It is found in Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey.Seitz states-In the North-East of Asia Minor, Goman Olti (Pontus, at an altitude of about 1500 m), and in Armenia a usually smaller, pale and in both sexes sparsely marked mountain-form of Archon apollinus occurs, which is moreover characterized bya reduced marginal band of the hindwing; this is apollinaris Stgr. (= pallidior Spuler) (10 d); a dwarfed form of the female which is very deeply coloured in contrast to the ordinary form of the female of this subspecies may be called -ab. mardina (Stgr. i. I.), under which name it is already known in collections.[1]
