A heavily marked individual (basal area, hindwing spots and hindwing submarginal markings). I think it is closer to aroaniensis than the usually much more heavily marked admetus.

One of the very similar Anomalous Blue species. This one is found only in SE Europe only in the Greek mountains as far as I'm aware. It flies with or close to A. ripartii and A. neophohiptamenos (Ripart's and Higgin's Anomalous Blues). It has smaller spots on the underside hindwing and usually (but by no means always) the underside white streak is faint or even absent.
