elevation on the mountains of Chinese Tartary", and update the distribution map of this butterfly. M. p. wymanni Ziegler, 2007 is synonymized with M. p. lama (Alpheraky, 1887).
