About Coenonympha thyrsis Freyer, 1846
Scientific name: Coenonympha thyrsis Freyer, 1846. Description from Seitz: C. thyrsis Fn-. (48 e). This species is most closely related to the preceding species, C. vaucheri. It differs from C. vaucheri in that its apical ocellus is not particularly large, and the 5 dots along the distal margin of the hindwing are very minute. On the underside, the pattern is much less variegated and contrasting than that of C. vaucheri. The apex of the cell is not white, and the dirty white distal portion of the hindwing is reduced to a pale band, because the distal margin is broadly dark. This species occurs in Candia, and is active in May and June.
