03A4CD19FF800D14FE2CFA5C7F4BFBFD.taxon	description	(Figures 1 A, 2) The dorsal colour is Burnt Orange without iridescence (Figure 1 A). The scales are tile- or shovel-shaped with a toothed anterior margin. The length / width ratio of tile-shaped scales is 3 / 1 (120 / 40 mm). The shovel-shaped scales are shorter and wider (length / width 52 / 1, 80 / 40 mm). The dentation of the tile-shaped scales is deeper (Figure 2 A). We could not detect any qualitative difference between the microstructures of the two types. The longitudinal ridges are parallel and low, with flutes. The space (5 length of the microcells) between the ridges is approximately 1 mm. Cross ribs are straight, their intervals are slightly irregular and less than 0.5 mm. The microcells are oblong or rectangular and widely open (Figure 2 B, C). The nanostructures are irregularly fragmented and sparse or lost with the trabeculae, and the reverse surface of the scale can be clearly seen at higher magnification (Figure 2 D).	en	Bálint, Zsolt, Vértesy, Zofia, Biró, László P.

03A4CD19FF830D15FDD7FB977A47FB08.taxon	description	(Figures 1 B, 3) The dorsal colour is vivid Magenta Orange with Ecclesiastic Purple iridescence (Figure 1 B). The scales are tile- or shovel-shaped with a uniformly toothed anterior margin. The length / width ratio of the tile-shaped scales is 3 / 1 (150 / 50 mm); the shovelshaped scales are shorter, the length / width ratio is 2 / 1 (100 / 50 mm). The dentation of the tile-shaped scales is more pronounced while the dentation of the shovel-shaped scales is far less prominent (Figure 3 A). We found three types of scale microstructures, which suggest a transformation series (see Discussion): 1. The longitudinal ridges are low, showing flutes on the longitudinal ridges, the cross ribs are straight. The space between the cross ribs is approximately 0.5 mm; but highly variable, there are larger and smaller ratios. The widely open microcells are rectangular with fragmented nanostructures, the trabeculae and the lower scale membrane can be clearly seen (Figure 2 B). 2. The longitudinal ridges are moderate with flutes, which with curved cross ribs form rectangular-shaped deeper-laying microcells. Spaces between cross ribs are approximately 0.5 mm, and regular. The microcell openings are circular and pepper-pot nanostructures can be seen through the microcell openings (Figure 3 C). 3. The longitudinal ridges with flutes are high and the cross ribs are v-shaped and form rectangular, very narrow, almost completely closed microcells with a single circular opening at the bottom. The spaces between the cross ribs are less than 0.1 mm; their sequence is regular. Pepper-pot nanostructures can be seen beneath the openings (Figure 3 D).	en	Bálint, Zsolt, Vértesy, Zofia, Biró, László P.

03A4CD19FF820D1AFE20FADC78A8FB6A.taxon	description	(Figures 1 C, 4) The dorsal colour is iridescent Lobelia Blue (Figure 1 C). The scales are uniformly tileshaped with moderately toothed apical margins, with length / width ratio 3 / 2 (90 / 60 mm) (Figure 4 A). We could detect two kinds of scale microstructures.	en	Bálint, Zsolt, Vértesy, Zofia, Biró, László P.

03A4CD19FF8D0D1BFDC1FB327AD9FB3A.taxon	description	(Figures 1 D, 5) The dorsal colour is iridescent Lyons Blue (Figure 1 D). The scales are tile- or shovelshaped with slight anterior dentation (Figure 5 A) or are not dentate (Figure 5 B). The dentate tile-shaped scales are long with a length / width ratio of 3 / 1 (150 / 50 mm); the shovelshaped scales are wider with a length / width ratio of 5 / 3 (100 / 60 mm). The non-dentate scales are intermediate with a length / width ratio of 2 / 1 (120 / 60 mm). The slightly toothed scales possess moderate longitudinal ridges with flutes. They merge with curved cross ribs with rectangular shaped microcells. The space between the cross ribs is approximately 0.5 mm, but slightly irregular. The microcells are widely open, nanostructured material fragments and the trabeculae, plus the reverse surface of the scale, can be clearly seen (Figure 5 C). There are identically microstructured scales with pepper-pot nanostructures (Figure 5 D). The square-ended and non-dentate scales possess high longitudinal ridges with very closely set v-shaped cross ribs (Figure 5 E). They form rectangular, but very narrow and almost completely closed, microcells. The spaces between the cross ribs are less than 0.3 mm wide; their sequence is regular. The microcells have a single circular nanostructure opening below their base. Pepper-pot nanostructures can be seen beneath the openings (Figure 5 F).	en	Bálint, Zsolt, Vértesy, Zofia, Biró, László P.

03A4CD19FF8C0D18FE3EFAD27F7AFA16.taxon	description	(Figures 1 E, F, 6) The dorsal colours are Pansil Violet and Burnt Orange (Figure 1 E, F). The scales are tile- or shovel-shaped (Figure 6 A). The tile-shaped scales are long with a length / width ratio of 3.5 / 1 (140 / 40 mm). The tile-shaped scales are deeply dentate. The less dentate shovelshaped scales are intermediate with a length / width ratio of 3 / 1 (90 / 60 mm). The microstructures of the scales are identical: the parallel longitudinal ridges are low, showing flutes, and form, with straight cross ribs, rectangular microcells (Figure 6 B). The ridges and the ribs are strong, and sometimes with highly irregular interval sequences; the microcells are either open, or partly to completely closed (Figure 6 C – F). Pepper-pot-like nanostructure fragments can be seen deeply within, but there are also entirely empty regions. The violet structural colour of the basal and median area of the wing dorsa is produced by the pepper-pot nanostructures still intact in particular areas (Figure 6 G, H).	en	Bálint, Zsolt, Vértesy, Zofia, Biró, László P.
