Parnassius intermedius View in CoL f. fortuna Bang-Haas, 1912 [ P. phoebus fortuna Bang-Haas, 1912 ] = P. phoebus badmaevi Martynenko & Gluschenko, 2001 , syn. nova.

Considering that Darkhat Valley is populated by vaschenkoi, the conducted research allows us to firmly limit the locality of Arasagun-gol to the territory between Khuvsgul and Northern Khangai, which is logical, considering that one of the few ancient roads to the west of Mongolia from Ulaanbaatar passes through here. Noting the almost complete similarity of some females collected in the Olkhon locality with the types, and the known proximity of Arasagun-gol to Khuvsgul lake from old publications, we believe that Arasagun-gol is a locality located somewhere between Muren Somon [Village] (located on the main road) and Khatgal Village at the southern end of the lake, to which a branch of the main road goes (approximately 50° 5' N and 100° 6' E) GoogleMaps .

South of the fortuna range lies the huge Khangai ridge, on the southern macroslope of which (Tuin-gol river valley) the first author collected in 2002 a series of P. phoebus . The specimens from this locality appeared in the literature as supposedly new ( Weiss 2005: 260), but unfortunately have not yet been described. We correct this oversight below. Worth to note that two more taxa were described from Tuin-Gol: P. apollo churkini Möhn, 2003 and P. nomion chingizkhan Churkin, 2003 .
