Description from Seitz[]
— ichnusa Bon. (62f ) is distinguished particularly by the less angulate wings, the deeper red ground-colour, and usually by the absence of the discal and hindmarginal spots of the forewing. Closely allied to the following race [turcica Stgr. now Aglais urticae turcica (Staudinger, 1871)], transitions from the nymotypical subspecies to ichnusa occur in the southern districts of the latter.
