Abstract
Analysis of the geographic variation of external characters of the satyrid Oeneis jutta (Lepidoptera, Satyridae) in the northeast of European Russia was carried out. Variation of the forewing length, diameter of eyespots, their total number and frequency of occurrence on the upper side of wings were studied. The regional populations of Oe. jutta were shown to lack significant differences in the characters studied. Besides the similarity of external characters, similar ecological traits also suggest that Oe. jutta populations from the northeast of European Russia belong to the nominative subspecies. The probable history of distribution of Oe. jutta across Europe also suggests that the nominative subspecies occurs in the territory studied.
